Fun time!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cassine Village is a beautiful quiet neighborhood. We stayed with another family, so the two rooms with king sized beds was nice. The walk to the beach was easy for 5 kids between the ages of 2-8. (We had our stroller wagon for the littlest). The house had everything we needed for a great beach trip. The kids loved the bunk room and the beds were comfortable. We skipped the beach one day and used the neighborhood pool, which was nice and clean. We cooked and prepped all but one meal, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The pots must have been changed since the last review, because they were in good shape (only one had a lot of leaves scratches in the non-stick surface. We did bring our own knife, so I don’t know how sharp those were. Some rentals we have stayed in with previous companies have had basic spices left by previous renters, but there are none, so be sure to bring your own or add it to your grocery list. The outdoor shower had warm water, making it easier for the toddlers to get cleaned up after the beach. And it was nice having a beach chairs and some toys available to use with a wagon to load it all in!The washer and dryer were good enough. You just may need to run the dryer twice to make sure everything is all the way dry.

Beautiful home tucked in a quiet neighborhood.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The setup of the house is great. Loved that it was only two story, instead of three like we usually end up with for 4+ bedrooms. Love there was a bedroom on the first floor, but it’s a bit tight. Wish my parents could have had a king, but there was not enough room. Wonderful to have a shower out back, and you guys did great stocking up the Beach equipment. That was a nice surprise! Lots of chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. We brought our own, but just so the next guest sees this. They have them. Great three bedrooms upstairs. The bathrooms need an update, and I do agree with previous guests, the cleaning wasn’t great when we got there. (Mostly the floors were still pretty dirty, I know sand is hard to get up, but our feet were really dirty day one). We had a broken coffee maker, but the management company was extremely responsive, and we had a new one within a few hours. Thank you! Pots and pans are rough, they need to be replaced when you can. The neighborhood was so peaceful and quaint. We loved sitting out on the porch in the evenings. Walk to the beach was a bit longer than we thought, BUT the beach access stairs were the BEST we ever have had down here! Only 17 steps!!! We counted because my mom just had her knee replaced this year, totally thought she’d have to skip the beach, but she was able to get down there! A bit crowded, condo right there at beach access, but pool was great. Very friendly people. Overall great trip. Thank you for sharing your home!

Mermaids’ Rest
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Mermaids’ Rest is in a great location. We love this area of Seagrove and this was our second time staying in Cassine Village. It is about an 8 minute walk to the beach access and is in a very quiet area, close to community pool and tennis courts. We had air conditioning problems throughout our whole stay. We had to contact benchmark multiple times about the issue and the temperature stayed 75 even after the unit was supposedly fixed. The air conditioner can’t manually be changed to below 72 degrees even if it would have worked our average temperature was 75 and one day went up to 85. The freezer also didn’t make ice at first and the fridge wasn’t cooling well until a few days into the trip. The house is as pictured and most of the house was clean except the floors were very dirty. Our feet were black within minutes of taking our shoes off. The downstairs mattress also needs to be replaced, it sags very bad in the middle. One last issue we had was with the TVs, they weren’t working and benchmark had to come out and reset them. Overall we had a great trip, but there were a few inconveniences throughout the week, especially the air conditioner.

If the beach is too crowded, and the one within walking distance usually is, the pools were not, so you could choose where you wanted to be. The location is within walking distance of great restaurants and a bit of shopping.

We loved Cassine Gardens!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: We stayed at Mermaid’s Rest for two weeks and absolutely loved the neighborhood. It was quaint and quiet, perfect for our family and in a great location. We biked all of 30A from here, and spent a lot of time in Seaside! We loved that the owners left a binder of all local recommendations and a guide of the area. The house was spacious with a good layout and equipped with everything we needed. We were able to walk or quickly bike to the beach!The downfall was the cleanliness of the house. It did not appeared properly cleaned at all. Our feet were black within an hour of entering the house and walking around. It felt there was a layer of grime on everything. There was a ton of very visible dust under the beds, there was hair in the showers and mold in the toilets. It took my husband 45 minutes to clean the grill before using. I ended up spending a day doing a full clean of the house before we were able to settle in.Aside from that, we had an Incredibly memorable trip and would definitely rent in Cassine Gardens again!

Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: This was our second year in a row booking Mermaids Rest. Positives, great location, great house with lots of room and bathrooms. Only issue we had was the floors downstairs are so dirty your feet turn black, but I honestly think this is a battle at any beach house. With the battle of sand on the tile floors it’s almost impossible. They did have a well stocked kitchen and a grill. The neighborhood was super friendly as well. Parking is super easy, enough for 3 good sized vehicles. I would definitely rent the property again.

Everything was great except there were a few things (water bottle, empty bag of chips in a bedroom closet) that didn’t get cleaned up from the previous renters. There was also a cabinet in the kitchen that wouldn’t stay closed.

It was all smooth sailing after that. The house is so charming & conveniently located to so much, yet the neighborhood has the perfect small town feel & was always so quiet.

Lovely home that needs TLC
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home in a lovely community & convenient location. Home needs some TLC, though. Floors were extremely dirty (black dirt; not sand). Dishwasher smelled horrible when we opened it to load a few dishes so we could run it as we departed. Toilets had a lot of black crud up under the rim. Various minor repairs need to be made. We did not let any of these issues deter us from enjoying our stay, but this lovely home definitely needs a deep cleaning & better overall maintenance. I would recommend this property to a friend b/c it’s such a nice home in a great location—BUT ONLY IF this home first receives some TLC.
