OCEANFRONT - 8BR, SLEEPS 20, BEACH ACCESS, HOT TUB

This place was a good fit as we were a family of 17 staying here. We had both sides of the house and plenty of space. Contact with the host was easy and they responded quickly.

Check-in was seamless. I had one question which was answered quickly. The large deck and walkway to the beach were great ! Plenty of pots and pans. Even in July, beach was not crowded. Only issues were dishwashers not cleaning well, which I will make owners aware of. The master suites are wonderful with lots of windows, great beach view, king bed, and sitting area! The Queen rooms are very small with no view.

Had everything we needed. Great location

The house needs work although they said they were working on it. The air did not work correctly on one side of main living space but I’m sure it is fixed by now. Could have been cleaner. There were places in the paneling that needed to be replaced and a hole in one wall as you come down from top floor. I’ve been in worse and been in a lot better. Spent most of the outside on decks. Excellent location!

We made the best of our stay at the beach. When ever we had concerns or questions, the owner was very prompt with repairs and/or assistance with household items. We have stayed in many different house/condo situations at Atlantic Beach. This house, was by far, the least well maintained. I could provide a litany of issues we encountered but lets just say that for the money charged, other places were much more appealing. Upgrades to the home were severly lacking. I think that this home could make it to the preferred status but with a healthy investment of time and money.

This was an amazing vacation, location, and property. Bob and Ms. Rebecca were very attentive in helping us with all our travel questions. With our large family we used both sides of the property and had more than ample room. Thank you for allowing us to share your home.

If you are looking for a vacation rental that is clean, comfortable and safe, with all of the advertised amenities working properly, this is NOT for you. Be warned! Do not be misled by the pictures posted on VRBO, those were taken many years ago when the units and furniture were in much better shape. In their current condition, these vacation rental units have many deferred maintenance and safety issues, and are not ready to welcome guests (we rented both sides of the duplex from August 27-September 3, 2022. There were problems with ALL the 3 bathrooms on one side (leaky, unusable shower in the Master’s bathroom, 2 toilets not flushing properly and one was backing up.) Moldy water stains on the ceilings of the living rooms on both sides that smelled musty, caused by previous and current leaky 2nd floor bathrooms. ALL bathroom tubs/shower pads were stained and mildew-y and gross. There was sitting water under BOTH kitchen sinks, we sprayed them for mold. The dishwasher on one side was out-of-order upon our check-in, we handwashed dishes and pots/pans all week. The living room chairs reeked of urine, we had to spray them with Odoban disinfectant and fabric freshener. There were (unsafe) broken dining room chairs and a bar stool, and rusty nails sticking out of a chair. All the HVAC returns were filthy and full of dust. When we moved chairs, table lamps, stepstools, center table, etc. we found dust, dirt, pet food, empty wrappers and a dead cockroach. Instead of enjoying a relaxing & carefree week of vacation with family members who came from Canada, CA, PA, VA, DE and NJ for this family reunion, a lot of time was spent communicating with the Host and his plumber regarding the multiple plumbing issues. (On a positive note, if you can call it that, the plumber came out twice during the week to fix the plumbing issues but we were unable to use the leaky Master’s shower all week as the seal applied needed 48 hours to dry and a toilet continued to back-up because it was an older toilet, according to the plumber.) I e-mailed the Host with an itemized list of the maintenance and safety problems we experienced during our stay, supported by photos showing the issues, and asked for a partial refund of our payment due to the maintenance and safety issued we had to deal with. He refused. (I can show the photos we took of this property to anyone interested). I won’t be surprised if he responded to this review and say it's unfair.

Wonderful, excellent, and amazing. Description for this rental was spot on. The rental is terrific and the location is fantastic. Our party consisted of 6 adults and 8 kids and it accommodated us perfectly. It had everything we needed and more; spacious and comfortable, linens and towels provided, laundry accessible (extremely convenient), hot tubs on both sides, private showers for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The private walk to the beach was nice and the deck was wonderful for relaxing afternoons and watching the sunsets at night. Bob was quick to respond and was very helpful with anything we needed. I definitely recommend this property to anybody looking for a great vacation. We will definitely book again!

Great house for our 3 generation family!

Our only suggestions are upgrade toilets to taller ones and upgrade plumbing. Upstairs toliets needed plunging often. Also upgrade grills to larger ones. Otherwise nice week
