This is about the 4th time my family has stayed at this unit. We cannot beat the location and value of this townhouse! As with every beach rental in which we've stayed (and no matter how expensive), there are bound to be things that need attention with such a popular unit. This was no exception; HOWEVER, everything was taken care of promptly and politely. We requested a coffee pot and received a brand new one the day we moved in (had the other renter informed the manager, I'm sure they would have had a new one immediately as we did), there were extra sheets and towels AND, as always, lots of beach items that were free for our use! This is a lifesaver when my very young nieces need a wagon ride to and from exhausting days of fun on the beach (and I was so grateful for an umbrella)! We were even provided fabulous recommendations for local restaruants off the "tourist" map. I have already booked my vacation for this summer and cannot wait to return to such a great townhouse at a great price!

ALWAYS A PLEASURE!

I am compelled to write this review after reading the previous, totally erroneous review, written by the woman from Tennessee. This was my family's second time renting this wonderful townhouse. The location and views are spectacular. The owner was thoughtful and communicative and the rooms were spacious. This townhouse was as clean as any beach house can be expected to be! When we travel to the ocean my family appreciates staying in a nonsterile yet homey environment. I am a nurse and appreciate making my own bed these days with the threat of bed bugs on the rise. People expecting any more than a warm comfortable living space steps away from the ocean should consider renting a character-lacking condo with plastic palm trees and maid service! Thanks again Michael! See you next summer.

Cleanliness and Maintenance NOT where it should be.

While the unit's view and location were great, the cleanliness and maintenance were totally unacceptable. I have rented many times through VRBO, and this is my first experience with these kind of problems. Here are the specifics (which I related to the property manager in an email and his response was basically, Sorry)
1. Cleanliness - While charging a fee is pretty standard these days, arriving to an EXTREMELY dusty unit, where I have to make my own beds is not acceptable with that fee. The place had been surface cleaned at best, the towels were super dingy, there was dust everywhere, we found clothing and other detritus when we moved the cushions around on the couch and the back porch was flat out filthy. We had to wear shoes out there from all the sand and nasty dirt on the floor out there. Also the seats on the chairs were literally molding.
2. Maintenance - The screen door, complete with massiv hole, did not work (it would get stuck or completely fall off when trying to open it) and we had to completely remove it, meaning we could not leave the door open to hear the ocean and keep the bugs out. I called the property manager the first day, and he claimed he could not get fixed in the week we were there. The coffee pot was literally held together at the bottom by tape, one of the railings of the staircase was on the ground. None of the remote controls had functional batteries and the mattress on the bed in the guest room upstairs had literally been snapped and was totally broken at the foot of it.

I would definitely NOT stay here again, and frankly wouldn't rent anything associated with this property manager.
