The property was beautiful and we loved the layout of the house. There was plenty of space for the family to spread out and not feel overwhelmed by 14 people staying together. Only downside was there was a lot of stairs that our parents were not fans of given their age and physical abilities.

We had a wonderful time! The house is spacious with plenty sleeping arrangements. The kids were never bored with the play room and pool. The only issue upon arrival was that the pool wasn’t cleaned so we had to get the net out and do a lot of it ourselves. We would definitely stay again!

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed the location, there were plenty of trash bags during our stay. The bedding was clean. However, the pool was extremely dirty upon arrival. Upstairs bathtub would not drain water. During our stay, one of the children’s matchbox cars rolled under the couch, we moved the couch to retrieve it and the area underneath the couch was extremely dirty, pet hair, dead bugs and such, we ended up leaving the toy car and just pushing the couch back. Floors needed cleaning. I also asked for early check in think I might get in 2-3 hours early since I’m one was at the property, however, I only was able to check in one hour early. Other than that, it was a pleasant time. Very convenient to beach and town.

Place was great, we only had 2 bad experiences the washing machine and dish washer didn’t work, besides that everything was good
Location to the beach was great! Need a golf cart though. Pool was excellent! Kitchen had everything we needed. Had an issue with the dryer but they took care of it. The two game consoles were weak but we didn’t play them anyway. One suggestion would be to clean the return air vents. We had a great time! Thanks!
This is our 2nd time to rent this property. The outside area is really nice--pool, plenty of seating, & picnic tables. Everyone enjoyed the arcade machines & play room.

This is a great place! Perfect for big families. Backyard and pool are spacious. Really awesome set up. Only thing that could be better is there pots and pans. They have everything. Just might want to bring own if need to make big portions. Theirs are pretty small.

Just okay
On Vrbo state check in at 4pm but we were unable to check in close to 5pm. Most of my family got there around 4pm and have to drive around until we were able to check in. Dryer was broken call twice but no one come out to fix the dryer as result we were unable to wash and dry out dirty and wet clothing.
