Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: Before we made our choice we read a review that said it was like going home to grandma's. So we thought that was fine. We weren't looking for luxury, but this place was awful! Our first morning a mouse ran across the living room. The kitchen cabinets had dead roaches and mice droppings. The downstairs rooms weren't even connected inside the house,you could only get to them from the outside! The whole place smelled really strongly from pesticide. Panelling in the living room was falling apart under the window and is probably where the mice and bugs were coming in. Outside, there were various wires and cables just laying around. I actually tripped over them the 2nd day there scraping my knee quite badly. All in all very disappointing and will ever rent from your company again. We have photos of everything, just to prove our disappointment.
The location is great which I know is what we paid for, but the house is not great. Could not get from downstairs to upstairs without going outside which made us change sleeping arrangements and the downstairs group feel excluded. Couch was dirty and just slick on edges, only one TV upstairs. I know it said older, but was overpriced. Needs to at least put TV downstairs.
We had a wonderful time! So close to the beach
Water didn’t work on arrival. Washer and dryer were not available because of damage to garage door. Roof had damage and rain water started to leak in the home during rain.
The downstairs area has mice that get on top of the bed, also in your bags when you're not looking. This was not what we were expecting, We had to get another place.

This house is exactly as they say, an older house that is kept up and taken care of. It is RIGHT ON THE BEACH though the access has some brambles so walk carefully with flip-flops. There was nothing we really lacked having there and it was comfortable. Could it use updating? Sure, but we were told what to expect by the managers prior to booking so no surprises were had. I would absolutely rent again for a relaxing trip with the kids.
We stayed here for 2 reasons. The walkable direct access to the beach and a home we could all be in directly together. Horrible experience. Would never stay there again especially for the price during off season. The bottom section shouldn't even be available to rent. No clear walkway to the beach from the back deck. Stairs were blocked off due to high plants. Grass was so high you couldn't walk to beach. Stickers all along path to access beach. Old rusted chairs , two broke after my elderly mother and cousin sat on it. Such a hazardous and dangerous situation. Gladly nobody was hurt. Downstairs was disgusting. Whole section reaked of mold. AC vent was only in hall way , no circulation or vents in either rooms. Room closest to back porch was so hot. Thankfully it was a breezy and cool weekend. Portable fans were in room but didn't work only one that was small. Restroom was gross. Black gunk on baseboards. Shower rods rusted. Black markings all along shower. Bed in one of the rooms was lopsided. The top and bottom sections are separated, not together. You have to walk outside and up the stairs to gain access to upstairs section. Had I known this we would've just stayed in 2/3 separate condos or hotel rooms. Top section was nice , could've used a few touch ups but was the best section of the whole place. If it hadn't been for the top section being nice we probably would've left. Fridge didn't get cold at all. They did have pots pans and silverware for us to cook with. TV upstairs worked. Not sure about downstairs, couldn't get it too work. Washer nor dryer worked properly. We had to ring out clothes because they were soaked. Had to dry clothes about 3 times. Unannounced maintenance man came in during our stay to changed our AC filters The vents and filters were so filthy , after he changed it looked like it had been there for months. Not sure exactly what caused this but after leaving and returning home , multiple family members found bites on them possibly from bed bugs , either from upstairs couch or beds. Horrible experience if it hadn't been for the top section and it taking us 6 hours driving to get there would've just left.
Quiet and more secluded than other places, clean and well stocked. Looking forward to staying again!
