Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### The property was not maintained inside or out. We stayed 5 days celebrating Christmas with family. I liked the set up of the kitchen because several of us would be preparing meals. Both ovens smoked when you cooked something in them. The sheet pans were so old. We had one thin mitt for the oven. The pictures of the property online look beautiful however the inside is old and run down. The family room was old and the furniture was dirty looking. Two door knobs fell off when we tried to open them. My daughter sat down on a chair with her 8 month old and the arm of the chair fell off. It is on the beach so that was nice. Way too much money to spend for the condition of the house. ##### lee H. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Suzanne C. Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Overpriced for the condition of the home Location is good. Size of the house was good. A/C worked well except for one bedroom that was warm. Backyard is fenced in, I assume for owners dog as there was dog feces all over the lawn, or rather dirt, no grass only weeds and dirt. Backyard and patio were filthy, furniture was filthy, I took pictures as I was in disbelief that someone would rent a home in that condition. The fenced in backyard made it very confusing as to how to access the beach. One gate was padlocked and the other appeared to go in neighbors back yard. I had to call management company to find out how we accessed the beach. All in all we enjoyed our family time but I would not rent this house again, the back of the house was disgusting. Needs to be cleaned ##### Suzanne C.
