The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. The dock was a wonderful place to just sit and soak up the sun if you did not want to go to the public beach. ##### Stephanie B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerome 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Love it ##### Gerome Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Brittany C. 23 Jun 2025 #### Okay The door handle was very hard to open. There was minor damages to the home. I took photos of when I got there. I knew it was a duplex but didnt realize how paper-thin the walls were also a door connecting straight to the other side. It was clean. We had to make sure to try to quiet the children down, we didn't want to disturb the other guests. ##### Brittany C. ### 6/10 Okay #### Chelsea G. 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy While the location is excellent, the property is just okay. All the furniture and finishes are very old, and some things actually broken (one of the recliner arms). And the entrance door was very difficult to open, close, luck & unlock. We appreciated the spot but probably wouldn't stay again. Additionally, when we were packing up to leave, the cleaners were sitting in the driveway waiting.(This was 45 minutes before check out time). That was very awkward. ##### Chelsea G.

Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vanessa W. 3 Jun 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### RENTER BEWARE Slum Dump Rental This rental is completely run-down and dirty and smells of urine and mold. It has not been properly maintained or cleaned. The pictures have been edited and are not representative of what the house really looks like. Broken broken window on the porch, The paint on the walls is peeling in the main room and hallway. The refrigerator is rusted and the ice maker barely works. The kitchen is filthy and hasn’t been deep cleaned in years if ever and the cabinets are covered with old petrified food and drink. One of the cabinet doors is falling off the hinges. The ceiling stucco is falling in over the dining table. Pieces of the ceiling over the table kept falling during our trip and a piece fell on my husband while he was eating breakfast this morning we left. In addition to being dirty, the kitchen was not equipped with enough dishes for 6 people. We had to take turns using bowls. There are no sharp knives and a dull knife sharpener that needs to be thrown out. There was only one kitchen dish rag and no broom. The night we arrived I had to go buy a can opener, cleaning supplies, rags and cooking knives that cut because there were none. The tub is absolutely disgusting and looks like it has never been deep cleaned… ever. The drain is also clogged and very slow to empty adding to the grossness. The “bath mat” was so nasty I didn’t want to touch it. I put it in a garbage bag for the duration of our trip and left in the bathroom when we check out. It has obviously never been washed and looks like it was dragged in from the parking lot. The A/C filter door looked like it had a fur coat. I opened it and an inch of thick matted hair dirt and grime that was nauseating. The bedroom with the king bed has a strong smell of urine and a poorly patched hole in the door. There are holes and what appear to be blood stains on the bed spread. I don’t believe any of the bed covers have ever been washed. The internet only works intermittently. There is no dedicated Wi-Fi router for this unit so technically it does not have internet. This unit has to connect to a router on the other side of this duplex. It is inaccessible from the side we rented. We had to knock on the door of the unit next door and ask the renters to reset the router multiple times. We gave up and had to make business zoom calls using data and use our phones as hotspots because the internet constantly blinked out. If I had known the truth about this rental I would absolutely never booked it. ##### Vanessa W. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stacy C. 27 May 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Was ok Location was good. House was just ok. Deck dated and did not feel completely secure. The layer of dust on fan vent and ac vent was gross. There wasn’t a sharp knife in the place. Fridge was rusty on front and froze dairy products. Neighbors were very nice. Popcorn ceiling was missing large chucks in dining room and was still falling off. ##### Stacy C. Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carla H. 7 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good if nobody is in the adjoining apartment This house is in a good spot with really nice neighbors. Needs a couple of cosmetic repairs but nothing big. Fishing off the little dock at the house was fun. There was only one real problem; there’s a door in the living room connecting the two duplex apartments that does absolutely nothing to stop sound. Great place to stay if nobody is staying in the other apartment or if you rent them both. We went on spring break and had a hard time finding a place to eat on the island that was open. Hopefully, that’s not a problem for people during the summer. ##### Carla H.

The property has not been maintained very well, the yard had weeds and sand spurs. Under the house the concrete had not been cleaned in a while stones everywhere. The deck upstairs was so dirty after walking on it our feet where black. The kitchen did not have a bottle opener and the can opener did not work. The area was very nice and quite. ##### Joseph K.
