Gypsea Rose - Southern Shores, Oceanfront, Ocean View, Hot Tub, Pets OK, Flex Stays

I was very dissapointed in this property.

Horrible and moldy. Infested with bugs and ants. You will probably wake up with them crawling on you like we did. Rusty outdated appliances, even something as simple as ping pong paddles weren’t replaced. Broken and old. You can’t set down food or a drink without ants getting in it in a second. It’s literally infested with them. I notified them of the issues 30 minutes after getting there and didn’t hear anything back for 3 or 4 days and that’s only because I kept reaching out. Currently waiting from them to view my report and try to get at least partially reimbursed for this nightmare of a vacation home. Nothing good about it other than the location. DO NOT STAY HERE. We will be posting about our experience on every platform we can until we hear something back. Didn’t even feel like vacation coming home to this dump every day. So sad.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Though dated and with a small kitchen, Grysea Rose is exceedingly comfortable. The location is perfect- this is our third weekly rental. Off season, we prefer to open the windows: the dining room windows really need replacing, as they are hard to raise and sometimes lower on their own(!). We called about the microwave malfunctioning but this was not addressed. Unsure if we will rent again, there are houses that appear in better condition for the same$.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The lovely pictures posted do not reflect the poor condition of this home. Upon arrival, although the house was clean, we immediately noticed that the house smelled of mold and mildew and is not well maintained. The stove/oven quit working the first day. The gas grill was not an option because although it did light, the burners and deflectors were badly mangled and dirty. After a strong rainstorm, water was dripping from the ceiling in at least 4 of the rooms. The realtor salvaged our vacation by moving us to a different rental on the third day because the condition of this house was so bad.

The house desperately needs to be updated. It's difficult to discern if it was dirty or just dingy. The view is beautiful from the deck and kitchen table. We arrived to a broken ground floor window which felt super unsafe because there was no deadbolted door between that room and the house. There was also a broken glass candle holder and racial slur etched into the wood of the outdoor shower. The air conditioner shut off a few times. There isn't a recycling bin. The outside is in poor condition with overgrown bushes and trash on the property. I addressed the candle, broken window, and air conditioner with the rental company. The rental company didn't address the concerns except to throw out the candle holder so I didn't bother reporting the rest. Oh and it smells like a damp house.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures are a little deceiving. The location was PERFECT, the hot tub was clean & maintained. The house and amenities were comfortable enough, but maybe not worth the price tag. We wouldn't rent this place again. The kitchen needs updating - but the bathrooms .... wow, three of the four bathrooms were so dark and dank - all three are in major need of an overhaul. It was like taking a shower in a coffin.. and if you're a lady, trying to shave lady 's downright dangerous. We collectively decided to share the master bathroom between the 7 of us. Otherwise, this place was pretty unremarkable for the price tag. Nothing awful (except the bathrooms), nothing great (except the location).

Reviewer Comments: This is second time we stayed at this property -love the location and house is perfect for our family... love the seclusion and fun game room downstairs!! Our only concern was light in dining room does not turn off -do not remember that from last year-may want to check electric to it! Outdoor shower was great this year too !!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love being in an unpretentious, old style beach house. We 7( 4 children under 11) have enjoyed staying in Gypsea Rose for the past 4 years- this year for 2 weeks. The kitchen is not for a cook- limited space but doable. The owners have been good about updating some things each year. We love how accessible the beach is.

I love the unique layout of the house, it fit our needs perfectly. Getting to just walk out the door and the beach is right there was a huge plus. We loved sitting on the porch in the evenings having a drink to the sound of the waves rolling in. We did notice the sliding door handle was broken and we couldn’t find a measuring cup. The dryer also had some kind of residue inside and it did get on a piece of clothing but didn’t ruin anything else thankfully. Overall I would definitely stay again in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This old cottage is actually very comfy and we love the street. There were recent updates- new carpet in the living area, new firepit. I hope the windows in the dining room are next on the list.
