Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### BEach Happy This older home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood close to the oceanfront. The front porch was a perfect place to sit and enjoy morning coffee. The kitchen was stocked with all the essential gadgets and appliances. There was an abundance of seating in the living room. The beds were very comfortable and all sheets and towels were shrink wrapped to assure their cleanliness. There were some minor repairs that could be addressed as well as the vinyl flooring. ##### Jo Anne D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer D. Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Happy Lovely beds, very nice area, close to the shops n beach..Had a good time w friend and family..thought the place was a little run down..some bubbling on the floor in bathrooms that wasn't there the year before, last night found a Cockroach in the silverware drawer..that I didn't like, and the owners showed up, which I also didn't like and found very weird and awkward..the chairs on the porch are looking shabby..compared to the first time we stayed there.. beautiful place..Should get an exterminator in there before there is a total infestation..and tell the owners to stay home noone wants to meet them..what's the point in that..? It was so awkward the whole time they stood outside of the porch talking..Get an exterminator because no ones going to want to have roaches in the beach home they rent for 3thousand dollars a week. ##### Jennifer D.
