Experience
The property was okay. Some of the rooms weren’t clean and when i messaged the property manager it took her forever to respond back. The place was fairly close to the beach which was nice but the mosquitoes were terrible even with bug spray😭
First impression was great. House seemed clean and taken care of. Within minutes we found what appeared to be blood on a comforter, shower knob in spare bath didn’t work, fan in spare bath didn’t work. Next morning of our stay we went to make breakfast and found very little pans to work with. The ones we did find were filthy. There was one skillet in the entire kitchen and it looked like it had been outside for months. 3rd day we came back to the house to find a couple of roaches which is clearly a problem because there was a can of bug spray in the laundry room. I reached out to Jessica about the shower and vent and was told that someone would come fix it the next day, no one ever came. Bunk room had no ceiling fan but there were 2 box fans for use but again, covered in dirt and dust. All in all, we would not recommend this home. They are trying to sell so I feel that maintenance and condition of the home aren’t a priority at this time. We stayed to celebrate my in laws 50 year wedding anniversary and the stay left so much to be desired and we felt embarrassed that we picked such a place to take them.
The house was beautifully decorated and clean. Floor plan is great. Perfect location and easy access to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much. Beach was super clean. Loved it all.
The room with bunk beds didn’t cool off as much as the rest of the house (hot at night) and the kitchen sink dripped. Other than that it was great!!! Will definitely be going back!!
Family and furry pups had a great time! The fenced yard made life easier. I did feel like with booking 11 people that there would be more than 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom. But it was a great time and the grandkids love it!
This is a wonderful place to stay! Tons of amenities and a fully stocked kitchen. Our favorite thing was the fence for our dogs. Loved the super close beach access too!

These beds were absolutely disgusting. Pee stains and half of us are covered in bed bug bites. One room didnt have A/c the whole time
It was worth the money. Wish i could buy the place!

Vacation Stay
It was fun but the people that stayed there before us weren’t very clean. When we arrived the cleaning ladies were still there, and the trash from the previous people hadn’t been taken out.
We have stayed here before and was happy with the rebooking. Upon arrival we realized that there is a new build right in front of the beach view. I know it's not the homeowners fault but some updated pictures would have been nice

TRIP COMPLETELY RUINED
We were there for 8 hours when are daughters (4teens)went to bed only to wake up screaming to bites. BED BUGS ALL OVER THE BED!! We had to stay in a motel down the road (2 rooms over 450 dollars. ) This was the most disgusting thing I have ever had to deal with at 2 am ! It’s was my daughter’s birthday we had family coming from out of town, we had to redirect to our home to stay rest of the weekend. We paid 500 for GOLF CARTS we had to return with NO REFUND!! I’m so upset . VRBO YOU NEED TO DO BETTER! For starters FIRE your cleaning crew , there was trash under the bed in the girls room where the BED BUGS were.
We got to check in early to find the house not all the way cleaned there was a dirty spoon in one of the bedrooms and pieces of bacon on the bunk bed. The second bedroom had stained dirty sheets, pillow cases, and comforter.
We noticed the house was a little hot so we turned on the ac unit and it wouldn't cool off below 78 i contacted the house owner and she asked me to turn it off for a few to see if we could wait till the ac guy came to fix it.
It took two hours before the guy came out and we had just decided to go hang out at the beach and he arrived left within mins because we weren't notified that he was there so he left. Then returned a hour later and started working on it then he eventually got it fixed. But for the first 4hrs we were checked in we were without AC.
The house was great. We really enjoyed it and will be back. The first night we were there the whole peninsula lost power which was nobody's fault. But then it messed up the air conditioner because it was so hot it couldn't keep up so it was hot in the house. I contacted them about it and she had someone right out to fix it and then we had no more issues. She was eady to communicate with. My one issue is that the house says it holds 15 people, but there were only 7-8 forks and so we didn't have enough at the meals for the entire crew to eat with. ( we went and bought plastic ones but those don't work on certain meals very well). I would just recommend they get enough to at least accommodate the number of people the house holds.. also, the beds on the couch are not very comfortable for adults. They may be okay for the kids though.
Overall, we had a pleasant trip and would go back, i would just like to see these couple of issues fixed. #vaca23 was great. Will be back.

Almost, but not quite
Check in went smoothly, but when I actually got into the house, that was a different story. I noticed that there were window units in the bedrooms, which I did not see in pictures or in details of the beach house. Then when I went to go look at the window units there were big gaps between it and the window it was in. You could see outside. These were not small, they were significant gaps because they were not installed properly. Also, the bottom of the blinds in one of the bedrooms was completely broken and left hanging. I messaged the host and someone was sent over right away to make. I guess you could call them repairs. The rugs in the front room and one of the main bedrooms have stains on them as well as some of the furniture has some staining. Beds were not comfortable at all, and there is very minimal things in the kitchen. The rug that was in the kitchen, as well as the bathroom are not meant to be rugs for kitchens and bathrooms. They have no gripper on the back and slide all over the floor. The toilet seat in one of the bathrooms does not fit the toilet that it is on and it is very uncomfortable. if you are not from the Gulf Coast area, you would not know how to work the front door. There’s no instruction on how to work the front door as it is a hurricane door and takes an extra tug of the handle in a certain direction so you can lock it. There was also trash downstairs on the stairs on the deck as well as cigarettes and a lighter that were found by our kids.
