The house is a really good size for a big group, enjoyed the pool, the location is great, and the staff is very responsive if needed! Would definitely stay again!
The Fishbowl was the PERFECT stay for our entire family. The house was exactly how it was listed. The proximity to the beach could not have been better. The view from both decks was great. The heated pool was such a great addition for November. Would definitely book the Fishbowl again!
We absolutely loved the Fish Bowl! The location, decks, house were all great!! There were 6 adults and one child - plenty of room and space for all of us! We would definitely stay there again!
What you’d expect for a beach house rental. Great location and easy walk to beach. House interior is a little dated with paint peeling, old dishwasher and other smaller details but nothing that hindered our stay. Was odd that they did not supply any dish washer pods even though they want you to run the dish washer before you checkout and they don’t give you and extra trash bags or toilet paper so be sure to bring all that yourself.

The location of the property was fantastic, the heated pool was perfect.
The inside furnishings were on the grimey, rundown side. The closets were filled with stuff so they were not useable.
We had a great time, though
The location and property were amazing, along with management company. Hot water tank need to be replaced and pool heater has an error code and both were handled quickly and efficiently. The house was not clean when we got there. The dog hair from previous stay was every where and the pool area was not cleaned. We vacuumed the floors when we got there and the vacuum at least five times. There was also dried blood on bed sheets. But overall property was great.
Everything was perfect. The cleanliness of 4 stars was only due to the bird droppings around the pool area because the pigions have nests in the rafters. We had to wash off the patio area several times a day.

Fish Bowl Experience
The house had some cob webs, bathroom vents need cleaning bad. Dust on ceiling fans, no screened in porch as described. Nails are rising up on deck porch which is a toe getter. Patio furniture is weak up stairs and down stairs. Bath towels and wash clothes are the roughest I have ever seen and used. Beds slept good but are very very squeaky. Other than these issues the house has a good set up and is comfortable with a descent view of the ocean not being ocean front!
2 minute walk to the beach and 7 minutes to local restaurants. Plenty of space for a large family. Great swimming pool and plenty of parking. Very clean, so much so that there were no batteries in any of the remote controls for TVs throughout the entire house....or toilet paper and paper towels. Covid mustve got them. No propane in either tank for the grill. The charcoal grill was full of cigarette butts. Light switch has to be on to turn the dishwasher on. Just some peculiarities. Would love to go back knowing what I know now.
We loved the location and the pool. There were several things in the house that needed to be updated or replaced. The linens were terrible. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed being so close to the beach and having the covered patios.
