Spectacular Views from this Oceanfront Home with Private Beach Access!

Other than beach access and location, this place was a major disappointment. We stay at lots of places on the coast often, including charming old places but this place is in serious need of maintenance.*several burnt out bulbs, including outdoors which is a safety concern*entire heavy metal fire place front crashed to the floor in the living room, broken from the brick - reported and no response*upstairs television never worked - reported and no response *no smart televisions *inadequate water pressure throughout home - perhaps a leak?We questioned the entire stability of the home, given the visible foundation issues and the obvious slanting Inadequate:*supply of dish soap - both to wash by hand and for machine - woefully inadequate for 6 person rental for three nights

We enjoyed our stay in this 100 year-old home. The view is exceptional with immediate beach access down a flight of stairs. The location in North Lincoln city gives ready access to grocery stores and restaurants as well as the outlet mall. The cupboards are fully stocked with dishes, glassware, pots, and pans and utensils.The challenge, of course, is that this is an older home with uneven floors, some dated appliances and lumpy mattresses. The end result, however, is a home for 4 to 6 people that provides very good value. This is our second day over the last two years.

If I were VRBO, I’d get this Meredith property off my webpage. It is FAR from how the photos display it and once I booked through VRBO, I was contacted by Meredith Properties who actually own or manages (mismanages) the property. Too many shortcomings to list. I think the only completely true statement in the description is the view—it’s great. Notice how there are few pictures of the interior… there’s a reason! No idea how any reputable company would ever admit that they are associated with the house without a BIG disclaimer helping the public know why they’ve chosen not to update the house in 50 years. Perhaps plan to wreck it soon and rebuild it so don’t want to put a nickel into it? Embarrassing.

This is the first bad experience we have had with a VRBO property. The issue was not with VRBO but with the property management agency. The second night of our stay, the lights kept going out and coming on while some flickered. The microwave had power but it wouldn't heat anything. The stove alarm would go off and the read out would say Bad Line. We called the property management agency and explained, but they just wrote it off as the storm that was coming in. We told them we did not feel safe, but they would not work with us on getting another property or a motel for the night. We called the VRBO emergency number and they said they would reimburse us for a night's stay. We found a nearby motel and got settled in after midnight. The next day we went back to the property after breakfast. Maintenance had been there, but the lights were still going out and flickering back on. We called them and they agreed to send send another maintenance supervisor. After showing him all that was going on he agreed that there was an internal electrical issue and assured us he would recommend a full refund. We had to go back to the motel and move to a room with two king beds and a shared bathroom. We will never use a Meredith Properties property again. They were uncooperative and unwilling to help us. We are thankful that we at least got a refund, but it made a wonderful vacation into a large hassle.

Great Location. House is a little rough but pleasant. Host was responsive and kind.

It would have been nice to have instructions for tv. That was frustrating. Maybe a few more products such as shampoo, etc. pretty bare minimums.But we made a run to store and got what we needed. We all enjoyed our stay and the property because I realized I was getting an older house and it was rustic and cozy.I wish checkouts weren’t so early!! Most are 11:00 am or 12:00 noon that I’ve stayed at. And a 3:00 pm checkin would be nice. But overall, we had a good time.Dishwasher and fridge could use some repair.

Rough shape but clean

Rating against price is 5 stars. The place is severely not level as in about 1.5 foot drop or more across the house. The place is a little run down. The place was clean and as advertised with great location and beach. So I got what I expected and paid for. Added bonus with unlevel floors you don’t even need that first glass of wine as you will have that tipsy feeling when you first walk in the door. Instant vacation feeling from the first step.

Everything was exactly like the pictures. The house was clean and the property manager was very responsive. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could ever need which was nice so we didn't have to eat out every meal.

The house slants substantially, so the floor is not level.

A house with character, no doubt.
