Unusable space

The room below the main living area was uninhabitable due to a strong smell of mold and dampness. There was a huge air purifier running, which lets me know the owner knows that it’s an issue. This place should not be listed as having that additional room because of this situation. Only the main area which was great is usable. I saw this concern listed in a previous review and was hopeful, it had been taken care of, but it was not. Unfortunately, one of our guests had to leave and return to Houston due to limited space and concern over her allergies being triggered by attempting to stay in that area.

Horrible property

This was the worst VRBO experience I have ever had. This property should be condemned when we arrived the deck that looks so pristine on the pictures was full of bird poop splinters the cushions on the patio furniture smelled like urine. That’s horrible when we entered the downstairs unit it smelled like mold and mildew when we entered the main facilities, mold and mildew and cockroaches we also Experience a stopped up zinc in the downstairs unit we experienced mold and mildew when we lifted the mattress the barbecue pit should be thrown away. We were all traumatized. I had invited 15 members of my family to celebrate Fourth of July and we could not stay in this property now I am working with VRBO and Rice and vacations to get a full refund of Our no stay here I called ahead of time and question the property management company about the property based on the June 11 review and they assured me that everything was taken care of well. It was not. I am really very disappointed. Never had an experience like this and I’ve traveled the world.

Not quite as advertised

Overpriced.Wonderful beachfront location. Beautiful view. House was clean.Issues. There are holes in the walls. Many places the furniture has scraped the walls. There are bent curtain rods. The mattresses are old and worn.The description said there is a charcoal grill avaliable. There is. It's the smallest grill I've ever seen. No way to cook multiple steaks like I planned. We had to go buy a Weber grill. There is also a gas grill that is filthy and hasn't been cleaned in a very long time.The kitchen is lacking many things. The knives are beyond dull. There's no sharpener. No working can opener. No cheese grater. The light over the stove doesn't work. The dishwasher doesn't always work. Bring all your own utensils if you plan to cook.We had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. Only enough for two days on a week long stay.With all of that the place felt cheap. I expected better

Loved location, views

The home is really nice. The large deck had plenty of colorful seating and the view is obviously beautiful. The interior was even nicer than it seemed in the photos. I could tell someone put thought and care into decorating. You can walk or drive to the little convenient store/supermarket as well as the marina restaurant if need be. We did request maintenance on the first day because the washer wasn’t draining. We’d stuck the guest room comforter in there bc it smelled like perfume and didn’t realize there was water already in the washer. I tried to drain it, tried to wash it again and drain it, but it didn’t drain. The property management company said they’d sent the request. I reminded them a couple of times during our stay (I was worried about their comforter too), but no one ever showed, which was a bummer bc we also couldn’t use the washer. I’ve read bad reviews about this property management company so I wasn’t surprised. (That said they were kind on the phone when I had a lock box issue so it’s not everyone who works there). A few things to note: - the downstairs room is detached from the main home. It’s on the ground level and needs a separate key — in other words don’t count that as a room for your young kids unless you’re comfortable with that. - The downstairs room also smells musty/moldy. I wouldn’t want to sleep in it tbh. The rest of the home upstairs is lovely and not musty. - The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, plates, cups and pots and pans.
