The VRBO was exactly as pictured, clearly newly renovated, and we had a wonderful stay! We ended up getting locked out due to a keypad malfunction (nothing they could have possibly prevented) and the host replaced the lock that same night at midnight for us, while even allowing us to rest in the downstairs vrbo. We felt safe snd secure the whole trip, the location is perfect for going to the beach, shopping in nearby strip malls, and was just in general very good. Thank you for providing such an awesome stay! ##### Marnie S.

The house was nice, though the parking was difficult given location. The dryer does not dry much at all. Beds were comfortable and the house is well taken care of. Would not recommend for young kids, as it is not a safe location for kids to really play outside and there is not much they can do inside with neighbors below. ##### Vanessa W.

Only issues were the hall bath shower curtain had mold on it, the floors were kind of dirty so we cleaned them and there were 3 bees nests around the deck. It’s a busy road but close to so many things and the beach is only a 3 minute bike ride away. It was a great last family vacation since our kids are older and going their own ways next year. We would definitely stay again if we had the chance. ##### ryan t.

It is a lot of walking up and down the stairs since it is the upper floor, so if you do have a condition where you cant walk up the stairs it will make it tough. ##### Brian E.

We could hear every bump and footstep below, and the flush of the toilet sounded like a waterfall. The most problematic aspect was the outdoor motion detection lights. Everytime the upstairs renter went our to smoke, which was every half hour from 11 pm through the night, the outdooe lights turned on and lit up the bedrooms in which we were staying. This went on all night, even after we complained to the upstairs renters. If there are inconsiderate renters in the top half of the rental, it is a disaster ##### gary r.
