10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house is located in an excellent area if you enjoy driving on the beach for the day to fish and play and also excellent restaurants close by. The house was perfect size for the wife and I. Very clean and comfortable as well. The only thing I can point out is the kitchen is a bit understocked but that is mentioned in the add so we came prepared.

The property is in a very nice location & good size for what we wanted. The management team is also great at communicating! The property itself could have been in a little better condition, cleaner, as well as stocked with necessary items (bath & hand soaps, dishwasher pods, trash bags, etc), especially with the late check-in of 5pm. The community surroundings is nice & did appreciate the bonus package of beach items they offered!

Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
When we first arrived, we had to wait an extra 30 minutes after check in time because the AC was broken and it was nearly 100 degrees inside. It stayed at 90 degrees for a day and my dog was struggling. The beach next to the house was closed off.
