You're paying for location.
Despite everything that follows, I'd rent the property again, but I would definately force a cleaning when I arrived. The property is in a great location, its big, plenty of rooms for a good number of guests -- we have a large family. I think some of the rules are crazy, 800$ fine for playing music outside, but understandable. Overall the house was dirty, and there were many things that needed maintenance. I was a bit disappointed at how unclean the home was when we arrived, and how little it was staged with creature comforts, like 2 ply toilet paper. Either way, we were able to get everything we needed. Stellar location, friendly property manager, but dirty and staged poorly for the price. I can't help but feel taken advantage of given the dirty house, however, my wife is very pleased with the location and had a blast. Reminder to those that rent, make sure they actually clean the home prior to your arrival. I'm pretty sure the maid service has never really thoroughly cleaned that home given the blood/boogers/dirt/whatever on the walls, baseboards, and apparently stained sheets. At over 1,000$ a night, I expect a clean house, without trash and broken items everywhere -- call me crazy.

Great Location
The home was very large, which is just what we were looking for to host my husband's office staff. The pool area was wonderful, shaded. The walk to the beach was short and perfect. The views were gorgeous from every room.

Best VRBO so far!
Amazing views! Comfortable beds! We had 9 people there and you couldn’t hear anyone getting up or in the main area while you were sleeping. Perfect pool and hot tub area! Love the location 1 mile walk on beach to bar with live music!

Ideal Location
The house is spacious and accommodated our large family in the six bedrooms. This house is all about the location! While there were certain challenges while we were there, the property manager/owner was quick to answer our calls and respond to our needs ... even on Christmas Day.

Great location wonderful pool area
The house is beautiful but I may be ready for a little updating (carpet, paint, minor repairs, etc.) The layout of the house is great, location was excellent and the pool area was our favorite part of the stay. The beds are comfortable and the bedroom setup worked perfectly for our group of 4 couples. The beach is easily accessible with a short walk very quiet during the week and not crowded at all on the weekend. The house has most of the items you will need in the kitchen and bathrooms including some board games, dishes, pots and pans, and laundry. We also had access to plenty of clean beach towels, boogie boards, inflatables and lawn chairs. The only thing we couldn't find was a pair of scissors. You will have quick access to shopping, restaurants and the night life on the southern side of the island. There is parking for 4 cars, 2 are covered spaces. Thanks for a fun stay. We would definitely consider renting again.

Great Beach House
This house has plenty of room for everyone and well furnished. There is a great view of the ocean and a shaded pool that can be enjoyed anytime. The beach is only a short walk away and never crowded. There was a sea turtle hatchling release a short distance away and two members of our party woke up early enough to walk down the beach for this amazing event. It was a great time for all.

Not great- barely okay.
Was probably a lovely place when new....needs to be freshened up, painted and repaired. Sadly, the least appealing home in the neighborhood. PRO’S: Roomy, Pool/hot tub good, nice views, laundry on site, In a nice development. CON’S: Run down, shabby, not maintained well. Main living areas have dirty walls, dirty/stained carpets. Upholstery and bed spreads are faded, dirty and TIRED. Entry doors look awful! Rust and peeling paint...not a good first impression. A lot of mold in outside bathroom, ick! . Kitchen poorly stocked, many things there but unusable ie. cord missing, pans warped, not enough utensils. There is more..... For the $$, it was a big disappointment. The pictures did not represent the current condition! We had a nice time as a family in spite of the CONS. Cannot recommend.

Great stay!
Pictures don't do justice on this home. Fully stocked kitchen, bunk rooms and plenty of space for 7 people. On a private beach which helped with keeping social distancing Would be visiting again
