Jun 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house and close to beach Great house just as described. Convenient to beach. Lovely neighborhood. The only problem was that it was the day before we were to arrive, and the property manager hadn't contacted me about how to check in. I had to text her to get the details. I thought it said somewhere that I would get the details 2-3 days before arrival. I didn't feel comfortable having to contact her myself. However, I got the info, and we were able to check in. I would've preferred that she contacted us earlier though. ##### Theresa P. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gena T. Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Just OK - linens not well equipped. Location was good, and property was overall as described on the internet. While kitchen was equipped, there were not enough hand towels or washcloths in the house even for our small group of 3. Even when I made the management company aware of it, they did not deliver additional linens. There were no extra pillows or blankets either, which was disappointing. There was also damp laundry left in the washer (perhaps by the cleaning crew?) I discovered it when I needed to do a small load - and opened the washer to the soured wet bedspread... Not our best VRBO experience. ##### Gena T. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucinda W.

There were a lot of bugs, a trash bag on the porch, a lot of dust including a thick layer on the ceiling fans. I cleaned the one above the master bed so dust would not fall down on us while sleeping. I contacted the manager for the code and questions prior which were answered but after questions were not answered. ##### Holly M. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gennadii S.
