BeachFront~Updated~Outdoor Fireplace~Gulf Front Deck~Klaus House #1

Will definitely come back next year Owner was super nice and real helpful

Overall, our stay was great. Location was EVERYTHING! Of course, the pictures are a little outdated. Not everything is as nice as it seems. But we aren't bougie people. We didn't care. Beds were comfortable and it was nice to be able to just walk out onto the beach with 5 kids. Would deff come stay again.

House is in perfect spot but home is not kept. Pictures on VRBO are very old like when everything was new. Cushions to indoor/outdoor living room furniture is absolutely filthy, had to cover with blankets to even sit. Bar stools are rusted and not comfortable for an adult to sit in let alone small children, so NO where for them or an adult to sit and eat. Shower fixtures were cheap and are junk to take shower with. Outside stair railing broke and safe for no one. Needs some cleaning up of path to beach. My daughter stepped on thorn bushes that were over grown (thank goodness it wasn’t her 3 yr old). House really just needs a little money spent on new furnishings( new doors also , they were awful) and a few hours spent outside to make it somewhat relaxing. Would not recommend this place if you have small children or like a place that’s clean and relaxing.

We had a great time .the location was nice and the property was great we loved the access to the beach

The house was wonderful and we had an amazing time. Absolutely zero issues and it couldn’t have been better. Thank you so much!

Upon arrival, our AC unit was out. I called to have someone sent out and was told to just turn it off for at least an hour and turn it back on. We did that and nothing. It was 87 degrees in the condo. After MANY phone calls back and forth, the tech finally got sent out and the issue was resolved, however, it did not get below 80 degrees until after 10pm which made for miserable sleeping. Another issue is the showers in all 3 bathrooms. In 2 of the bathrooms you are not allowed to use the sprayers on the wall, only the two shower heads on the ceiling. In the 3rd bathroom, only the bottom four sprayers work. We also had extreme issues with cleanliness. There was leftover dried chunks of food left in the pots and pans and SEVERAL utensils and cooking items had leftover crusted food on them from previous tenants. There was trash left in the floor in 2 of the bathrooms upon arrival as well. Our AC went out again, 3 days later. It took SEVERAL calls to the company to get someone out to look at it.Tech said he couldn’t do anything. After several more calls, another tech was finally sent out at 8:30. At this point it was 88 degrees inside the condo. He did a temporary fix (his words) and it took hours to get below 80 degrees. Pictures provided are VERY outdated. I’ve machine doesn’t work. Freezer wouldn’t freeze popsicles. After all of this we were only given a $260 credit for the issues when we paid thousands to stay here.

Check in is at 4pm. We arrived at 4:45, cleaning person was still there. She left around 5pm. (She did apologize for running late.) The house was not clean. Food particles on the living room floor. (Appear to be sausages from a pizza.) Chewed up gum in the window seal. Hair left on the bathroom counter. Not just a few strands of hair. (Appear someone trimmed their hair) Downstairs bath wasn’t cleaned. Urine stains left on toilet seat and bowl. Showers were dirty. Dirty towels. Cushions on sofa (well patio sofa that is used for an indoor sofa) are horrible. Severely stained and worn out cushions. (Cushions are so worn, you sink down into the sofa.) We had to purchase beach towels to cover the cushions so we can sit down. Master bed sheets appear to not have been washed. (Dingy discoloration stain size of a body.) We had to wash the sheets before we laid down. Fuzzy sticks behind twin pull out bed in the living room. Water leaked from the ceiling by the glass door in the living room going to the patio due to the rain. I put a towel down to absorb the water. Washing machine is really loud when using. (Not a balancing issue. Just an old worn out unit) We had to remove hair from both washer and dryer. No screens on several windows or sliding door in the master bedroom. So you couldn’t enjoy the cool weather without bugs and mosquitoes getting in. The outside back patio could use some updating. Clearly it hasn’t been maintained in a while. Grass and weeds are grown out of control. Flower pot plants are dead. Bricks are uneven. Realjoy offered to send house cleaning personnel out to clean again on the second full day. That does no good since I clearly stated we had cleaned, washed sheets and towels already. This is the first and probably the last time I’ll book through Realjoy. Sad because the property is in a prime location with great potential. I was extremely disappointed in the cleaning and the overall maintenance.

Very clean and fun location...would highly recommend

Overall it was excellent. The only complaints would be that the living room furniture needs to be changed out because it's outdoor patio furniture. Replace it with leather. The showers were cool. But they will leak on to the floor through the door if not careful. The water pressure at the sink needs to be checked. The front door needs adjusted to close better. Having said all that... Overall it has been the best place we have stayed at without breaking the bank! The outdoor patio and grill were very useful. We grilled and ate outside often. Beautiful sunsets! Wonderful access to the beach! Location was very close to the grocery store and Pier Park. Overall 9/10! We loved the place and location!

Beautiful place!
