Reviewer Comments:
This is the second time we've rented this house. The first time was four years ago and the house was in very good shape. It still has great things going for it besides its location. Master bedroom is in great condition and is highly functional. The beds are all still in good shape as is most of the furniture in the house. Outdoor decks are great with super seating and swings. Well stocked (cooking utensils) kitchen. Lots of good stuff for small families.But she's aging now. There are a lot of maintenance issues including peeling exterior paint, water stains on the ceilings, kitchen cabinets that don't close, dishwasher missing lockable tines, sliders that no child and some women can open since they are worn out and don't slide well, etc. This house also took a glancing blow from a hurricane and there are many turnbuckles under the house holding the leaning pilings together. The backyard has lost 30' since we were last there with almost the entire dune wiped out. Stairs to the beach were buried under mountains of sand. Like all houses on this side of the island, accretion and erosion are steadily taking their toll.Good house for a small family and some guests. About 3400 ft2 so not a huge house but comfortable with good sleeping arrangements and well maintained bathrooms.Looking back on this I'm not sure I can justify paying $14k for a four night stay. That seems like a lot for off season. Maybe if this place gets a minor facelift it will see its past glory but till then we will take our fond memories of the beach with us and send our appreciation for the time there.
