    Enjoy beach house. The neighborhood was very nice and not too far from the beaches. The layout of the house was very nice especially with one family room upstairs. We did have problems with the refrigerator in the one toilet called to have someone come out and look at it and they never got back to us. Also the kitchen pots need to be replaced difficult cooking on overall or very nice plenty of room for family of 14.

    Positives of visit were: 1) kitchen while disorganized had lots of pots and pans, dishes and utensils 2) the linen package was great 3) TVs & wifi were good 4) the house was acceptably cleanNegatives: 1) we stayed in this house in 2019 and it was tired and worn out then and our for 2024 stay it was REALLY tired and worn out! It needs a complete decorating update! 2) The living room sectional is terrible, old and uncomfortable 3) the porch cushions for some odd reason were stored in the living room 4) the bed pillows are old and need to be replaced

    This place was great. The online description matches the house perfectly. We had a full house with a wide range of ages and everybody was happy. Lots of activities close by - beach, pool, golf, casino, ice cream, mini golf, boating, etc. Great AC in the house (thank goodness because it was a hot week in July!) Unfortunately over the course of just one week, a repair person had to come three times. The first time was to unclog the shower drain because the water was not flowing down. The second was to fix the broken garage door. The third was to fix the dishwasher that was broken the entire duration of our stay. The dishwasher broke the week before we got there and the part they ordered to fix it took a while to ship. They couldn’t get a handyman out until the Friday before we checked out on Sat. It was kind of awkward to have the repair guy there for 3 hours on Friday, but understandable they wanted to fix it before the next family came. Also, the ice machine on the fridge didn’t work. Anyway, besides having to hand wash all dishes, I think these were pretty minor. We had an amazing time and memories that will last a lifetime.
