Great Family House

Our family (14 in all) of various age ranges stayed at this property, and overall it was a great experience. The house is lovely, the beds were comfortable, the pool was fun, and the location was fantastic. We really enjoyed the bikes, golf cart, beach chairs, and umbrella that came with the rental. The management company was also helpful and responsive to our concerns. One major issue we faced was with the hot tub. Having a hot tub was big on our wish list for vacation, and it took several days and multiple calls to the property manager to get the hot tub working adequately. Rommendations to the management company/owners are: 1. Have all waivers in one place, we signed many waivers throughout the process and it would have been nice to have something mostly encompassing. 2. It would be nice to be able to invite others in your trip to the online guest book.3. In the kitchen it would be great to have some Tupperware. 4. We understand the company can't provide all household goods, but a few more towels in the kitchen would have gone a long way. 5. One big issue we had was with the description of the king bed with the "bunk beds in the room", this is simple not true. There is a set of bunk beds in the upstairs hallway, with no privacy. We had planned to put our toddler in the mower bunk in a room with us, and this simply wouldnt work with it being open to the whole houses noise. 6. All beds need a blanket provided. Including the pull out sofa, there was not one.

Beautiful property. I’ve already shared with friends

Our stay was amazing. All 18 slept comfortably. The property was perfect for a lounging peaceful weekend. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool, bikes, or golf cart but having a closed in backyard and a short walk to the beach was great. We were able to walk less than 5 mins to the beach. There’s plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The house had everything we needed. Absolutely would book this place again.

Amazing Family House

We stayed here for our spring break trip and it was the perfect house! The bedrooms were set up so that families could stay and have privacy. The hot tub was a must have since the weather was cooler for our spring break and the pool heater made it so the kids were in the pool for the entire week! The backyard was such an oasis and super private! It was a dream kitchen filled with everything we could have possibly needed! We will definitely stay here again!

Nice

We had a very nice time. The rooms were nicely located. We put one family with baby and toddler upstairs and it was very quiet and nicely separated for early bedtimes. Couldn’t hear any noise from downstairs. Would have liked some basics like dish, dishwasher sand washer soap. The management was very responsive to needs. The refrigerator was leaking water on floor and they came within an hour to address the issue.

Great place

This house really has everything you need for a big group - great pool, big kitchen, extra porch space, comfy couches, easy walk to the beach. The second fridge is a lifesaver for drinks and snacks and we had so much fun playing games at the kitchen table. Lots of laughs and fun in this house!

This home is beautiful, but I would suggest that maybe the owner have a golf cart, or provide a discount for a golf cart since we had people with us that have disabilities. Water pressure needs to be looked into and also more dish towels should be provided.

NICE BUT NEEDS SOME TLC

To the owners of this lovely home I feel they should know as well as VRBO about the lack of cleaning and problem response we had while visiting Out of the Blue the week of July 11-17. When we arrived at 4:30 we could not check in, as was stated in the email I received check in was a 4:00. The was still being "CLEANED". We finally had the house around 5:00. Later that day I called about the bathroom on the first floor that would not flush and had a bowel movement in it. The air conditioning was not working well so I cleaned the air conditioner door that was loaded with dirt and my husband cleaned the actual furnace full of dust and dirt-not good for the unit at all. The TV in the upper bunkroom was not working, the backdoor handle was coming off and the liners in the bathrooms were disgusting and something like that is not that expensive to replace. I was told when I called on Sunday morning I was on a HIGH priority list for someone to come that day and fix these items. No one came and no one called. I called AGAIN Sunday evening and was told they were sorry and someone would be there ASAP. NO ONE again came. Called again on Monday and was given the same line that someone would be coming that day-AGAIN, no call and no one showed. Called AGAIN and got voicemail. Told them I was contacting Josh McLean. I sent him an email but heard nothing from him as well. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Finally on Tuesday someone showed and fixed everything. Ridiculous to have to wait this long considering the amount of money paid for this home. Your cleaning people for what they charge us do not do a very good job. Windows were dirty, smudges all over them. Trash on the side yard, empty beer and beverage boxes. If I was the owner of this very nice home I would be VERY concerned as to how this home was being neglected.

Beautiful home!

This home was gorgeous! High ceilings, plenty of room, a second prep kitchen, relaxing patios and a very fun pool! Our whole family enjoyed every inch of this house! Very conveniently located about a block and a half from the beach entrances. The bikes were a nice touch for our teens to take off and explore. Wish we were allowed to rent a golf cart. It would’ve helped with my mother not being able to walk to the beach well. Other than that our vacation was perfect!

Great place for a large family

We enjoyed staying at this location immensely. As advertised, the house was a 3 - 5 minute, easy walk to the beach. The kids enjoyed the pool and and the adults loved sitting under the porch right next to the pool. The kitchen and adjoining laundry room with kithchen appliances served our party of 16 well. We had a party of 16, with the grandparents hosting three families with a total of 8 grandchildren. So the 4 baths and bedroom situation worked great. There are 6 bunks so be sure to check that this arrangement will work for your family. All in all a great stay.

Great stay and great service with 5 star properties

We stayed for a week and had a great stay. The walk to the beach was a tiny bit further than I thought and there were some minor things with the house that were addressed so quickly by the property manager, they were so responsive and so fast to address any issues. Things that we called for, hot tub wouldn't get hot at first (pool service was sent to address), broken vacuum (new one brought to us in an hour), batteries dead in remote, grill propane tank ran out. All issues were so minor and addressed asap. House was very spacious, we had 3 families with a total of 7 kids. The house was stocked with games and surround sound speaker system. Pool and hot tub were amazing after we finished up at the beach each day.

Absolutley amazing house!!!!!

Amazing house!!!! Had a great time!! Will definitely come back!!! Couple things that would be helpful would be a line or hooks for pool towels by the pool. The grill was moldy on the bottom so couldnt use it. The window in the master bedroom shower didnt have much privacy with the house next door. Some type of curtain would be nice. Such a beautiful place. The kids had such a great time with the heated pool and hot tub.

very nice

overall, a great place to stay. very close to the beach. house was furnished with top of the line appliances and linens. The only negative was the pool alarm which couldn't be turned off, due to laws, but every time someone opened the door the alarm went off and it was very loud. woke the babies. I get it, but there needs to be an easier way. There was a button to push to go out but the it was too high for the kids to reach. Then, coming back inside , there was no button outside to push before going in, so the alarm went off a lot!!

What a beautiful home!

What a beautiful property and super attentive property management company! We enjoyed every square inch of the place! Being equipped with a pool alarm, gave us some peace of mind, being we had kids from 16 months to 16 yrs. with us. Such a valuable feature! The house was very clean and well maintained. Pool was professionally cleaned twice while we were there! The only thing I would suggest, is if you’re planning on cooking much (like us), be aware that although it is well stocked for serving/feeding a crowd, with plenty of dishware, cups & silverware & serving pieces (thank you very much), the cookware/bakeware supplies were a bit limited. Guest relations will be happy to get whatever you need, but I didn’t realize that til later in the week. I did ask for pot holders (which they delivered the very next day), but I didn’t realize I could request baking sheets, etc! Next time! I really can’t say enough about how wonderful the gang at Five Star Properties, along with the owners were. The dishwasher broke and needed a part ordered, so they sent someone from housekeeping over to do our dishes in the interim. The owner decided to actually replace the dishwasher, even tho it was covered under the warranty, so that we guests would not be without a dishwasher! We felt so well taken care of. It was wonderful!
