Well, first let me say - Lori is very responsive to your communications and needs during your stay - so do not hesitate to contact her if you need something managed. I will say that when I read the reviews last year, before renting this house and the one next door I didn't see all the reviews I'm seeing this year which seem quite neg. After staying there and reviewing recent reviews I will say the following. We had a large group 21 pp that shared two houses - we were 3 churches pooling our resources to make a local counseling conference more affordable for more pp to come. We succeeded in staying at these rentals - we could make our food on sight - the kitchen had all the utensils and bowls, and pans we needed - I don't always find that in houses we rent - it had both a perk pot and a keurig allowing for the various coffee/tea drinkers to do what they needed. these homes are aging and are used by weekly renters so things begin to happen, I do believe the owner knows about them and addressing them - further these houses are for sale. what I noticed I mentioned to the owner - for instance the cleaning service she uses didn't clean something I mentioned it and she said she would get right on it with them. I'm pretty confident the issue was resolved for the next renter - so when I say she's responsive just message her. your on the beach - house is clean - organized and we had our own school of dolphins all week - amazing.
The location was awesome! The dolphins gave us a show everyday! The house has a truly unique feel. The elevator was a help to get our stuff upstairs to all the floors. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our needs. The staircase ensured that we got our steps in everyday. The house needs some repairs but our host Lori is making them happen. Lori was extremely easy to contact and communicate with.
Good stay
Overall, our stay was great. The home is in a great location, the beach is beautiful, and it's an easy drive to most places in the area. The property is very spacious. Some issues we had: Various light switches in the house didn't work (especially in the two queen bedrooms / bathrooms), the outdoor shower wouldn't turn on, the railing on the back deck was breaking, and the speaker system didn't work. We noticed some ceiling damage above the entrance to the downstairs bedroom. It looked slightly patched, but still looked concerning We didn't contact the host about most of these issues (contacted her for the speakers, she said they didn't work) and instead chose to focus on having a good time in the house (which we did!). If these minor issues are fixed, this property would have blown us away. The location is perfect, the house is beautiful overall, and we really enjoyed our stay here. Also, the note in the listing to bring your own towels and sheets should be more visible. We didn't see that until the host reminded us a couple days before we arrived (we were very thankful for that so we could pack some! she also provided a link to a rental service which was nice). I've never stayed at a vacation home before that didn't provide sheets and towels so that was a bit of a surprise. Our fault for missing that in the listing, but still should be more visible so others are more prepared for that
The architecture was very unique. Reminded us of a Frank Loyd Wright design. Breathtaking view… see dolphins surfacing several times every day! The most exceptional aspect of the property is the view- I would strongly encourage whoever stays here to gets up for the sunrise! Side note: On the middle floor, I would suggest fixing the sliding doors - remove the hanging handle, Attach the loose tile in the second bedroom . Provide an instruction manual for basic appliances- : Gen-air, TV, Sauna master bedroom, jacuzzi, resetting WI-FI locations. Locations of thermostats. Overall- exceptional- view- beach- access to basic needs- wonderful neighborhood to take walks- ease of access.
The house is amazing and spacious. The view is breathtaking and Lori is very responsive. Would highly recommend and stay again!
This house is right on the Atlantic and we had the beach to ourselves A LOT. It was a very spacious home and definitely met all the needs of our family. The dramatic staircase is unforgettable. There was an ocean view from basically every room. VB Boardwalk was a mile away by car. We had a few technical and mechanical issues but the host was very responsive. If you’re ok with a lot of steps (or an elevator) this place was a great beach stay!
Great location and spacious house right on the ocean! The amount of space and uniqueness of the house was awesome for our family's desires. The house is in need of some TLC repairs/updates and just with any place you rent nothing is going to be perfect. Most importantly, you are at the beach and even when not on the beach you have awesome views of the beach from the house including watching the sun rise in the morning! We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
Was what we expected from the pictures and reviews we read. Could use renovations but everything that you need for being on the ocean is there. And Lori was easy to communicate with, even though we were a little noisy our last night…. Would def recommend
There are no less than 5 direct safety hazards with this property. I took extensive pictures of the property when I rented on 5/26/22.Also, very basic discrepancies from the pictures and listing details are prevalent. Safety Hazards:1. Most glaringly obvious: there are two exposed electrical wires in the living room (I took pictures). They are at floor level.DO NOT BRING CHILDREN TO THIS PROPERTY! Depending on the power coming out of them, they might kill a child or dog. This issue is compounded by the fact that one bedroom had no power at all. Lights didn’t work, fan, bathroom lights, all non-functional. Did someone do un-licensed electrical work? No way of telling.2. Deck railing has a loose column that a child can easily fit through, above a concrete patio below. Again, could easily KILL a toddler! I was told specifically that the deck was safe before the rental. 3. Detached railing on deck. Another fall hazard.4. Stairs to beach are totally unsafe and caution taped off.5. Drywall is coming down from the ceiling! It looks like it was taped or stapled back up? There was clearly severe water damage,and it was not repaired properly. Again, drywall could fall from 20 feet up and land on someone. We attempted not to walk under this area, but it is directly next to the front entrance. There is perhaps a 6 inch segment that had fallen at some point, but landed on a window sill. (I also checked the reviews and it has been at least 3 years since this major repair has gone unfixed)5b. The water damage is so bad that the casings to the ceiling lights are falling out of the drywall. One was totally missing. Several others are about to fall. We attempted to not walk under these lights. Misrepresentations:No doors to the master bedroom or bathroom.Installed microwave did not work.Refrigerator was taped together in at least 3 spots. There aren’t carpets in the bedrooms, furniture is different. No water in the hot tub, totally non-functional Water was coming through the side slider. Could not use patios, as tiles were loose, and there were wasp nests.No central air conditioning on main level. Can't get temp below 80. I could go on, but vrbo has a word limit, and won't allow me to post pictures.Finally, when I confronted the owner of this, she instantly charged me 250$ for bogus repairs. This seems like a scam. The owner will likely respond saying she will fix everything, then make no true repairs, like other reviewers stated.
house was prob nice 30 yrs ago. Was expecting a glamours house. House is literally falling apart. None of the sliding doors worked correctly, Hot tub inside and outside did not work. Jetted tubs do not work. Refrigerator falling apart and actually taped together. Microwave handle glued on and that didnt work either .No shower curtain in one of the bedrooms. no doors at all in the master bedroom Patios were not useable either because of wasps nest or they seemed so detartrated that it didnt seem safe. Piece of cardboard stapled to ceiling, Walk out deck to beach is not safe to use. The downstairs dorm room bathroom had streaks down all the walls. Pieces of the deck were lifting up and railings were loose . Literally had a piece of cement from the building fall down on the deck .Only thing this property had going for it was the view. I was completely embarrassed to invite my guests into this home.
