The layout for Cruz is a bit unusual, but worked well. Being across from the boardwalk and near the community pool was very convenient.

The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was clean but needs updating. Kitchen pots and pans are worn and need to be replaced. I found it odd that the departure instructions included stripping sheets off all beds as well as hand washing and drying all dishes. I’ve never had either of those requests in all our years renting vacation homes. Also, the TV service was not extensive which meant we were unable to watch March Madness basketball games directly on the TV. It was nice to be so close to the beach which was not crowded. We enjoyed biking around the island. ##### Martha E. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha Ann W.

Cruz Del Sur met all our needs. It was so convenient being directly across from the boardwalk to the beach. The views to the beach and bay were great considering we weren't actually beach front. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend Cruz Del Sur. ##### Martha Ann W. ### 8/10 Good #### Whitney B. Jun 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family beach trip We loved this house! It was clean and very easy to get into! There were several small issues with the house. Doors not locking properly, shutters buzzing, chairs broken, etc. but overall we enjoyed our time. I think it’s just an older home and needs some light attention. No big issues that kept us from enjoying our trip! We will be back! :) ##### Whitney B.

Aug 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Review Overall it was great! The AC was out when we got there but they were able to fix it within a few hours. I was upset that they didn't give us a heads up and it did make our first night pretty hot but they did what they could to fix it quickly and brought us fans. It was clean but they didnt do a good job stocking the home with soap, trash bags, detergent, etc. The proximity to the beach and pool were awesome! Its about a 10 min drive to the restaurants. ##### Alex C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aprile N.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We shared this beach house with another family of 5\. The house was clean, updated, and had plenty of space for us to all spread out and have some privacy when we needed it. This home is in a great location on the island- literally next door to the state park. We rented a kayak and took it out for some exploring. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from your balcony, and the boardwalk across the road is fantastic beach access. It was great to have a full size washer and dryer, and the garage space under the home is so spacious. We were able to keep all our beach gear in there and eliminate a lot of sand from coming into the home. The hose and sprayer were an added bonus so we could spray ourselves and everything off. The house looked exactly like pictured on the website, and was even a little bigger than we expected. Pros: Management company is great, location was fantastic, house was well stocked, great amenities, nice updates to home. Cons: Only one bath towel provided per person, so we did lots of laundry. Pantry is very small, so we stored most food in a corner of the kitchen. There were two family reunions happening in two houses across from us that were beachfront. We are talking 7-8 cars parked at the homes and 30+ people at the beach. This made it very difficult to find beach space. We actually were not able to use the boardwalk across from the house since there was no room to set up at the beach. We ended up walking down to the access point across from the pool. The beachfront homes had renters who were very rude and would ask that you not set up canopies or umbrellas in front of their rental home. So, being a “back row” home renter made it difficult to find beach space to set up and play for the day. This is in NO way a problem with the beach company we rented from, but rather an issue with whoever is managing the beachfront homes in that neighborhood. They are not monitoring occupancy levels nor informing their renters that the bea ##### Aprile N.

Therefore, closet space was very limited. The other bedroom on the second floor had no drawer space. The drawer that was there during our last visit was not there. Bench removed from the end of the bed in the master bedroom. ##### Robert M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin F.

Right by the bike path, state park, and a really short walk right to the beach. Had views of both the gulf and bay. Weather didn't allow us to use the community pool but it looked quite nice and just a few doors down from the house. Jamie was great to work with and provided clear instructions for arrival and departure. Only feedback that we provided her already was related to cleanliness of the kitchen items, but want to note that rest of house was very clean and nicely appointed. ##### Susan S.
