    The home is across the street from the beach. Short walk to sand. Great views from the balcony. Must be comfortable walking lots of stairs or use elevator.

    This house has the best location, steps away from the beach.The living areas were spacious and open to the sea air and the upper deck was perfect for relaxing.We didn’t give it 5 stars because the deck hadn’t been cleaned and there were rodent remains and bird droppings.And we never found a kettle for boiling water.

    We had a great time staying in this lovely home. With two bad hips, I really appreciated the useful elevator access to the multiple floors, especially for our luggage and groceries. The host was very responsive and respectful. We would love to stay again in the future.

    We booked 10 days in advance - owners were lovely. Arrived at 8pm on a Friday night to check-in. Their cleaners had failed to show up that day. They were shocked...said that in 17 years that had never happened. We had a bunch of tired kids & needed sleep. They offered to pay for a hotel - suggested Best Western...not the quality/price we paid for their place. We wound up negotiating a great rate at Seascape Resort for two rooms - they said they would pay for it. Cleaners were on the way & the place would be ready in the morning. After unloading stuff for 8 people, we were tired. We told the owners we didn't want to repack in the morning & move. Some of us were planning on only a 2 night stay; others 3. It would have meant getting up extra early to check out of our hotel, driving north to put things in the refrigerator, then heading south to the Aquarium that opened at 10. They were very argumentative about refunding our entire trip - concerned about lost revenue. At some point, I added that I had medical issues & needed to give myself an infusion on Friday night & simply wouldn't have the stamina given the short turn around. The wife said, So now your medical issues are our problem? NO. The place not being ready was the problem. 90 minutes on the phone with them & VRBO led to a full refund. The wife told me if I wrote a negative review, we will be right behind you. Mistakes/miscommunication happens so I wouldn't have written this except for her threating comment.

    Location great, communication with host excellent, extra towel fee odd,(packed our own in checked bag), kitchen dated but well equipped, beds comfortable. The master tub not working was a disappointment, our grand girls usually warm up in tub after playing in surf. Tub leaks at faucet, appears to have needed repairs for many months. Elevator was convenient for bags. We did not use grill, charcoal not gas. Parking ample , which is uncommon in beach communities. Overall, a fun place to stay.
