Almost perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second time at this property, first in this unit. For the price, its a nice relaxing place to stay. Conveniently located on the East end, easy parking. The staff was very helpful and polite. The room having been remodeled was pretty clean. There were some mold spots in the shower/tub area. Thought there would be a Keurig but the front desk gave me some coffee to use in the Mr.Coffee. The bed was probably the worst part though, platform, no box spring and lumpy hard mattress and feather pillows. The view made up for most of the small issues. Access to the beach is easy but remember beach footwear as the sand is thick and HOT. Pool looked nice, the grounds in general were clean and pleasant. Yes it is an older property and you can tell. But... as long as the rates stay reasonable, we would come back.
