The house was clean, close to the beach, and perfect for hanging out reading and doing crafts all weekend. The reason for three instead of five stars is two-fold. 1. The fridge was not cold when we got there and didnt get cold for about 24 hours. We were concered about losing a couple hundred dollars worth of food that we splurged on for our special weekend. We were easily able to contact the property, but it was still nerve-wracking for that first night. 2. We tried several outlets throughout the house, most would not charge our phones.
We had a great time. I wish the beach access was a little closer but was easily within walking distance. The bed in the master was uncomfortable so I slept downstairs.
A functional hot tub and a nice view was what we were looking for.
Great place. We could tell that itâs a work in progress but itâs well put together and well appointed. We look forward to coming back later in the year. Could use some new beds though.
The house itself is great! Great location! There was a homeless camp just below the deck that was visible from the property. There was a large tarp and a tent. It was a little un nerving, having homeless people that close.
Beautiful views from the deck. Windows detract from the view. Lots of room for us to spread out, could not get TV in front room to work and there was a strang odor in the house.
Most of the remotes have dead batteries so we were playing swap-aro with them. Also the dryer has something up with the timer mechanism, would not stay on long and sometimes would not come on at all. But we enjoyed our stay and would rebook this property again. Thanks for having us.
A lot of stairs for older folks. One tripped on step to bsmt bdrm and hurt knee. Could be cleaner. Nice deck and view. Nice kitchen, bathroom and living area. No propane for bbq. No dishwasher soap or cleaning supplies. Had trouble with one of the burners on the range.
Loved the location. Hot tub was clean and hot. Can't beat the view from the deck and inside the house. Open floor plan perfect for family gathering. Ping pong was a blast. Realized third bedroom was on the lower level off the garage, far from the rest of the living space. Wouldn't put littles there but worked out for us (all adults). Wished we could open and close the garage from outside. All in all loved our stay and would use again.
This home needs to be updated.
The bathrooms both had black mold in the tub/showe. fixtures old out of date.
There is a homeless camp next door/ below this property. Could not greek if itc was active or not, but very concerned about that.
This home needs to be update. Win not rent this again. Very disappointing
The view from the balcony is absolutely breathtaking! We could see the ocean and the bay. I sat outside most of the time either on the large deck or in the hot tub. The house has retro charm. It was very clean and everything worked well. The hot tub worked perfectly! The house is very private on a large lot. We enjoyed the rec room on the really rainy days. We will definitely be back!

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, we had a great stay at this property. The view was great, and the amenities were as advertised. However, I found the beds too hard and the furniture in the living room was very uncomfortable. That being said, I would stay there again.
The deck view was amazing! The sunsets were beautiful and there were plenty of seats for everyone. The kitchen update was great, however it is lacking dish ware and glasses for the number of people staying (5). The rec room area was great for the ping pong and foos ball but only room for a couple players at a time. There was quick beach access to a stairwell within walking distance of the house. The home needs some maintenance, repairs and removal of old and broken furniture. Overall, our stay was pleasant but you are paying for the view from the deck!
Overall a very good time. It's a beautiful view to be certain. There were a few things that should be mentioned, if they can be addressed, I don't know.
1- The TV in the living room looks like it has been melted on the back.
2- There is what appears to be a homeless encampment just off the north end of the deck, about 12' down in the shrubbery. The guy in there scared the crap out of the kids.
3- It's my fault for not reading it better, but I was under the assumption there was beach access from the property or that it was beach front. It obviously isn't.
4- The microwave doesn't work very well
Everything else was tremendous and we had a fantastic time!!
nice to be able to bring dogs, but the house smells old and dingy, very muggy when first arrived, had to open windows to air out the house but no screens, was clean âenoughâ but able to see dust underneath the furniture, furniture looks old, beds very uncomfortable, very creepy vibes with a bedroom located in the basement, locked closet doors and a locked and closed off attic area with the light left on. nice view of beach but have to walk down the street for beach access. hot tub worked well, but no lights in or around the hot tub so very dark at night. could have probably stayed somewhere nicer for less money.
Oceanfront was nice, surprised to see kitchen and floors had been updated. That was nice but the utensils were more than worn, the primary bathroom was disgusting. Had to spray my Lysol everytime I went in there. Bedroom was not very clean. It was an older home and not well taken care of. Entry thru the basement was terrible. Only had room for one vehicle due to flooring materials on the garage floor. Will probably not return. There are better places for the money.
Amazing Location, Disappointing House. Filthy and Old.
For everything that's amazing about this location there's an equal or greater disappointment inside the home. One of our party exclaimed, "that place is gross inside."
-- Bottom line: Charged a premier price, got an old, beat up, neglected, filthy, poorly stocked home. Not worth the price paid. Communication with property mgmt was substandard, messaged & called without reply.
The GOOD:
- View, deck, hot tub, neighborhood, and proximity to the beach cannot be beat. Kitchen is updated nicely. Counters, sinks & toilets, and sheets were pretty clean.
The BAD (everything else):
- Very dated, old / original interiors.
- DIRTY: Cleanliness was NOT ACCEPTIBLE, in any capacity. Floors (and some chairs) had sand, hair, dust bunnies, and generally appeared uncleaned in weeks / months. Stained couch.
Carpets stained, severely in the upstairs queen bedroom, felt wet or greasy. Dead bugs on window sills and floors. Garage / partially finished lower level smelled damp & musty (moldy?). Half the kitchen items were dirty and required cleaning before use.
- Amenities / Stocking: severely lacking. Only 2 towels per bedroom, no extras for hot tub or beach.
Worst stocked kitchen of any VRBO we've ever seen: minimal dishes / silverware, NO spices or cooking oils, NO foil, plastic wrap, or plastic bags, no extra garbage bags, no scissors or pens, etc.
No window screens anywhere = bugs get inside.
Only 1 bathroom had shampoo, no lotion, no hair dryers.
Will NOT return.
There was a great view from the nice large deck. We were able to watch the whales from the hot tub!! However, the cleanliness of the home was not the best, there were spider webs and spiders everywhere. The third bedroom is in the garage and unfinished. The garage door doesnât work, the curtains were all broken, there were no screens on any of the windows and the lawn was more of a jungle. There were not enough towels for 6 people. There were only a couple pans for cooking and they were all old and hard to cook with. No lids for the pots and no baking sheets. The deck was the best part of the entire home and desperately needs to be redone, a lot of slivers this weekend.
