Property was great. The process of renting from Access Realty was Quite the experience. I’ve been using rental companies for 30+ years. With all the communications and required documents and documents and signing and signing and so on I felt like they were treating the rental as if I was buying it. Maybe they are new or maybe they have been burned in the past with other renters, but it was really bad. I can assure you if I see Access is handling another property that I am looking to rent, I will hesitate to rent that property. The rental home itself was very good. Very clean, and great location. Would love to say I would rent again, but not with Access Realty.

Lacking Basic Amenities
While the listing is fairly clear, things like linens are not included in your rental, it felt like this property was lacking a lot of basic needs that normally are included in the rental cost. Things not included or an additional charge were: linens and towels, paper products (toilet paper, paper towels) garbage bags, dishwashing soap, laundry soap, hand soap etc. The property also makes you sign a grill waiver but charges extra to rent the grill. Overall the location and house were amazing but I did not like all the hidden costs after renting especially for things that felt should have been included.

Great no frills beach cottage.
Would definitely stay again. It’s location on the island is close to everything you need. Perfect views from your porch right on the beach. Only knock is if your planning on doing computer work the WiFi isn’t the best. Other than that it was a great stay.

The house was older, one story, beachfront that we wanted. Our issues were: The refrigerator ice maker never worked. (Bought ice for a week). The fridge water dispenser did not work. The interior of the fridge had a strong raw-fish odor that permeated fresh foods placed inside. The kueric coffee maker would not brew coffee. We bought white vinegar and cleaned it 3 times to no avail so I had bourbon and coke with breakfast. (No joke!). Overall…a 5 out of 10.

This property is old but well maintained. It was just me, my husband, and our dog, and it worked well for us. It's very close to the water and has a covered porch that is well shaded in the afternoon, and we enjoyed sitting out there, watching for dolphins (saw two!) and reading. The rental company, Access Realty, was easy to work with. And one thing I appreciated was that the sheets for our beds that we got from them were soft cotton, not thin and scratchy like we've gotten from some other places. All in all, a very good stay!

Perfect Fall Week
We enjoyed our stay, weather was perfect. As always the location of the house on the beach is awesome. I will say, if you are a cook or intend to eat at the house, the kitchen is not the best. Pots and pans not ideal for those cooking.
