Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We felt the home was not cleaned properly. The floors had not been mopped in some time. The porch surface was in the need of a good pressure cleaning, obviously not done for years. Same with the structure of the porch. Outside windows have also not been cleaned in years.

There were 4 full bathrooms (including the annex location) but only one bathtub. We did have little ones and would have been convenient to have one more. Property management was very friendly and helpful.
Very nice house and perfect for our family's getaway weekend.

Reviewer Comments: We were a group of 18 and that felt like way too many people for the layout of this house. There is no powder room on the main level, the master bath is shared. Every noise in the kitchen and family room could be heard upstairs and in the basement. Unfortunately, this property needs some serious attention. Most of the bedrooms lack dressers or any extra furniture. The pull-out couch in the basement had a huge black stain on the mattress and we were unable to use it. The porch furniture was a mish mash of chairs. There were some very old wicker pieces that should have been tossed out long ago and the cushions were filthy. The decking and stairs have some algae on them and are slippery when wet. The exterior of the home needs a power wash and a coat of paint. The landscaping is very overgrown and full of weeds. There were broken sand chairs left behind. The kitchen sink was leaking, and the AC broke in the guest house. The staff in the office worked to get things repaired as quickly as possible but it appears that the sink issue is ongoing and has not been addressed by the owners. The office staff did do a good job of communicating with us to give us updates on repairs. The cleaning done by their service on move in day was barely acceptable. The floors still had sand on them, and the glass doors were covered with fingerprints and smudges. The beds were missing top sheets and pillowcases.We have stayed in one other home in Beachwalk that was also in need of repairs and updating and this is our third trip to the resort. Bottom line is that we love Beachwalk and its amenities but wish that management would hold the homeowners to a set of standards to ensure that properties they represent are clean and safe.

It is really showing wear. The porch was extremely dirty and wicker is literally falling apart as was the railing. The worse part was the laundry room. It had exposed insulation and the dryer had a ducted tape start button. My daughter pushed and it went through the back. She was shocked. We reported it and it was fixed. Very small washer and dryer for a family house for 18. The room itself was housing area for broken chairs and fans. There was mold in the basement bathrooms. We are not complainers and have been to Beachwalk 11 times. This was disappointing for the price. Next year we have rented a different house.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blue Star is in a great location but has seen better days. To start with the positives, it is so convenient to walk across the street to get to the beach. The family room/kitchen area is nice, spacious and has new furniture. Unfortunately, this is really all we have to say about the positive aspects. This house needs a fresh coat of paint and some landscaping. It’s old, peeling and overgrown with hedges. It’s embarrassing how bad it looks.We were so excited about the enclosed porch off the 1st floor master....until we stepped out onto it and saw the old, warped, moldy, ripped cushions on the furniture. Maintenance changed the light bulb for us out there and even remarked about how old it was. We didn’t sit out there one time. The 3rd floor deck is awesome too! Too bad there is no furniture up there to enjoy the view.The downstairs sleeps quite a few.....but there are no closets, dressers, night stands or luggage racks. Very bizarre and uncomfortable for a week of living.One last thing....the side of the house is strewn with garbage. An old grill, old patio umbrellas, old broken chairs. Honestly....this home owner just keeps collecting his rental fee and doesn’t feel the need to take care of this property. It’s disappointing to spend so much on a vacation and not be able to fully enjoy it. This was our 3rd time at Beachwalk......and while it was the most convenient location, it was definitely the least nice home. We did report some of these issues to the rental office and were told that they knew, the owner knew and they would email the owner. We never heard back.
