Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sofia G. 4 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not impressed Does to of all we were not communicated by the owner fat we were going to be less one room. We came all the way from Brownsville Texas and was told by the owner that she could reimburse us. But so far away and trying to find a place for the family very hard. Especially when we had three elderly individuals and 3 small children. One bathroom for 12 people. Not 1 and 1/2 bathroom. It was organized. But the sheets were not fresh and muggy smell. Had to use an air mattress and a twin size bed from the room that was not able to be used. Slept in the sofas as well. The house downstairs outside area looked that no one had given it love. Like someone hoarding things. Not pleasant to want to go down and sit outside. I even took pictures. Because of disbelief of how a person who rents the not take pride in making the inside just as the outside look charming. Noted and learned on making better arrangements for my family. ##### Sofia G. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kali W. 15 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun beach house We loved the pool. We rented the kayak’s and the golf cart. My husband and son had a blast in the kayak’s out in the bay. We even went crabbing out there and caught some! The golf cart was so fun and loved having it to run across the road to the beach. The boys loved the downstairs and called it their man cave. There was a toaster oven, but no microwave downstairs and that would have been helpful to have a microwave down there. We also loved the outdoor shower. My mom now wants one at her house in Indiana 😂 I also loved having the washer and dryer. The house had a lot of stuff stocked we brought all our stuff, but if needed she been had shampoo and things like that under the sink! So if u forgot something u would have it. I told her we forgot beach towels and when we got there she had stocked 4 beach towels for us so I didn’t have to buy any. The fences in yard was so amazing for animals as well. So basically we will stay again and loved it the pool was probably our favorite part of the house! ##### Kali W.
