We did have some issues. The master bedroom toilet upstairs was clogged as soon as we got there. We also had a leak in the ceiling in that same bathroom. The pool was never clean, but that could’ve been because of the horrible weather we had for the first three days.

Enjoyed having a pool, especially when we could not get in the ocean due to red flags

We loved this house- nice floor plan, plenty of room, short walk to the beach, and great outdoor furniture. The covered top deck was wonderful. We need a smaller house for next summer, but we would definitely rent this again if we need a 7 bedroom house.

The house was perfect for our family. Everyone had their own space. Location is very ideal - close to Putt-Putt, restaurants, shops, and of course the ocean.

The views were great and it was nice everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Loved having an ice maker and second fridge downstairs! The convenience of restaurants and entertainment within walking distance is awesome! Keyless entry was convenient too
