Renters Beware!
My husband and I have stayed at several very nice rentals in this area and this particular one is below the standards that anyone should have to accept. First, there is extreme beach erosion. There are very large sandbags in use and have been in use since 1985. The owner is stating that these sandbags were placed for the tropical storm but they were not. Google “The Riggins Sandbags” and you will see that this complex has had extreme erosion since it was built. If you plan on using the beach, you will only be able to use it for 2 hours a day at low tide. The rest of the time there is no beach as the waves rush up to the sand bags. Second, the unit needs a deep cleaning. Upon entering, there is a stong musty/mold smell. There are 2 dehumidifiers in the unit. The furniture covers have dirty spots/stains, there are water stains on the floor near the kitchen and soft spots in the floor. The dishwasher/stove have rust on them. Lastly, there are bugs in the unit. Both cockroaches and water bugs. We left the unit after seeing several bugs in the unit. I attempted to work towards a solution with the owner but she stated she would not discuss reimbursement. I am currently working with VRBO towards a solution. I read all of the reviews and there was one bad review for this unit. I thought it was a disgruntled renter, now I know her review was accurate. In this listing, there are not any sandbags in any photos despite the owner stating there is. Rent elsewhere!
