The home was in great condition, with the exterior freshly updated with a great outdoor shower. There’s also a large selection of bikes, boogie boards, tents and a cart to transport it all to the beach. Inside the home is beautiful, with 4 bedrooms on the second floor and another bedroom and bath on the third. All the furniture is very comfortable and in great shape. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need if you don’t feel like eating out. Communication with the management is great, quick replies and very helpful. We will definitely come back, even in the off season! ##### Jessica S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristin R. Aug 22, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Did not stay Upon arrival we noticed that the house was not very clean. Hairs in the bathroom, dirt on the floors, spiderwebs all over the porches. The house had a strange smell that was being covered up by air fresheners that were overwhelming. We decided to leave when we saw several cockroaches. We reached out to the owner and she said she just had the house sprayed for bugs the week before and she was actually there herself and inspected the house and it was clean. I guess our standards are just different. She refunded half of the money that we had paid which was extremely disappointing. We have stayed in several VRBO‘s and have never left one before. ##### Kristin R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheena K.
