Place is huge, lots of room and places to sleep, relax , and or hide.
Great location. Big place , a bit dirty here and there but overall a great place for a family vacation
We traveled w/14 family members. 6 kids. 1 adult w/mobility issues w/a walker. The house was huge. We had 6 vehicles & were able to fit in the spaces available w/o using the garage. Pros: the house was clean. Kitchen decently stocked. Nothing super impressive but we had everything we needed. The double ovens & 2 dishwashers were great. Workout room nice. 2 washers & dryers were handy. Pool table was nice but the wall mirror alongside of it made us nervous with the pool sticks/kids. Elevator worked well & made it accessible for someone with a walker. Plenty of bathrooms. Cons: I wouldn’t recommend for someone in a wheelchair since you have to step up into the kitchen. Water dispenser was turned off on the fridge because it would sometimes stick and water would spill everywhere. Icemaker on fridge didn’t work but there were ample other ice makers available. When we got there they were all clogged so we had to fix that. We didn’t use the outdoor kitchen much so can’t tell you how that was. A couple of chairs inside & out were broken. We reported it & sent pictures so hopefully they will fix them. Furniture was obviously well used but nothing horrible. Outside was another story. Lots of spider webs & the outside needed a good cleaning. Balconies need cleaning. The house needed a powerwashing & the pool needed some help as the kids claimed the surface was not in great shape & left residue on them. Hot tub good. No parking passes for the beach so not great beach access.
Great place to shelter in place with family during this pandemic! It had everything we needed!
This was a roomy comfortable home that we all enjoyed. It is in need of some TLC. While we were there, one of the AC did not work at all so a few rooms were unusable. The pool was nice but the pool area needs some landscaping and upkeep. There were 2 grills that did not work. Have to say Brindley Beach rentals was in it! They brought a new grill to the house. Very responsive to what needed to be fixed! A total pleasure to deal with!
Our family enjoyed our stay and will likely book again! Close to Duck downtown and businesses, easy to get to, very laid back! The house is well stocked, plenty of refrigerators, kitchen supplies, comfy bedrooms, and easy checkin process. I would recommend that some focus be made on the pool area to add updated outdoor furniture. All in all, we really enjoyed it. Thanks for letting us stay!
