    This beach house had some ups and downs. We loved how close the house was to the beach, about a 5 minute walk away. The bedding was comfortable and we got to make ourselves at home. Downside was how hot the house was once we checked in and how it struggled to stay cool during our stay. It was 89 degrees at check in and did not cool down to 72 until 1am. We appreciate the house for providing 4 plug in fans but sadly it wouldn’t help that much. A few times when we left the house and came back the AC was set to 72 and we come back to the AC reading 79 after being out and about all day. One thing that was super scary was how we found a broken beer bottle at the outside shower station so we slipped that amenity. I did pick up a plastic wine bottle in case the property manager tried to blame us for leaving it behind. We were not going to touch broken glass at all!! I would highly recommend the property managers to do a better inspection for future guests that plan on checking in. Would have loved for the AC to been on to at least 80, property need a little bit cleaner as we found dirty dishes in the clean cabinet and can’t forget the alcohol left behind from a previous guest. One last thing the check in key pad was a bit faulty and the online instructions were incorrect as it stated turn a handle as there is only a number pad and push down tab to enter. Highly confused as how to rate this stay.

    AC a real issue as it was on 78 when we arrived. Didn't cool down till mid morning next day 70 degrees.Left it on 65 to keep satifactory temp during stay.Would have been ok if on reasonable temp before our arrival.Dishwasher was full. Outside trash was full.Property was in good condition, lighting very poor.Nice walk to beach.

    Great location, cute house! This house is a short walk to a very quiet beach, which is exactly what I was looking for. Pirates Beach is a great location due to being far enough from the Seawall to be quiet but close enough to drive back on forth for restaurants and shopping. Kitchen was stocked well and the pictures are accurate. Small suggestions: there is no laundry soap provided so make sure you bring some if you will do laundry. Also, the house gets warm at about 3pm until about 8. There are fans in each room but if you are a hot family like we are, that may be a concern. Otherwise great stay, easy check-in, clean accommodations!

    This was a great stay with friends, short easy walk to the beach! The house is on the smaller side but very updated on the inside and had everything we needed for a fun birthday beach weekend with friends!

    Place was in a great location just a short walk to the beach. Newly remodeled and spacious for a 2 bedroom. We enjoyed our stay and would for sure book again.

    Property was clean, rooms smaller than the pictures suggest but comfortable. Bunk beds wobbly for older kids. I believe there should have been a better stock of toilet paper and paper towels and towels in general. Although the washer and dryer helped. All in all it was a comfy stay for the week
    10.0 / 10.0
    The house is cute. They had beach toys and boogie boards. Had to put away dishes so couldn’t just run the dishwasher at check-out, but overall less chores to checkout than other places.
