We had a great time with six families at this house. We had more than enough room! The beach was beautiful and within walking distance, however, the space allowed for all the vacation homes is not nearly large enough. Your best bet is to load up and head down the road to the state park which has plenty of room! Really the main concern we had was the poor drainage in all of the smaller showers. Other than that…the space was adequate, the description of the house was spot on and the location is perfect for a large group! ##### Becky B. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### kate r. Sep 5, 2021 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness #### Beach House My family enjoyed our time together at the Beach House, but it definitely could have been cleaner. We found candy wrappers under beds, the furniture was stained as where the carpets. Also, we killed a lot of cockroaches. There were 15 of us, so the size of the property was perfect. The proximity of the house to the beach was a quick walk, but if you are looking for a quiet location that wasn't it. Neighbors on both sides of us played very loud music until 3am several nights. ##### kate r. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hollie M. Jul 1, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Disappointed I am sure it is difficult to keep a property updated, in good shape, and clean when you are renting to 20 plus people. But, this house was more run down than we expected. When we arrived the pool was dirty and full of yellow algae. The skimmer baskets were not working and the water was cloudy during our stay, even after they serviced the pool. There was black mold on the ceiling in two of the bathrooms, along with noticeable water damage to the baseboards. The carpet in the bedroom I stayed had multiple, multiple stains. Needless to say, I did not feel good walking around in bare feet. Alot of the furniture was also noticeably beat up, worn, or stained. For the money we paid, I would not stay at this property again. Every shower I took on the second floor was cold, also by the way! ##### Hollie M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Venkat N. Jan 26, 2025 ##### Venkat N.

They enjoyed their room from the top floor outside to their individual rooms. It was only a couple blocks to the ocean so the golf carts were used. The kitchen was short on cookware so we bought what we needed. Three refrigerators were great. My room had a broken blind. There was also a broken bed in another room. I think they were trying to finish a remodeling project just before we came. The pool was great. All in all we had a wonderful time as a family there!! ##### Edith B.
