    I’m sorry but I have to say it was overpriced for the things we found wrong with the home. Plugs that didn’t work, glass door wouldn’t shut completely, beds need updating, back gate heading to beach only opens from outside, not enough toilet paper, couldn’t find trash bags for trash can at pool. In other words, home needs a lot of TLC.

    At first glance all seemed like photos. Once walking through the door turned out to be smoke and mirrors. This home did have lots of updates but we’re not up to standard. Door knobs fell off curtain rods were all bent up and the furniture was just gross. Couches were filthy and worn out. Brown chair in den… pitiful. Beautiful soaker tub in master was unusable! Stopper was broken and hot water valve was messed up. Same with 3 rd floor shower. Valve was backwards which we figured out on day 3. Outdoor by the pool was neat. Again all worn out cushions on furniture and tables had bent legs and warped boards. Kitchen was furnished but at a bare minimum. Plenty of appliances but not much as far as cook wear. Two hand towels and two pot holders. I purchased and left a tea pitcher and baking sheet. Beds and bedding were nice. That was a huge plus. Tv and games were nice too! Pool was clean and a nice size! Lots and lots and lots of stairs!

    I booked this house for my work staff retreat. The house was exactly what was pictured. There was enough space for everyone. We the different areas we were able to meet in. The house was fully stocked for the initial start of our stay. The only thing we ran out of was garbage bags, There was a stale smell when we first walked into the house, but used a plug in and it was fine. The pool was a nice oasis. We loved the vibe of both outside patios. I'm really glad we booked this house.

    The property was beautiful! Very conveniently located. Not a far drive from most bars. Everything we needed was within a 5-15 minute drive at the most. Everything was exactly how it was in the listing. The check in screen was a plus because it had a lost of activities, restaurants, etc that we could look up and reviews to go along with. The check in screen also had a way to contact the property manager and send urgent requests. My friend group of 9 had more than enough space! We would definitely stay again. We actually enjoyed our trip so much that we extended an extra day! Thank you!
