Cute House -2 Blocks from Beach

Great location - very short walk to the beach, plenty of natural light - and beautiful artwork and houseplants decorate the space. Perfect for our short Thanksgiving “getaway” - had everything we needed - would definitely stay here again!

For a smaller house, it met all our needs. We stayed busy every day sightseeing and came back to sleep. Beds were comfortable and we rested well. The upstairs bathroom was small but it took care of our needs. The area was very quaint and close to the beach which was beautiful in the early morning and before sunset. We had a pleasant stay.

Nice cottage, a bit on the funky side but pleasant. 2 blocks from the beach. Could definitely use a new couch, fix the front door, and better bedside lighting. Note that the damage deposit was 1500 which was actually charged to my credit card before we arrived and I didn’t get the money back for more than 2 weeks later. A nice float for someone but I had to cover it because of my cards billing cycle. VRBO says this is their policy. Seems wrong to me. Anyway, a nice place.

The house was all the good things I read about but we had to leave after 2 nights. On our third day while making coffee and toast at the same time, the fuses were blown & we learned the electrical panel needed to be updated. We couldn’t get the electricity back & with much warmer temps coming & no AC, we opted to leave. The owner refunded our money for the days we were going to miss which was exactly what she needed to do. She apologized for the trouble via text. We had spoken several times on the phone prior to this happening & I thought it would’ve been nice if she called me to discuss it but she did not. We spent half the day packing everything back up & etc then of course it took time to find a new place that fit our budget so I feel like we lost a whole day by the time we found a new place & unpacked etc. This was only my 2nd experience using VRBO, & the first one interestingly enough there were plumbing issues & they needed to bring in a plumber to fix it, so just bad luck?? Or are properties not being accurately represented. If the price seems reasonable or a good deal maybe things are not up to snuff???
