Family Getaway

Overall, we really enjoyed staying in this home. There was plenty of space for our family of six and the house was clean. The check in process had a kink as our code to unlock the door did not work at first, but it was resolved fairly quick by the management company. We also found that the grill was not working and only had heat from one side. The microwave did not work at all, so when our kids had left overs we reheated them on the stove top. These two issues resulted in more eating out than we had originally planned for in our budget. That being said, we had a wonderful time and were able to pivot plans as needed.

Nice and well appointed - but

Overall very nice, but some frustrations. No garage door opener, so had to get out of car and use keypad every time. No instructions on TV, provider, channels, speaker system. I don't think I ever got it right. But of TVs, stack of remotes, no directions. Same with ceiling fans. Never got them working. Pool is nice, but must pay extra - a lot extra - to heat it. Backyard fence has no smaller screen liner so small dogs will slip right through staves. Ours did, making the backyard minimally usable. No general cleaning supplies on site to wipe counters, clean up spills, etc.

Beachy Memorial Weekend

The neighborhood was very welcoming and clean. Easy check in. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, clean. The floor didn't seem real clean and there is an outlet in the raised bar in the kitchen that is loose. Pool was beautiful and great temperature. Very accommodating as there were 10 of us. We could have easily added 2 more. Beach access was a short 10 minute walk. Dogs enjoyed the neighborhood. Teenagers really enjoyed the bikes! We had a great vacation of family fun, play and relaxation! We will be back!

Great house!

The house was great! Great location walking distance to the beach and the pool was a great bonus to the house! We did have a few minor issues but nothing too major to ruin our vacation. The response was quick and easy! Great house! I would rent again!
