The inside was clean and spacious. Walk way to beach on 77st is block and have to go on 78st for beach access. Outside need landscape and garage door was damaged previously before we arrived. They do have beach chairs. Good location for families especially with our infant. Only recommendation is the landscape for the front. They do have a gas grill we didn’t get yo use it because lots of restaurants within 10-15 min drive
Absolutely loved staying here! An amazing location too.
Great location! Loved our stay.
Won’t stay there again.
This property is in a great location! Very close to the beach (less than 5 minute walk), close to restaurants and activities. The property was very clean and had what we needed. The suggestions would be to put in a full length mirror and maybe upgrade the washer and dryer as they didn’t clean very well. Otherwise everything we needed was there including nice beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, boogie board and property manager was prompt in ordering a beach wagon when we noticed it was missing which was very kind. All kitchen dishes and utensils were plentiful!
It's a short walk to a lovely beach and you don't have to cross any big roads. It's a shame you can't just walk a few doors down to the beach path, but the homeowner at the end has blocked access. We didn't realize this when we rented, but the listing does mention it now. It's still a short walk, but we missed sunset a couple nights since 10 minute walk can make a difference when you're rushing. The property management company was very responsive when we let them know the only lamp in the bedroom was broken and the Keurig was missing. The only issue we had is that the dishwasher does not clean the dishes. I did report this once I got home, so hopefully it can be fixed or replaced. The dishes and utensils in the cabinets were noticeably dirty when we arrived. Since only one package of dishwasher detergent is provided, we waited a few days to run a load and discovered it did not clean the dishes at all. After that we hand washed everything. We don't really mind hand washing, but dirty dishes in the cabinets were pretty disgusting. We've rented many times from VRBO, and this was the first time automatic dish detergent was not provided (there was plenty of dish soap for hand washing). Maybe it's a Florida thing, but even if the dishwasher worked, enough detergent should be provided for the entire stay, since most people do not want to buy a big box for one week. Otherwise, some people will run it without detergent when they discover they are required to run it before check out. and they've already used the one packet provided. Not exactly hygienic.
Comfortable home, charmingly decorated in beach motif. The two different living spaces were a real plus. Beach access is not direct, but only a 5 minute walk via 77th or 79th street. Kala dropped off a beautiful blanket and hot cocoa for Christmas. Nice touch and much appreciated during the cold spell!
The location is the star of the show here - even with the neighbor blocking end of street access, the public access is imminently walkable and many times we could park right at access point from extra ease dropping kids and beach gear. House decor is adorable beach cottage. Unassuming from outside but layout is perfect. Two bedrooms. Two full baths. Two separate living areas meant my family of 6 fit perfectly. Big FULLY-FENCED in yard perfect for dog. Shy on linens. Zero beach gear. Nice kitchen but rudimentary cooking supplies. Eat out, rent or bring your own stuff in this regard. We stayed during Hurricane Ian and were mandatory evacuated 2 days into our vacation. We are locals so we had been watching the weather. Host was very kind to let us rebook our leftover days + additional cleaning fee.
Wonderful home. Great location. Clean and comfortable. Everything you could want to have a great time at the beach.
This house needs some attention to the structure, cement areas. It is decorated cute but I didn’t feel that everything was crisp and clean. Silverware was still dirty in the drawers. The kitchen was sorely lacking items to cook with. There was only one saucepan with one lid. At best, it was minimally supplied. There are no seasonings, not even salt & pepper. COVID?! There was no laundry soap so we purchased our own. This property is listed as pet friendly but our dog couldn’t go in the backyard as it was all broken shells. He hurt his paw right off the bat when we let him go out. I would suggest making this known in the description. We would have preferred a yard. On a positive note, the space was utilized well and we did feel we had adequate space. The property management company was extremely on top of all. The air conditioner control went completely out and someone was sent out within an hour to fix it. Thank goodness! As well, there was no propane when we were about to use the grill. I guess we should have checked that rather than assume it would be supplied prior to our arrival. The management saw that a propane tank was brought out after I mentioned it.
Great location, but know this street does not have beach access; however, it's still close. You have to go around the block to the next street over because the guy at the end of the street won't let you through his property to the beach. Overall, great place.
We had a wonderful time in this
