Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Our stay was relaxing and fun. Great walk to the beach and great views of the ocean. We have stayed at several houses over the years and this is far the best. All the agents we communicated with were very friendly and helpful.
Property was very clean and the pool and location were amazing. The kids had a blast on the volleyball court.
The AC didn't work on check in. Owners were amazing and got it fixed ASAP and had a repairman come out immediately.
Would definitely rent again!
This house was perfect for our multigenerational family of 15. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen large enough for several of us to work in. The open floor plan in the living space lent to visiting while the little kids played. We enjoyed all this property has to offer - the beach, the pool, the jacuzzi and the playroom.
The house is beautiful and clean, you can’t beat the views of and proximity to the ocean. Hot tub and pool were clean and a wonderful amenity. I loved the game room too. The owner scheduled a plumber to take a look at what ended up being a non issue which was a little annoying, but property management was very communicative which was helpful. Overall a great vacation.
The house is beautiful n we enjoyed the convenience of having beach front. Whoever stayed prior to us was not very good tenets. They left glass shards in the pool that two of our party got cuts on. Nothing serious though. Left us with hardly any room in the garbage cans till it was collected Tuesday morning. Left vaping crap under the beds on the lower level where all our kids had rooms. Must have not been a family vacation as ours was. The welcome pack was not left for us that was mentioned on the refrigerator instructions either. All this but I still have to give them a four star because the views and staff at surf and sound were wonderful.
