It was neat and clean. The house was well stocked. We especially enjoyed the beach chairs. Anything that we needed Beach Retreats was prompt and supplied what was requested. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here for 2 weeks. We would definitely stay again. The only negative thing I thought was that this house is almost right on the beach, but you can’t access the beach there. It was some type of private property so it was hot permitted. The beach access was the street before it or after it. That would not deter me from staying again though. ##### LORI M.

Having two living areas was great as we could move between them or split up if tv choices differed. Kitchen well supplied and the appliances were new and tasteful. Full size washer dryer a bonus ##### Bobbie F. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Amiée A. 3 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It’s a little gem in a beautiful area We were a very last minute booking due to not knowing the area, budget, individual beds for members of our family and traveling by plane. I read over reviews, looked at photos etc. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised how clean and well designed the cottage was as well as close proximity to beach. Andcrental company tried to meet some needs we had like an extra beach towel, extra hangers, comforter/sheets & warm throw blanket. The only letdown was pictures and rental description had mentioned a sofa bed. They ended up delivering a cot since they had removed previous sofa bed due to hurricane damage and therefore we needed a bed for our youngest daughter. Although not quite comfortable as we had hoped, they tried. Different rentals provide different things so I’m not always sure what we should expect. We would rent again if a sofa bed or extra twin bed or bunk beds were added as well as new sauté skillet pans. The current ones were badly scratched and/or burnt. When traveling by plane we can only purchase so much and also take back so much. They did work with us on a late check out for a cost since our flight wasn’t til 8:00 pm. ##### Amiée A.

This property is in a great location! Very close to the beach (less than 5 minute walk), close to restaurants and activities. The property was very clean and had what we needed. The suggestions would be to put in a full length mirror and maybe upgrade the washer and dryer as they didn’t clean very well. Otherwise everything we needed was there including nice beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, boogie board and property manager was prompt in ordering a beach wagon when we noticed it was missing which was very kind. All kitchen dishes and utensils were plentiful! ##### Jessica C.

Walk way to beach on 77st is block and have to go on 78st for beach access. Outside need landscape and garage door was damaged previously before we arrived. They do have beach chairs. Good location for families especially with our infant. Only recommendation is the landscape for the front. They do have a gas grill we didn’t get yo use it because lots of restaurants within 10-15 min drive ##### VINNY V.

It's the perfect location-only steps to the beautiful beach and walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We loved having two living areas especially with teenagers. There was plenty of space for all of us to enjoy. The backyard is huge and we loved spending our evenings in the front sitting on the adirondack chairs. The home is charming and decorated so nicely with a classy beach feel. It had everything we needed including a washer/dryer and a gas grill. We loved that we didn't need to worry about bringing beach chairs and towels--it's all provided. We will definitely be back! Thanks for making our vacation so easy and enjoyable! ##### Alicia D.

Dynamite Location The location is the star of the show here - even with the neighbor blocking end of street access, the public access is imminently walkable and many times we could park right at access point from extra ease dropping kids and beach gear. House decor is adorable beach cottage. Unassuming from outside but layout is perfect. Two bedrooms. Two full baths. Two separate living areas meant my family of 6 fit perfectly. Big FULLY-FENCED in yard perfect for dog. Shy on linens. Zero beach gear. Nice kitchen but rudimentary cooking supplies. Eat out, rent or bring your own stuff in this regard. We stayed during Hurricane Ian and were mandatory evacuated 2 days into our vacation. We are locals so we had been watching the weather. Host was very kind to let us rebook our leftover days + additional cleaning fee. ##### Kristen W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra D. 14 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and clean! The Unit was very clean and ready for us. Location to sea great. The Unit itself was wonderful but missing items that would have made it perfect. Here are a few suggestions for this beautiful unit. We were there for 10 days and given each, one bath/face/hand towel. We needed to wash towels nearly every other day and were still charged 69 for a linen fee. MORE towels should have been provided. There was ONE dish towel for the week as well. No potholders were in the unit. We made several runs to Dollar Store for items that should have been there. Another item missing were drinking glasses, perhaps many were broken and not repleaced but we found ourselves washing them out daily. I think we had 3, of which 2 were plastic. There are no mirrors in the unit except for bathrooms.Perhaps an over the door mirrors could be purchased? Grab bars in the shower/tub would have been helpful. One fellow we traveled with has had a stroke and was it difficult for him getting in the shower without somehting to hang onto. The biggest complaint is where the dishwasher location.The door opens right in front of the sink so one is constantly maneuvering to put dirty dishes in. Very tight to work in that area. Not efficient planning . Also you cannot access the beach from your.You must walk to another block to get to the ocean. Looks easy till you get there. The city sent out a team to check on an easement. Bring coffee filters with you as well. We really did love our time there!! ##### Sandra D. Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marybeth F. 5 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location It's a short walk to a lovely beach and you don't have to cross any big roads. It's a shame you can't just walk a few doors down to the beach path, but the homeowner at the end has blocked access. We didn't realize this when we rented, but the listing does mention it now. It's still a short walk, but we missed sunset a couple nights since 10 minute walk can make a difference when you're rushing. The property management company was very responsive when we let them know the only lamp in the bedroom was broken and the Keurig was missing. The only issue we had is that the dishwasher does not clean the dishes. I did report this once I got home, so hopefully it can be fixed or replaced. The dishes and utensils in the cabinets were noticeably dirty when we arrived. Since only one package of dishwasher detergent is provided, we waited a few days to run a load and discovered it did not clean the dishes at all. After that we hand washed everything. We don't really mind hand washing, but dirty dishes in the cabinets were pretty disgusting. We've rented many times from VRBO, and this was the first time automatic dish detergent was not provided (there was plenty of dish soap for hand washing). Maybe it's a Florida thing, but even if the dishwasher worked, enough detergent should be provided for the entire stay, since most people do not want to buy a big box for one week. Otherwise, some people will run it without detergent when they discover they are required to run it before check out. and they've already used the one packet provided. Not exactly hygienic. ##### Marybeth F.

The two different living spaces were a real plus. Beach access is not direct, but only a 5 minute walk via 77th or 79th street. Kala dropped off a beautiful blanket and hot cocoa for Christmas. Nice touch and much appreciated during the cold spell! ##### Marta D.
