    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My concern was finding bats in the chimney that not only made constant noises, but with us having to come up with a work around to protect us from them entering via the fireplace. I put the guard flat up against the fireplace, then put a side table on the hearth to brace against the guard, then turned the couch around to brace against the side table. Moving the couch, made it more disruptive to conversations.The thing that concerned me the most was the lack of communication of advising us of the bats and that it was supposed to be taken care of. I fortunately know of the habits of bats and knew how to protect us.However, I feel that Wilgus and the owners put themselves at great risk of legal issues due to being aware of them and not either immediately removing them or at least close the fireplace off until the issue it taken care of. As for recommending the unit, I would the unit, but maybe not using Wilgus due to the error of communication. Concern would be 'what else would you be holding back'?thank you, Edna=Wynne Raley

    Wilgus was quick to fix a broken fridge and offer ice and coolers (we already had these). While the house was rustic it was in a great location and we did not have to fight anyone for a beach spot. There was a slight oil smell on the garage /pingpong/ 1family bed floor.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As mentioned in the contract, there is a strong smell in the lower level--to us the garage and ping-pong room smelled strongly of varnish, and the lower bedroom and bathroom had a strong chemical cleaner smell. Leaving the lower windows open helped somewhat, but we ended up avoiding use of those rooms. If you rent, I suggest you ask to see the report that indicates no danger with these smells. Positive aspects are secluded paths to beach not on the roads, beach cart one nice umbrella and many beach chairs and boogie boards. A personal peeve is that the house seems cluttered, for example with so many redundant kitchen items.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Though not the best looking property, we were impressed with the amenities, layout and the convenience of the house. Ample amount of puff spaces to enjoy, more than enough sleeping and gathering spaces. Kitchen was well equipped, the house was very worn out, sadly but it was a good stay overall.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful house, has everything needed for a great vacation. Could have been a little cleaner. The cleaning crew left a lot to be desired plus they took an hour and a half after our rental time started to finish. Love doing business with Wilgus.
