Excellent location and clean. Only complaint was the bed in Bedroom 1. Both my wife and I had a hard time sleeping and had sore backs. Besides what is was a 5 star.

Fantastic location

The location is perfect, close enough to all the popular tourist spots but far enough away that you’re not crowded. The property was as described and clean.

We had a wonderful stay!

The property was very nice and we loved being right now the beach! It was not very busy, we had lots of space on the beach for fun, and could walk back into the house whenever we wanted. What a relaxing way to spend a beach long weekend! We had a great time and would stay here again.

Great property

Great property right on the beach, if the beds were a little more comfortable would have been 5 star! Our family will stay here again - really enjoyed the place. Thanks

What a view and access to the beach

The place was awesome, great private pathway to the beach was our favorite part. It’s a little outdated for the price and the mattresses throughout needs to be out on the side of the road but all in all it’s great. I would definitely stay again here.

Perfect for our size family. The deck and board walk was a great amminity.

The kitchen and family room tied together is a great concept. The board walk was a life saver. This house is far away enough from the traffic and noise of the Hangout, but close enough to get to Bahama Bob's in 4 min. Only negative: need a better grill. We would stay here again.

First family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a good experience. There were a couple things that we had to actually purchase to use some of the functions such as TV remote and a bath tub stopper.

The Reach

The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Loved having the boardwalk to the beach. You could leave a few more rolls of toilet paper & garbage bags when you are offering a 4 bedroom house. The garbage did not get picked up so it was a bit tough to get our bags into the outside trash can. We enjoyed our stay and spent a lot of evening time on the deck looking into the water. We had a great stay.

It's OK

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great, beach access, etc. When the AC would kick on, the bedroom lights would flicker. The lamps in the living room also flickered, if the cord wasn't just right. None of the furniture was particularly comfy. Bought a bed pad for one because it felt so thin. The last night half the house electricity went out. Nothing popped in breaker. Was off about an hour and then started working. The place was clean. They had necessary pots and pans, kitchen felt good. Not to small. It was meh.

The house was the perfect sz for our family and it was right on the beach. The host communicated quickly and efficiently took care of any small issue we might have had during our stay. I would definitely want to stay here again in the future!

Family vacay

2nd time staying here. We opted to stay here this year after a great time last year. Love the location of the house and everything about it. Minor updates needed. The only complaint we had really is the pipe of dredged material being discharged our last two days but we knew it was there and that's out of the hands of the property owner. Perfect place for the perfect vacation

Not what you pay for.

The location was fine, but the house is beyond outdated. It could really use a fresh coat of paint as well as new decking on the balcony. The balcony handrails are flimsy and should not be trusted. The stairs leading up to the entry door were very steep and lack handrails on both sides. We had two people in our party that really needed extra support to get up and down the stairs. Floor tiles are cracked and rooms are very small. The beds are horrible and should have been replaced years ago. No one in my party got a decent night sleep on these beds. Some actually bought air mattresses just to make it through. The check in and out process was easy, however it seems like check in times keep getting later and check out times keep getting earlier (but i guess that's true everywhere). Overall, location was fine, but wouldn't recommend to others based on my experience for the price. 2-1/2 stars just because check in and out was easy.

Reviews are worth what you pay for them.

Reviews are worth what you pay for them, including this one so please take with a grain of salt. My goal is not to influence you to book or not book this home, but to inform you of what to expect if you do. We have taken our family to the beach the day after Christmas for several years. On this trip there was 10 of us counting husbands, fiancées, girlfriends, and boyfriends. 2 more of us could not make it this year due to a conflicting trip. Now that our family has grown up, it is difficult for us all to get together. This is the reason we go to the beach, to spend time together as a family. The good. The house was clean. The communication was good. Arrival and entry were easy. The location is good. Now the bad. This house does not sleep 12, not comfortably. Not close. The only way it would work is if your party had lots of children who didn’t care where they slept. We did not have small children and remember, there was 10 of us, not 12. The day after we arrived, the next morning, we scrambled and leased another home (condo) so we would have enough room for everyone. Ouch! So, some of us stayed at this house and some stayed at the condo. Not ideal for what we were planning. Something else you should know. The beach has experienced serious erosion so there wasn’t a beach. The leasing agency has nothing to do with this but think It’s something you should know. We are a very active family and like to play games on the beach while we’re there. There was hardly anywhere to place a chair. Also, because of the erosion, getting down to the beach was a real challenge. You must be able to scale the dune which is steep. An elderly person or someone with limited physical ability would have a difficult time doing this. Lastly, this rental is a down and dirty, no-frills rental. The agency will send you a list of things that you need to bring with you if you lease it. Pay attention to that list, they are not joking. We had one wash cloth when we arrived. Again, the agency, I think, said this but I didn’t believe they were serious. They were. Also, if you want to hang any of your cloths, bring clothes hangers. Overall, I would give this place about a 2 star. Primarily due to how uncomfortable it was for 10 people. We would not lease this home again. Remember, reviews are very subjective. You may go and wonder what the heck that guy was complaining about. I hope that’s the case. I just wished someone else would have written this before me.

Uncomfortable Beds

Good location. Place was clean. Unfortunately the beds are really old and worn out. Very saggy and uncomfortable. Reached out before our stay based on other reviews and after our first night. The owners don't care enough to replace the uncomfortable mattresses. The place overall is getting beat up. Broken tiles. Finish flaking off cabinets. Carpet well worn and kinda dingy. They also need to clean out the grills. They were packed full of old charcoal. Not fun to do.

As advertised

So let's keep in mind the importance of location location location. We stayed a full week and as the previous reviews said the beds were the topic of conversation. Couple of the beds were softer than the main bed. Would definitely consider dropping 100 or 200 bucks of the 2+k we spent for a pillow topper for the master...a simple fix that will go a long way. 1st bathroom needs a stopper for the tub but not a big deal unless your wanting to bath toddlers who spent time on the beach. Had most everything we needed to cook meals and eat with. There are 2 walmart grills downstairs and traditional coffee pot for filters however no beach toys or chairs so bring your own. Also towels are limited for a larger family. Could use a bit of updating for those that see it as an issue. Other than that, we spent alot of time on the balcony and yes, the walkway is mere feet from a mostly uninhabited beach. Overall, we enjoyed our stay with just the one exception of the master bed being uncomfortable to sleep on.

Great beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is great with an awesome view! We brought an umbrella for the balcony for some shade, and it was fine. There are no stairs going down from the balcony to the walkway going to beach. There was only one way in and out of the house, the front door. The stairway to the house is under the porch. The boardwalk to beach is nice,but at the end was a broken jagged step, and a couple missing steps. Made it a very steep drop. You have to be careful not to get cut. We never needed maintenance, but they still showed up on 2 different days. No problem, but I would like to suggest you let guest know they are coming. We did enjoy our stay. Short walk to the beach, and loved the house, although the beds are uncomfortable.

Would recommend

Great stay for families. Plenty of sleeping space and 2 full bathrooms. Easy beach access. Away from the more busy areas of the beach. Short drive to food and shopping.
