Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in While Susan was incredibly polite and responsive, the overall concept of renting through VRBO is for the owner to, for the most part, be invisible. We were stunned by a text saying that she would be waiting for us to arrive at her house for check in; the day of, we got a follow up text asking for our ETA. Then, the next day we got another text asking if everything was going ok. Again, this was polite, but not what we want on a vacation—we felt like we were being micromanaged. As for the property, it was underwhelming. The house definitely needs updating. There is a terrible smell permeating throughout the house. (I think it’s mothballs.) The beds were uncomfortable, the bathrooms were not clean, the towels are very old, and some of the dishes in the cupboards were dirty. There were also several spiders hanging in webs throughout the house. The outside deck, however, was nice and had several seating choices. Nevertheless, we ended up leaving a day early because we were so uncomfortable. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e2d4f37-47f0-4e65-918d-9fd78a2db436-1749751528006.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbccae83-044d-40cf-b295-3c25052913ed-1749751528012.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce735ed2-2c07-4e91-8606-dfeb83cb1a9d-1749751528055.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2326af9e-d356-43a3-814e-1f9043c84e3a-1749751528128.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kristie L. Sep 18, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Hidden lease requirement, unsafe stairs leading to beach, overall not good value for money The positives: The view from the back deck is stunning. It was nice sitting on the deck in the mornings and at sunset. I was happy that the property is dog friendly and that dogs are allowed on the beach 24/7\. The bed in the master bedroom is a king size and very comfortable. Despite this, there are quite a few negatives to make people aware of: The homeowner contacted me asked me to cancel my booking through VRBO and pay her directly for the rental (I refused to do this). Less than a week before my stay began she called again and told me I had to sign a separate lease even though I paid in full through VRBO and the booking was non-refundable. VRBO confirmed that they allow their renters to do this. This listing should clearly state that a separate lease will need to be signed - especially since the booking is non-refundable. The steps leading down to the beach are extremely unstable, narrow, and steep with railings placed too high to assist you in getting down the stairs. During our stay one of the steps completely gave way and thankfully no one was injured. The owner came the following day to put in a temporary fix and stated that new stairs would be built next summer but I recommend they put in new steps before renting this property to anyone else. The homeowners have not provided any beach items - there are no beach chairs, beach umbrellas, or even beach towels. There is a yellow kayak pictured which we thought we could use but there's a note on the refrigerator saying that it cannot be used. This is disappointing for a beachfront property to offer nothing for the beach. When we arrived at the check-in time of 4pm the property wasn't ready and it took an additional 30 min for the owners to finish cleaning and leave, so the linen fee and "professional cleaning fee" are egregious, especially since they also asked that we strip the beds and start a load of laundry for the towels upon leaving the property. The listing says it sleeps 8 people and this is not true, not just because there aren't enough beds for 8 people, but also because when signing the separate lease the owner said the maximum amount of people she allows on the property is 6\. The mattress in the downstairs bedroom is very uncomfortable. The above combined with old fixtures throughout the house and no real hospitality made this a disappointing stay and not value for money. ##### Kristie L.
