Property manager is very strict on check in/out time which is ok but I was given a non working access code and it took 2 phone calls to get a correct one as cell service is very poor. House was clean enough several cobwebs nited in bedroooms. More disturbing was the upstairs bedroom lanais with ocean views did not have any furniture and the photos on the vrbo site show lovely furniture. Plus the windows were so filthy one could not see the ocean. The location made up for our inconveniences.. Tho when you are paying top dollar one does not expect to encounter the above.... ##### Stephanie L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Milind T. May 22, 2025 ##### Milind T.

The only thing we had an issue with was the barbeque... it didn't work at all. When I messaged the host about it she stated to switch out the propane tanks but they were both empty, not to mention the unit was very old and overflowing grease from the bottom that stained the concrete.A neighbor was kind enough to let us use their charcoal barbeque for our stay when she noticed how difficult of a time that we were having with ours. ##### Gwint F.
