Vacation
After we booked this property we were very concerned with the negative reviews that were left. We were in contact with the owners previous to our stay and they were very responsive and helpful. The pool was clean, it is an older pool, so it does have some tile issues, but it was perfect for us and the kids loved it! The rock wall addition to the pool was a huge hit for our boys! The house was clean. If you’re looking for a luxurious home, this one is not for you! If you’re looking for a place where you can relax, kids can swim, and you can hang around the tiki bar during the day, this is for you! It’s great location to the beach and Sea Wall BLVD. The ferry is also close if you wanted to hop on. We were very grateful for this property. We all agreed we would book this home again!

DO NOT BOOK
If I could get a refund plus a cleaning fee for everything I did that would make me feel like I didn't have all my money stolen. Master bathroom toilet was broken and we had to fix it, the bathroom wasn't clean. Blood on walls of master bathroom. Mold growing on ceiling, shower walls, curtain, and windows, trash on floor. Master bathroom sink clogged and would take 15min to drain. Main bathroom tub drain clogged. Black particles would come out of drain when water was in tub. Drain time was 60-75min for tub. Hide a bed was completely broken. It couldn't even close. When we arrived it was half way closed and the cushions were on the floor beside it. The mattress had yellow and orange stains and there was a large red/brown stain on the cushion. Dishwasher and refrigerator were both in need or repairs. They worked, but TLC needed. Every time I would use the oven the fire alarm would go off when the door was opened because of all the burned food at the bottom. Cigarette butts all over in the back yard. The pool chemical shed had the door broken off laying in yard and the chemicals were falling out onto the ground. The eating/bar area could not be used. It was full of broken pool supplies, trash, and random items. All the vents, intake and out, were full of dust. Floors were all dirty around the rooms and corners. There was a sticky pad in the laundry room that had a decaying lizard and mouse on it. I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL OF THIS! My 6yr old has cystic fibrosis. It's a terminal lung disease. It's hard enough to keep her healthy, and breathing without difficulty, without having to deal with unsanitary conditions like this. I spent a day cleaning just so we could stay there comfortably. I left it cleaner then when we arrived.

Not the best value
The interior of the home was very good and layout was convenient. There was a problem with one door lock, the beds were average at best, and there was a moldy shower curtain in one bathroom. Not enough toilet paper and a constantly running master bath toilet. The backyard was terrible, with a standing bucket of water to breed mosquitoes, trash and debris scattered about and worst of all not one blade of grass for our dogs. Not really pet friendly.

Great property and location, terrible experience
We reserved the house for 9 and it was listed in the reservation, when we arrived there were only 8 towels, 20 pillows (w/ no cases) and no extra sheets or blankets. For as much as the cleaning fee is, the place was terrible, trash all around the backyard and pool area, dust from floor to ceiling, every fan was caked with dust, dead flies smacked on the walls and weird substances dripping down. There were car fresheners hanging throughout the house and even the trash truck worker said the last tenants said the same thing! Didn’t notice until the last day but the front door, one of the panes was broken out and there were still shards of glass sticking out of the door, this could have really injured out children! The pool was great to have, it needs to be replastered as it looks dirty all the time and no lights at the Tiki Bar work. Overall I would stay here again due to the location and amenities if it was more taken care of, definitely was not worth what we paid for to stay.
