There were maintenance issues that should have been attended to before our arrival. The owner did try to remediate the issues after we arrived. For the most part, the space worked well for our extended family. ##### Cheryl B.

We wanted to save money by eating in, and they had everything we needed for that. Also, plenty of beds and bathrooms for us and our kids! ##### TM W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KT E. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Reunion Well-stocked with lots of space for two young families. The two Master bedrooms were perfect for the two families and the extra bedrooms accommodated 5 children. The outdoor spaces to lounge and eat helped with plenty of seating for meals. Close enough to the beach to walk, although you have to cross a busy street at one poing. Overall stay was amazing! ##### KT E. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David T. 22 May 2019 #### Great Time We enjoyed the house and had a wonderful time there. It was in a nice location close to the beach and restaurants, all while being tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. ##### David T.

Including seven adults we had plenty of space. Bedrooms and bathrooms were ideal for our group. Host was very helpful with our questions and needs. Location was ideal with lovely walks to shore. Hope to revisit. ##### Jean M.

The house was super clean when we arrived snd very well appointed. Comfy beds, fluffy and soft towels and bed linens, well stocked kitchen and great layout for our multi generation family. One of this properties best features is its great outdoor spaces, we enjoyed eating outdoors for almost every meal. Walkable to the beach, and plenty of parking. We will be booking again! ##### Margaret D.

This place is a regular home, so it has a more "lived in DIY" feel then a corporate property, but for us that was great. Lovely kitchen with tons of gadgets, great hot tub and outdoor backyard, basketball for my nephew, teen friendly spaces and even a Kawaii piano for my daughter to practice on. 10 minute stroll to fantastic beach and sunsets. Would definitely return and recommend. ##### Cindy B. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roy C. 18 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Unperfect paradise Home could have been much cleaner. Sticky substance on drawers, when wiping up kitchen floor, paper towel showed black. Some mold in barhroom, no kleenex. Yard is great, very functional, serene and comfortable. We have rented approximately thirty homes through vrbo, this one is among the worst for cleanliness. Location is fantastic, near beaches and attractions ##### Roy C. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maureen O. 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old Friends Get Away Your home was just what we needed. I’m not sure we could count the bed in the cubby hole as a viable sleeping spot though. Minor issues- a few overhead lights out, 1st floor bathroom ( toilet seat needs replacing, directions for the many, many remotes (? all for the TV). ##### Maureen O. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin C. 6 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Great location The house, backyard and location were all outstanding. Beach, dinning, coffee, bagels, dinning, market are all walking distance. The weather was great and we eat are meals outside. The yard is fenced in so if you have a dog it is great. The kitchen was stocked and very functional. Master bedroom was hug and very comfortable. We had six adults and the house held them easily. Only negative was the check in was 50 minutes late and when we asked for a late checkout we were denied. Also, ocean view is extremely limited. Despite that I would highly recommend this house and location. ##### Kevin C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Beth C., Salado, TX 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for our Family We loved the comfort of this home; had 5-6 adults and had plenty of space to have some other family members over for brunch. Enjoyed a family wedding on the beach and it was perfect. We had a problem with the AC unit but the owner promptly fixed it. The only other problem was that the house next door was having a major renovation and so we were awoken by the many contractors hammering and talking at 7 am. during the week. Great Master Suite and double shower. Good kitchen appliances and furnishings. Close proximity to restaurants and groceries (and beach!) Pretty flowers in neighborhood and charming backyard for lounging; fruit trees and butterflies. Plenty of towels provided and the washer/dryer unit was perfect for keeping beach towels and used clothing free of sand. Pricey place but felt like home right away! ##### Mary Beth C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Keith M. 5 Mar 2019 #### A wonderful property with a few quirks We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house has been well updated, and provides a great space for a large family or group of friends. The yard is fenced, and was a great space for our Labrador Retriever to play ball. There are however, a few items that impacted our stay negatively. The furniture in the living room is quite low and very soft. As a result, it is very difficult for older persons to get up after sitting on the couch. The beds are quite comfortable, however, they are on platforms and it is quite easy to hit your shins on the extending corners of the beds. There is a covered sitting area in the yard with indoor furniture under a wooden roof. This was different furniture than that shown in the listing photographs. We did not find the area to be appealing at all. One incident with the owners, related to this furniture, left us a bit stunned. We received a message that their hostess would be coming to cover the furniture because rain was expected. She came by and we told her we had taken cushions from the patio chairs and moved them inside, thinking that these were the concern. We then received a message that it was important to cover the outside furniture because it was not water proof, and that the handy man would come buy and do this as well as clean the back patio and do the gardening. The handy man and a helper did indeed come by and did the gardening, but they did not cover the furniture. Two weeks later, we received another message, asking if we were able to protect the outside couches in the backyard from the rain. There was nothing provided for us to protect this furniture with, and we did not feel it was up to us to go and buy something to cover furniture. Later messages implied that it was our fault that this furniture had gotten wet. Frankly, we believe that this rental would be more attractive if it was returned to the way it is shown in the listing photos. ##### Keith M.

This owner does everything they can to have all you need for your trip. They have all the stuff. Amazing location. The only thing I would consider when booking is if you have pets. They have a lot of rules which is okay but a bit strict about pets. ##### Darrelyn F.

It has everything you will need and more. The linens were so clean with fluffy towels and crisp sheets, like staying at a top hotel chain. The kitchen is a Dream kitchen. It was too cold to do any al fresco dining but we appreciated the lovely outdoor areas. The 2 huge flatscreen Smart TVs made for great group Netflix watching. ##### Cindy F.

Everything was labeled for convenience and the owner was very responsive with communication. The neighborhood was quiet yet the beach was in walking distance, as is a gourmet market and some eateries. The yard was fully enclosed for our dog. We were teens and adults. ##### Stephanie Z.
