Summary of reviewsThe property was very well equipped, clean, and in a great location. The decks, hot tub, and pool were fantastic. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
Gorgeous, roomy home with everything needed for a fun and comfortable family vacation. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a large separate ice maker. Each of 3 levels have outside decks, with the 2 lower decks being covered. The top deck has a ready to use hot tub. The unheated pool is large with a nice deck furnished with plenty of chairs.
Our only problem was that even though our contract clearly stated that all linens were supplied, when we arrived there were no towels and no sheets. We spent our first evening making numerous phone calls and texts to get towels and linens. At 10 pm we were told we would not get sheets for 2 of the king beds until the next morning. I asked that the manager call me the next day with no response.
It was advertised that 2 beach parking passes were included. We never got them.

Reviewer Comments:
There were numerous things that were on the owners website - like numerous beach chair and bikes - that when you actually get there - there is only 2 beach chairs and no bikes. So we had to buy beach chairs and rent bikes - if we knew this before we would have brought them. I would say that the owners need to change their website to reflect the actualy items there. We used to come to this house 15 years ago every year - but due to illnesses in the family we had stopped and wanted to revisit the house -it brought back many wonderful memories - but honestly not much has changed since we were there. The owners were always wonderful to us since we kept coming every year. Hope they can update their website so someone else won't have happen to us.
