Monarch

The house is very spacious and property management is friendly. We enjoyed having beach access at walking distance. However, a lot of things do not work throughout the house such as bathroom vent fans, door locks, clogged showers, pool lights, kitchen vent hood, some tvs. The pool water is very dirty and foggy. Overall, our family enjoyed our stay, but will likely not book this specific house again.

Outdoor kitchen and pool area

The outdoor space at this house was perfect for the 8 kids and 10 adults. The pool was much larger than expected and the outdoor kitchen made daily dinner prep a fun event. Very well stocked house. We've stayed at many vacation rentals and this was hands down the best stocked with every day items like dish soap, laundry detergent, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, TP, etc. The owner has a communication team that was always checking in via text to make sure everything was good. We had a great time and made many great memories this week.

Best House

This was by far the best house we’ve ever rented. The pictures captured the house beautifully. Our family of 15 could all be together or find our own space for a minute if needed. The pool and spa were perfect. I would rent this house again but know a few things going in. The house was clean however socks and feet were blackish on day one so it didn’t give great confidence on the floor. The kitchen had limited quality cooking supplies. Very scratched non stick frying pans, partially melted plastic utensils, 1 cutting board, etc. when cooking for a crowd it was a bit of a challenge. The pool table had four cue sticks but only one with a tip and no chalk. Chalk was requested and never delivered. The foozeball table had a whiffle ball. The beach is truly a block away but there is extremely limited public space. We had to set up by 6:30 - 7am to get a prime spot and if you weren’t there by 10 you likely couldn’t get a spot. The house was located in a great area and has a wonderful design. Other than the chalk for the pool table, we did have wonderful customer service when communicating with the management company.
