Summer Place

This house was very cute and in a great location. It was clean and kitchen had enough supplies to cook meals. It was great for our family of four.

Location is great, however; there were many issues associated with the house. Some of these issues include a portion of the walkway to the beach that is in desperate need of repair. Nail heads sticking out of the boards, (which I raked my foot on one) and walkway posts with rusted screws sticking out of the top. In the house, the main bathroom tub does not drain. We called the management company, which was very helpful and came out and took many pictures, and they fixed it once. However, the issues resurfaced a day later. Some of the blinds were missing slats, there was a "repaired" hole in one of the walls in the master bedroom, none of the ceiling fan remotes worked properly or at all, mold or accumulated dust visible on the ceilings vents, towel bar in the master bathroom about to fall off, we had to have the light above the stove replaced, and numerous areas where the walls need repair due to apparent water issues. These issues may sound petty, however; when one pays a significant amount more for this house than one rented last year (one block down and one block off the beach which was awesome), the extra price you pay for for house with many defects, some health related, is not worth it. Lastly, the table in the living area is huge. Very cumbersome.

Quick extended weekend stay. Good location, right on the beach, great communication with property manager! Was traveling abroad leading up to the stay with limited access - property manager provided white glove service to get us in and set up!

Only disappointed part of the trip there was no direct access to the beach, you had to walk to the public access area.

House is right on the beach and would be great if you are going to be outside at the beach all day and just inside for showers/sleeping. The bedroom our daughter and friend stayed in had bugs - some were inside the pillowcase/pillow and she was bitten several times. We discovered this on our 2nd/last night so reported it in the morning to the rental property manager. There were also “Stop Work Order” signs posted and orders to stop construction due to not obtaining a work permit. The staircase up was missing rails on the bottom left side. I asked the manager for a discount and they said no-that they would make a note on my account for next time I rent through them. I don’t use VRBO to rent through a property management company specifically - I rent for the specific location/property, so this is not particularly helpful. One very small towel is provided per person and no dishwasher pod or even an extra trash bag is provided. The home has been renovated and looks nice on the surface, however the renovation was done with cheap materials - laminate flooring, missing hardware on drawers in the kitchen, hollow doors etc. Again, it is in a nice beachfront location, but I cannot wait to get home to take a hot shower and lather up our kiddo in itch relief cream.
