It was wonderful! The host was extremely communicative with the million questions we had. The property had everything you could need for a wonderful stay. The location is perfect for a family with children as all the amenities are a short walk away. The community the house sits in has all you need and is safe and friendly. Would love to stay again !

We stayed only for a long weekend and i wish we had all week to spend there. The owner met us and gave us all information about the property including parking tags and pool passes. She was very responsive to our questions. Property is absolutely beautiful and our unit was clean and very pleasant. We definitely felt at home. Highly recommend this rental.

This property was amazing and great for our family. The home was clean and well equipped. We had encountered issues with the internet and the tv during our stay and the owner took care of the issue immediately. The owner communicated greatly with us and made sure everything was up to our expectation upon arrival. The only thing I would like to have seen different were more bath towels and beach towels, especially for out of towners.

We do a family vacation every year. This year we all agreed on Ocean city. Thank God we made that decision because we all had the time of our life. The house was beautiful. The owner was beautiful. The location was beautiful. Everything was a few steps away. The Bay part of the beach was such a blessing for us parents because the water was nice and calm and very shallow. The kids got to go in and out of the water and be free. We walked to the frozen yogurt place almost every night. The amusement park was right down the road. Thank you so much Sima for a wonderful vacation. We will forever remember this one. ❤️

Upon arrival, the kitchen counter and table were dirty. The pillow sheets for the master bedroom did not fit. There were dirty rags, clothes, etc in the laundry room. The extra TV in the family room was disconnected and the door to the TV cabinet would not close because the magnet was gone. There was water on the floor of the closet containing the heating unit. The trundle bed (and bedroom) was covered with dust, and we had to clean it before using the bedroom. Our paperwork was not ready at the clubhouse to allow us to access the house and use the pool. There were broken blind slants in the family room and top bedroom. The rugs were a tripping hazard awaiting an accident. In fact, the kids tripped several times and just avoided being seriously hurt. The shower curtail in one of the bathrooms had a serious amount of mold on it, Overall, the condition of the house made for a very unacceptable experience.

We absolutely loved our stay at this townhouse!! The place was beautiful and clean and the location was great! So close for our kids to walk to the fountains and corner store. And ideally situated between the pools and small beach areas where our kids spent hours trying to catch minnows & crabs w/their nets. We LOVED that the place had bikes for us to ride! Also plenty of beach chairs, toys, boogie boards, an umbrella, beach cart, etc We did not use them all, but they also had clean sheets and towels available for use as well. We would definitely rent from her again!

This was our third year staying on Sunset Island. The community is perfect for our three small children.

We had a great visit at this property that sits a short walk from the ocean where it's not at all crowded, a very short walk to a pool and even a fountain the kids enjoyed playing in, and for our workout folks, a terrific offsite gym (there's also a free gym in the community) 200 yards away that allows you to pay for day, days or the week. The owner gave clear check-in procedures et al and was highly responsive. The layout is ideal-- two-car garage, washer/dryer. Bedroom on Floor 1, and bedrooms on Floors 3 and 4, and a big modern kitchen, living room, deck on Floor 2. Many nearby walking/running paths, too.

On the day we had arrived July 7, 2019, first when we went to pick up our pass for the car in the clubhouse, no one knew that we should rent the house, the owner never informed them to our information. When we went to the house and when we opened the doors everything started. The dirt nest was everywhere, the sofa was cover with stains, the chairs had covers, they were so dirty no one could sit on it. We found a rotten banana peel and a beer can on the balcony. The bedrooms had the same conditions, stains on the sheets, beds were damp. The property had to provide towels for 10 people, there was not enough for all of us. The floor was dirty, filthy damp carpet, table was dirty, and bathrooms also dirty, cobwebs on the light fixtures, ripped lamp shade. When we found all of this conditions in the rental house shortly after we walk in, I called the guess contact, which was list on the check in instructions sent from rental company. It’s said on the instructions if you have any question or concerts to contact them. When I called her I request can you come back and clean the house and we can resolve the problems we faced with the whole entire house. Her respond to me was that the house was clean and she clean the house for 3 hours,and she will not come back to resolve the problem. When I told her some of the problems, she said is not like that and she said will not argue with me and hung up the phone on me. Then I text her, and her respond was that she will no longer answer us, because we are very disrespectful. We sent a email that we informed that we are leaving the key from the property, and we are not staying there under these conditions. Due to this, we will continue to fight as necessary to recoup the money we spent on the rental. Don't stay there!!!
