Nice house

House was very clean, location was perfect and easy to find. We enjoyed our visit very much. The property owner was very nervous about making sure we understood the rules and we had issues with getting into the house as the door lock was sticking. Once in everything was perfect. House was equipped with everything we needed!

So disappointing!

This stay was for my brothers memorial. We wanted our family to meet at the VRBO and go to the beach for the memorial. I asked the host if this was ok since she had a no gathering rule. She said it was ok. The day of, our family met at the house for less than 10 min before going to the beach. After the memorial, we got a text from the host accusing us of having a large gathering that she was not okay with. We pulled up prior messages to ensure we did in fact clear this with her. When we spoke to the host on the phone, we were made to feel we were being constantly being watched, even inside the house. This was disturbing and added stress to a very emotional day that we had been planning for months to honor our late brother. There was no hand soap in the bathrooms. We told the host and she said soap wasn’t included. The rule that towels needed to be washed AND DRIED prior to departure was absurd. We had to go buy hand soap and also bought towels so we didn’t worry about the towel rule. After reading the rules we felt uncomfortable eating or cooking in the house. We took our food to my sisters VRBO to cook and eat because their hosts were more accommodating. I paid almost $1000 more for an ocean view that we didn’t even get to enjoy. The house was not clean. We had ants in every room. I am so disappointed in the cleanliness of the house, the feeling of being consistently watched, and how it put a negative light on what was supposed to be a beautiful and special day.

Beauty by the Beach. Dream Home.

This property was one of the best vacation rentals I've ever seen. It had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms, comfortable living rooms upstairs and downstairs. Great deck we were able to watch the sunset every night. Sue was one of the best host I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She answered every question in a more then timely manner and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is a half a block from the beach and the resort next door has a nice little coffee shop with beautiful ocean views. I would stay here again with no problem.

Mostly Great

Pros: awesome location! Walking distance to the beach, and we enjoyed the ocean views while sitting on the deck. The house was clean, had a fully stocked kitchen, and very comfortably furnished. Plenty of space for 8 people to relax. Our boys very much enjoyed the foosball table downstairs and for the most part we all had a pretty good stay in this house. cons: first, the key entry was pretty difficult and we had a hard time getting it out of the lock, but eventually got it so not too big a deal. Keyless entry would be fantastic though. Second, all the “clean” and folded towels in the linen closet upstairs had globs of black hair on them. Kind of gives an uneasy feeling when showering. Lastly, while we always expect some cleanup when staying in vrbo’s, (starting dishwasher, linens/towels in wash, and general pickup of our time there) the expectation of dishes having to be put away before leaving and all the towels washed AND dried before leaving was really an added stress. With 8 people showering in the AM and an 11:00 checkout time (we actually had to be out even earlier due to our boys tournament schedule for that day) there was very little time to get the dishwasher ran completely to put away dishes and for a full wash cycle of towels and into the drier. It definitely made the end of our stay not so enjoyable especially when you pay a non refundable cleaning deposit. All in all, it’s a nice place to stay if you have the time for extra cleaning. Great location!

Everything you need for beach stay

Sue’s place has everything you need. The updated kitchen has all the things for cooking and baking, great separation of space for large groups, western facing deck for sunny days and it’s right across the street from easy access to a great beach. Definitely recommended for folks looking for a family/group get away.

Good house for a lovely stay

I’ve stayed at this house multiple times. This time was the first in 10 years or so. It’s definitely upgraded in that time. Beds were comfy, just wish there was a king bed option. Over half of our traveling party were on the large side and could of used a bigger bed for more comfort. Could use another couch/love seat upstairs. Loved the large dining room table. Was great for our large group and game nights. Having the deck was nice, but seemed a little wobbly. Didn’t spend much time out there. Loved that there was streaming options for tv watching. Some weird requests, like no tin foil in the oven. And to take our bottles and cans with us when we left. But overall a good place to stay. I would stay again.

Location was great- very closed to the beach and old town. Cleanliness was not to part. Very old cooking ware. They were ants in the kitchen and baby toys. The kitchen cabinets and floor upstairs are beautiful- however we won’t be renting this property again. Lots of opportunity for the price .

Nice stay at the beach

The house was exactly as advertised, plus it had very comfortable beds! There were some toys for our kids to play with, which was a nice, little bonus. I was worried that there would be a bit of traffic since the house is so close to the county beach park, but that was not the case at all and the road dead-ends right after the parking lot. There some activity to see of course, but it was a quiet neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

It has always been a dream of mine to have a place at near the ocean.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing and walking on the beach. I love to watch all the different weather patterns change the look and actions of the ocean. One of my favorite things to do is sit on the deck and talk to people as they pass by. Love, love,love to go to Old Town.
