Family vacation

The stay was good. Only a few items need to be addressed. The stairs going up to the front door need to be braced or better supported. The shower temperature adjustment needs to be fixed the shower head upstairs has a leak squatting out onto the floor.

Vacay Fall 2022

Overall experience was great! The floors were not as clean as expected and there was some trash upstairs on one of the window sills. Also, the downstairs bathroom sink drain is draining super slow and there were towels left in the washer from another renter I guess. Otherwise, everything was just fine! Love this house and the room it gives us. It's a great place for families.

Fall 2021 Beach Trip

Our overall stay at the home was wonderful. I informed them of a couple of the bar stools that were shaky. It would also be appreciated if there were full rolls of toilet paper upon arrival. I know that paper goods are not provided, but it would be nice to have a roll of toilet paper there in each bathroom, especially after driving a long distance. Just my suggestion. Also, in one of the bedrooms upstairs, water leaked through the window when it rained.

Linens & Supplies

There was an "extra" fee for the linens, which was whatever, but the least that could have been done is put the linens on the beds for $140.00. There was nothing at this house, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags or even hand soap. Wish that was a little more spelt out. The house wasn't cleaned very well at all & has a horrible ant issue in the upstairs bedroom.

Spacious and Cute Cabin!

My family and I stayed here over the weekend and we really enjoyed the cabin. It's very spacious and has plenty of beds for sleeping. Most of the beds were a bit stiff, but some may prefer that. The kitchen has a good amount of counter space, but the kitchen wasn't as well equipped as we would have hoped. We really enjoyed our stay here and would come back again.

Great fam reunion beach house

Location was more secluded than the other beach house neighborhoods. Easy access to the beach. The linens were cleaned but they were old. Upstairs bathroom was cleaner than the downstairs. Kitchen was big enough for our whole family. Deck was fun to hang out and play. It was also clean.

Melody of the Sea

Loved the space in this house. We had a big group and there was plenty of room for everyone. Very close to beach and in an area that did not have lots of people. Comforters and mattress pads did not look like they had been washed. Fridge needed wiping down on the inside it had stuff on shelves from previous renters. The house was not nasty it just had a few things that could have been cleaner. I will definitely rent this house again.

Me encantó la casa todo muy bonito pero !!!

Nos encantó la casa solo hubieron unos detalles en la cocina no tenían toalla de papel bolsas para basura q se supone las tienen q dar no tenían una licuadora!! Y lo peor fue q salimos un poco rápido y olvide una flores q me regalaron x mi cumpleaños llame el mismo día para recogerlas y dijeron q no son responsables x cosas olvidadas olvide otras cosas q según ellos los tiran a la basura creo q hacen mal xq deberían de guardar cosas mas si son importantes si hubiera olvidado un anillo de oro no lo van a tirar a la basura o si ? Tal ves piensan q las flores no son importantes pero para mi si lo eran debieron esperar x lo menos ese día de la salida x si las quería recoger y las otras cosas q dejamos en la casa eso los haría mejores anfitriones x eso solo les doy 3 x no q no fueron amables al decir q no son responsables deberían de tener un lugar para guardar cosas x si las pueden recoger en unos días yo iba x mis flores y las otras el mismo día y ya según lo había tirado y eso no creo q lo hayan hecho eso lo deberían de hacer xq uno paga mucho dinero x 3 días de renta deberían de ser considerados un poco
