This house was perfect for our large group! We had plenty of space to spread out comfortably, and our small dog was able to enjoy the stay too. The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything — shops, restaurants, and the beach where we celebrated our family wedding. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return for a longer visit next time!

Loved the location!

The location was great and we loved being able to have our dog with us! The house was close to the beach and restaurants. Each entrance/exit to the neighborhood had a traffic light, so it was very easy to get around. We didn't use much in the kitchen but it seemed well stocked. We especially loved the pool, and the yard had a few shady spots so our dog could be outside with us while we enjoyed the pool. We only had two people, but the house was roomy enough for a large group. The photos and listing do need a little updating.

When we first arrived at the property we couldn't even get in the property. When we got inside the house smelled dirty. Went to take a shower in the main bathroom and there was black mold in it. The fan and light didn't work in the bedroom with the 2 twin beds. The pool had green algae around the side of the steps. The furniture looked like the furniture my grandma had in her house. In the list

AC Broken: 88 degrees in house for 12 hours over night inside house. Difficult to communicate with Manager. Unable to plug in TV in first bedroom cord not long enough to reach outlet. Dish Washer Nasty smelled as though something died in it. Master Bedroom not as described no King Bed as posted in description. Don’t usually complain but after reaching out to manager via text and no response to 3 out of the 4 concerns prompted a response to this email requesting feedback. Ultimately, not satisfied with stay. Just Okay, I guess. More communication and a simple apology acknowledging the issues would have gone a long way. Needless to say we will choose another property next year for the Team Event.
