Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Summer Seas Vacay The property was beautiful. The view was incredible. The beach access was great. The cleanliness of the house was poor. You might consider inspections or hiring a whole new crew. Upholstered furniture is in need of replacement. The smoke detector in living area needs checked. Went off for no reason, caused us some anxiety one night. Like I said, is a beautiful setting, etc., but for the cost of it and your emphasis on no early arrivals due to "spic and span" nature of the house, I believe needs some attention. One other thing, I've never gotten a response to what the $800 plus fee is for from VRBO. Could you possibly give me an itemized bill for it? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023
