Has great potential - beautiful views
Chad was outstanding. He immediately answered text and great overview of the property.
Our large family stayed for 8 nights in mid-october ‘22. All bedrooms were occupied and we cooked atleast 6/8 night. Ill start with the negatives.
The parking and accessibility of the property. Each time you pull into the drive someone has to get out of the vehicle, manually open and close the gate. Then you must attempt an 11 point turn to somehow back into the small slab of concrete assigned to the rental- without hitting the neighbors jeep parked purposely in the middle of the driveway, and without taking out the automatic gate that encloses the rental property. We had 2 vans, so getting them both parked (and closing the gate, was not going to happen!)
The pics on vrbo are not recent. There is no fireplace in the MB. You get to stare at a slab of particle board instead.
There are visible tears in the carpet & the blankets were old, thin, and had holes in them.
The outdoor furniture was in pretty bad shape & a chair snapped off from the base it was so rusted.
There is only 1 bathroom on the main level to be shared by 5 beds. The shower curtain and shower head do not contain water at all.
The AC is not what you would expect. There are small units in each bdr & take a while to cool, but are much better than the 1 single unit in the main living area ( used to cool living room, kitchen, and dining room) a much larger unit is needed to really be able to say the entire house has AC.
This house is better listed as water front -not beach front. There is NO sitting on this beach and I most certainly would NEVER let inexperienced swimmers or young children play on the beach, much less get in the water. The current is VERY strong and the burritos and sandbags used to inhibit erosion are EXTREMELY slippery. Be very careful.
Positives- the lanai and the views are breathtaking. The kitchen is nice and has most everything u need to cook (spices are outdated). There is enough seating and the outdoor shower has hot water. 2 refrigerators make it nice for storing extra food and drinks. Plenty of towels and beach equipment. (No coolers though!) it’s quiet and neighbors are nice and like to talk. Overall we probably wouldn’t rent again because of the very limited beach access. 22k is too high to drive to another beach everyday. But it is a lovely home and if you arent beach people its the perfect spot for you!
