Good getaway

The house was nice and close enough to the beach to walk there. The neighborhood is beautiful and there are wonderful views of the ocean from both balconies. There was one room with no dresser or night stand and the closet was locked so I had a family member upset by that and there were some cosmetic things that could use fixing but overall the house was what we needed and made our trip great!

Great location - needs some updating

Fantastic location - close proximity to everything and nice neighborhood and beaches. Interior of the house was fairly updated with a few things broken here and there. Outdoor furniture was unusable and the two grills at the house were pathetic. Neither could be used and not the quality of the house. Old moldy furniture on all patios was disgusting.

Just okay property

The house is in a great location and nice neighborhood. The house desperately needs a paint job inside and out. You can tell it is a very used and rented house. There was a thick layer of dust on all light fixtures and dust and food under couch/beds. BBQ was super dirty and so gross I would not use it. Wood baseboards in bathroom need to be replaced. Shower curtain rusted and falling apart. Drapes in house coming off hooks. Ceiling in kitchen/ living room water damage and brown marks. Had to call maintenance to put pull out bed back together so would sit up straight. Pots and pans very scratched up. Other than all of that it was great.

We will come back.

It was a beautiful house that met our expectations as represented in the online description. The beachfront was clean and beautiful, as well. The Beachside Village community was welcoming and homey. We had some maintenance issues during our stay that were resolved fairly. We will be back.

House is great but rental company is not

This house is beautiful!! It is decorated very beach and fun. There are large gathering areas and lots of bedroom!! The house is a five star. Dealing with Ryson Realty who rents it isn’t good. We weren’t informed that the ice maker was broken when we arrived. It was fixed two days before we left - with no warning that the Workman was coming. We had issues with the cable and internet. It was reported to the office. No one every called back with an update and service finally came back on. As I said, this house is beautiful and expensive to rent. The rental agency doesn’t reflect their product!! We won’t stay at this house again because of our problems.

Beautiful House with some quirks `

First off all, this house was beautiful and only about 300 meters from the beach. The directions were spot on and the Ryson rental people were very nice. We had a package shipped and were affraid that it might be an issue. The woman behind the counter pulled the box out from under the desks as soon as I said my name, before we'd done anything. Made a good first impression. The downsides to this place were some of the quirks of rental places. They only give you one roll of toilet paper per bathroom no matter how long you stay. The same with the dish tablets for the dishwasher. That is kind of annoying when you spend so much on a vacation home. Some of the rules you don't even know about until you have already booked, like the fact that you have to clean the grill if you use it. Or that there is an extra fee if there is sand in the beach house. Isn't that what the cleaning fee is for? The house was in nice condition, with slightly worn slip covers. It would be nice if there was a listing of all the appliances that were at the house. We were without a blender for margaritas and bought one. Over all a very nice stay.

Nice property but...

Relatively new and nice property, but the one design flaw is that it has no pantry. Plenty of beds with good bedding and bathroom towels plus shampoo. We had issues with the smoke alarm going off every night we were there. The property manager did send someone out but he didn't know quite how to fix it since the alarm had gone off before he arrived. Sorry to list the negatives

House is gorgeous! However...

The house really is a beautiful home and made it easy for all 14 of us to spend Easter together! However, I feel like the owners should rent their home on their own and not through Ryson. Our stay started out wonderfully until the dishwasher wouldn't work and the handle on the toilet upstairs had to be jiggled or shaken to be flushed. So, we contacted Ryson. They were kind listened and said they would call back. I called again and Alex from Ryson mentioned the problem with the dishwasher has been ongoing. Ryson said, we'll send out some plumbers. Well my wonderful husband realized the water had been shut off so-we got the dishwasher working! Plumbers never came out that day. The next morning at 8:30 am the plumbers arrive. They didn't know what was wrong with dishwasher-saw absolutely nothing wrong. They both were going to leave! They had no clue about the toilet upstairs. They zoom upstairs for about 3 min and zoom out. Of course toilet was not fixed! Well on our last day turned on dishwasher and WOW a flood. It began to leak everywhere. Now we know why the water was turned off. We ran the garbage disposal because water was backing up into the sink and that didn't work either. Now my husband turned off the water. We called Alex again at Ryson... he listened to my concerns and mentioned after talking to the owner he would give me a call back... Well let's just say I'm still waiting to hear back from Ryson or Alex!!! It's too bad that the rental company has such a lack of communication. Not even sure if the owner knows what's really going on at his beautiful home. Won't be so beautiful when the mold starts to grow from a continual leaking dishwasher.

Beautiful Home, some issues with the interior though

This is a beautiful home, close to the beach, and in a quiet neighborhood. The property who rented us the home, Ryson Properties, didn't do such a great job helping us though. The toilets in two of the three restrooms were overflowing. We called the company to come fix them and they didn't come out until late in the evening. Our house guests had to use the port-o-potty that was at the next door construction. The house also has electrical problems in the kitchen. The oven doesn't bake properly and when we tried to run the dishwasher the breakers blew in the kitchen. Again, Ryson didn't do anything about this. We emailed them when we got back from vacation and they still haven't called or emailed us back. The house DOES sleep 15 people very comfortably, but if Ryson doesn't get the toilets fixed its not worth the money.

The house was very nice and liked by all 11 of my family.sta

I though I had done this review before. Anyway, I will repeat the concerns I felt you should be aware of. When we arrived, I found the ice maker was overflowing because the "bail" had come loose. Your repairman fixed it and since there was LOTS, we left it in the off position for the two days. So, I don't know if the problem is actually fixed, so it should be monitored. The furnace thermostats seemed to have a mind of their own! WE would set the temperature, observing the 2-degree rule, and later find that it changed. Maybe I had "help" from one of the family. ;) The morning of departure, the temp went up to 78 degrees by itself, so we had to turn it down a bit. When we left, I set them to the required 78 degrees. Given my experience with the thermostats, I didn't have much faith they would stay at 78 after we departed. Lastly, I noted that one of the carriage lights on the deck outside the master bedroom was seriously askew. We didn't use the light or the deck, so don't know if it was functional. We really enjoyed our two days in the home. So that I know this was received, please send me an acknowledging message.
