Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: OK starting with the pros: the hardwood floors throughout were beautiful. This house is a short walk to the entrance of the pier. The living room doors are huge and open to a deck with 4 rocking chairs and two small tables. We were able to fit four cars under the house and there's a public access right next door; if guests need to move to allow others to leave it is convenient. The living room has plenty of seating with two couches, could maybe use one or two additional chairs. Loved the fact that each of the main bedrooms had their own bathroom. The little Garden City amenity kits were a nice touch, and the laundry machines and dryer were efficient.Some of the cons: The layout is such though that only one couple will get the grand view of the ocean, the other two bedrooms are pretty tucked away and then the bunk rooms face the road. There were no coat hangers in the primary bedroom closet. You have to make your own bed on arrival – they bag up all the towel sets and all the sheets sets up in plastic and it's kind of a surprise whether or not you get a fresh smelling set of sheets...I had to open various sets from other unoccupied beds before finding some that didn't smell like too badly like old linen that’s been sitting in a closet. Neither the top primary bedroom that faces the ocean nor the living room has curtains so during certain hours of the day the sun just sears inside and there's nowhere to hide- it is BRIGHT. Also sadly, I primarily rented this house because I saw the amazing table with so much seating. We rented over Thanksgiving so we're planning a full-on cooking event for at least a few of the days. The kitchen was laughably stocked – better suited for a frat boy party than a family vacay. No cutting board, only a couple of dull knives, about 10 small pots and no big ones. No frying pan. No roasting pans, no serving bowls. The kitchen had around 100 plates (why?) but barely any cooking implements you would need for a family

The location can’t be beat. Unfortunately, that doesn’t out way the negatives we encountered during our stay. The house has very few “extra’s”. The one and only knife was too dull to peel an apple. The pans are either unusable or too small to be useful. There were palmetto bugs and most likely roaches found throughout the house during our stay. That may be normal for a beach house I don’t know. The smoke alarm went off one afternoon. I called maintenance they came out and fixed it( per the tag they left). The alarm went off again that night at 2:00 am, not fixed. The outdoor garbage was overflowing and covered with ants and fly’s when we arrived. It was not picked up during our stay and had quite the odor by the time we left, 5 days later. The vents appeared to have mold in them. The patio door also appears to have mold along the tracks. The door is difficult to open/shut and should be replaced. We did appreciate the professionally cleaned and packaged bedding and the kits of soap, shampoo, etc. in each bathroom.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived, I noticed the flour was disgusting, no welcome packet as the site stated. The sliding door is broken. Kitchen chairs And rocking chairs broken. The shrubs scratched our cars. There is black mold coming from all the air vents. The worst part is it was totally infested with roaches!!! Don’t stay here. When I told them of all this, the lady didn’t offer any compensation and just sent over maintenance to remove a chair and bring a dustpan. One good thing is it’s right in the beach.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house needs to be remodeled. The beds are shot. The couches are shot. The floors are warped. The toilet in the green bedroom ran several times a night and was stained. I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay in that place.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family stayed at Against the Wind B for a week. It is the perfect spot- it is with in walking distance of everything. We enjoyed swimming, surfing and playing on the beach with the grandkids. The pier is next door and we spent lots of time there fishing and enjoying the live bands. The house was perfect except for the pull out couches- I wouldn’t recommend that you use them - the mattresses on the couches were sandy and stained.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed in both sides of this house several times and will definitely rent again, BUT.....this year several basic maintenance issues caused some frustration that can easily be fixed. 1. The kitchen is no longer well stocked with basic supplies. 2. The internet was randomly intermittent in maintaining a connection. 3. The sink drains were slow. 4. The sliding door did not open/close smoothly. 5. The vegetation is taking over the driveway which makes getting in/ out of vehicles difficult along with loading/unloading our luggage. Theses are all simple fixes, and overall did not diminish all the wonderfulness of the house layout, price, and location. We will definitely be back!!
