Location to the beach was great! Need a golf cart though. Pool was excellent! Kitchen had everything we needed. Had an issue with the dryer but they took care of it. The two game consoles were weak but we didn’t play them anyway. One suggestion would be to clean the return air vents. We had a great time! Thanks!

Just okay

On Vrbo state check in at 4pm but we were unable to check in close to 5pm. Most of my family got there around 4pm and have to drive around until we were able to check in. Dryer was broken call twice but no one come out to fix the dryer as result we were unable to wash and dry out dirty and wet clothing.

Many issues with property

We discovered many issues with this property. 1. Cockroaches2.ants 3. Broken pool light4. Broken ice maker in refrigerator 5.broken dryer machine6. Horrible smell in washing machine- ruining our clothes. 7. No trash bags8. Uncomfortable beds and pillows. These are just some of the issues worth complaining about. This property was certainly not worth the price at all. The price needs to be reduced significantly for all the issues present.

Not very clean

The cleanliness of the property was a big let down. We were really looking forward to the amenities this house had to offer, unfortunately we were not able to use most of them. Upon arrival we were informed the washer and dryer were both broken and only the washer got fixed while we were there, so we were unable to wash clothes during our stay. We were only given 2 towels per room and with the washer and dryer broken, that was just not enough towels for a week stay. We initially walked into dismantled couches, and within the first hour of being there our kids found what is suspected to be feces in the children’s play room. I called the management and they sent someone over with new bedding for that room but no one came to clean the room itself. While the management was changing the bedding she informed me that housekeeping “missed” that room and never got around to cleaning it, but again they never sent anyone to clean it after this situation. Our kids weren’t able to play in the room the rest of the stay which was a big booking point for us as we had 4 children. The pool was also extremely dirty when we got there. There were nicotine packs and cigarette butts all around the pool/outside area, and wads of hair floating in the pool. Someone came and cleaned the pool on the 2nd day of our stay, but initially walking out to a dirty pool was not ideal. Overall this property wasn’t properly cleaned and was disappointing.
