We had to leave before our check out time. The cleaning crew came early the construction workers woke us up at 7:30 am told us we had 10 min to leave or we would be blocked in. We had 8 ppl there and a infant! We are all so angry. We were not told that we couldn’t park at the property till we got there There was horrible communication. VERY disappointing We will not book with VRBO again! Horrible experience! No one was accommodating at all I hate that I spent all that money to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary to have a horrible trip! Thanks a lot!
I loved this vacation! The house was wonderful! I am always a little concerned when houses are across the road from the beach because we have two grandmothers that travel with us and have mobility issues. However, this house was well within walking distance for everyone. The elevator was a big plus for us. Perfect!!
Very smooth process. Would recommend.
Location- excellent, can’t beat. Rooms/bathrooms- clean Id honestly stay here again but the price is ridiculous for what we received. Huge crack is kitchen floor. Hot tub barely heats. Beds—I literally slept on the floor one night because if was more comfortable than the rock I was sleeping on. The alarm to the pool didn’t work and took 1.5 days for someone to fix. We have kids…I wanted the alarm. Elevator doesn’t work. Tv doesn’t work. But the kicker….2 cockroaches. I called, they responded quickly. But as others have said, the “thanks for making us aware” is nice but not helpful. 48 hours until the bug man came out. For 14k for 6 days, I’d like to think it would be cockroach free.
I’m going to leave an honest review of our experience so you can decide if this property is for you. First, we did not receive the code for entry of the house. I had to call the management company (AMI) when we arrived. Not a great start. Upon entry, we discovered the water was turned off. Although I understand this is probably not a recurring issue with this house, this was unacceptable. The water was off for 24 hours before it was finally restored. AMI handled this issue as quickly as they could. When we arrived, the handle to the kitchen sink was completely broken off. I fixed it myself. The elevator was not working, so we had to haul every bin and bag we had up the stairs (and you’re talking, like, 20 foot levels). The pool was “working” but the lights as well as the waterfall jets were not. This needs to be fixed as the lights at night would be nice and probably a bit safer. The listing says the pool is serviced twice a week: not true. Not a single person came to service or clean the pool the entire time we were there and we had to contact the management company three times to get someone to come out and finally look at it. A tech came who had no clue how to fix it BUT they did leave the hose in the pool, blasting water for over four hours before we noticed it was overflowing and finally realizing the hose was running. NONE of the TVs worked when we got there. AMI said someone would come out. I figured out what was wrong myself before the tech came many days later. VERY unhappy about the $120+tax “damage fee” they charge. Apparently this is non-refundable. If AMI/VRBO charges every guest a damage fee before setting foot on the property, EVERYTHING should be in working order. What am I paying this for, exactly? Stay here at your own risk. There is a guestbook in the living room where everyone signs and tells a little about their stay. We are not the first to have issues here… Although the location of the property is unbeatable and many other aspects of this property are nice, this property has a long history of broken things. (This includes windows that were also still broken when we stayed there) We are not the exception when it comes to these issues. The good: The backyard pool area is nice and secluded with excellent landscaping. The rooftop deck has the best views of both the harbor and the ocean. The sunsets are great. All the patios are great. Having beach cruiser bikes in the garage was nice as well. Good luck!
We loved the rooftop deck. Had some issues with tvs. The outside tv not working, and hot tub was cold the last night. Overall the house was great.
Nice location steps from the beach. East to get to restaurants and shopping.
The location and views were excellent. The house itself has several issues and the kitchen is not stocked/equipped for anyone who wants to eat at the house. We enjoy cooking so we planned on eating in 4 nights and did so, but only after buying cookware and washing dishes excessively. The elevator stopped working day 2 and was inoperative the balance of our stay. The bottom drawer refrigerator was warm and proceeded to ruin 10ths of bacon and sausage. The range vent light/fan were inoperative. The dishwasher leaked (they did someone to fix), 2 windows were cracked and one window casing was about to fallout but was duct taped. They responded to all that they appreciated letting them know, but that’s the thing, I shouldn’t have to let them know about all of these issues, there should be someone to thoroughly inspect the property before each visitor. They literally had 3 bowls, 8 forks, no kitchen knives and very few utensils, no hot pads and not dish towels or rags. They did bring me a knife block, 2 jot pads and a couple of dish towels. When I told the person who brought them that I was disappointed in having to buy my own pots and pans and the lack of other basic kitchen items she told me that the rental company had ‘just’ taken over management in December and that they needed to do a full inventory of the house. Well, I know it is hard to find people to work and everyone is so busy, but it shouldn’t take 8 months to take an inventory. Maybe the owner of the property is just cheap and doesn’t want to reinvest into their property. I told my wife I could probably stock the place exceptionally well and fix all of the issues for one weeks worth of rent. I have rented many, 5 in the last year alone, and while none are perfect, this one rose to the occasion of providing this poor review. Now, again, the property management team was responsive to my texts, but in the end it doesn’t do much to only tell me that they appreciated letting them know. And while the furniture was sufficient, it is not as represented in the photos, they probably should update them for accuracy.
We loved our time at Coastal Horizons! The property and pool were just beautiful. Hanging out on the roof at sun rise and sun set was the best! From coffee to cocktails was our saying! The elevator was a lifesaver for some of us with bad backs and knees. There are a few things that need to be updated and repaired but for the most part, everything was in well-working order. We are so looking forward to coming back in a couple of years.
This was a first time visit to the island and chose this house to accommodate 6 adults and 4 children. The house is beautiful and was clean on arrival. Enough baths to share between families or individuals. The pool and patio are great. It has an updated bar area and TV to watch a movie or listen to music (this was a surprise and not on the photos or amenities when booked). The house is tall and has a lot of steps. You will need to utilize the elevator to take suitcases and other items to your room. We had to call maintenance to have a few things fixed. They were accommodating and fixed immediately. For families with children, be aware that you have to cross a road to get to the beach. It does get busy and cars tend to drive over the speed limit. If you are utilizing the pool and need to use the restroom you will have to go to the second floor. There is not a restroom on the ground floor. This house also comes with a concierge service to rent items for the week. You will need to utilize for chairs, umbrellas, baby gear, etc. It was easy to use. They deliver to the house and pick up. Overall it’s a great house and in a great location. It’s close enough to bridge street if you want to walk or you can take the free trolley service on the island. Have fun!
We had a great time. Location can’t be beat. So close to the beach and the bay. The roof top deck was awesome with water views all around. Great pool and hot tub and lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. There were minor things that needed fixing as vacation renters are hard on houses, but we would come back again. Lots of steps but the elevator was great for those not able to do steps.
Awesome!!!
