Maybe tell people about the road coming into the property. We had a large truck and it was not easy to get in and out! It’s also not easy going to the breach for old people. There is a hill to go up and down. House is beautiful! Beautiful decorated. Great stay. Needs more deck furniture.

Fall Get Away

Great location! Beach is amazing and we have so much fun! Beds are very comfy. Vacant property in front really didn’t bother us. Kitchen was very well stocked. Would suggest a squeegee for sliding doors, outside glass had condensation everyday from temperature and ocean mist. Loved the sunrises every morning!!

Beautiful! Just a few things to consider

Pros: Beautiful location, beautiful beach, house itself is lovely, easy parking, great response from the realty company! Cons: Windows were filthy. Usually this wouldn’t bug me, but the siding doors to the beach were really dirty and while you could see out of them, they definitely needed cleaning, easily solved by bringing windex or something with you. Top bunk in the kids room room had an almost completely broken board on the bottom, and all the “netting” or whatever is on the bottom was ripped and hanging down into the bottom bunk. It was fine because we only had two kids, so we just didn’t use the top bunk. Drains in the bathroom BARELY drain. Even if you rinse off after the beach, there will still be some sand on you and it just doesn’t go down the drain at all. Tubs get gross after a week there. Dryer was really rusty. When we emptied the dryer vent it was covered in rust. Our clothes came out fine, though. Definitely need to contact the realty company about the temp of the house and they’ll make sure the owners will keep it set to the appropriate temperature. Carpets also probably need a thorough cleaning, not just vacuuming. Overall, would definitely stay again. Any inconveniences were not a deal breaker at all.

We Loved Our Stay

We had an amazing stay at Sun Trippin'. Multiple decks to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach and ocean! Step out your door and right onto the beach. We had no issues with the AC like previous guests had mentioned. We could control the temperature up and down as needed. The bedding is new and so comfortable. We only have a couple of suggestions: the blinds in the family room are stuck open at different heights and can not be adjusted, which make it uncomfortable to sit on the sofa at night because the neighbors next door can see straight into your house. There need to be some drapes in the master bedroom because the blinds do no cut out any of that amazing early morning sun. No one wants to be woken up at 5:30 on vacation. And lastly..the refrigerator needs to be replaced. It hums loudly non stop and there is no ice maker.

Some things I wish I'd known before renting

I'd say generally I roll with the punches on vacation, but there were enough petty things to make me feel petty too, so here are some things we wish we would have known before paying full market value for this "lemon" 1. If you face the ocean on the deck, your view will be about 20%-25% blocked by an abandoned and run down house. The house is boarded up, posted with "Call 911 if you see anyone in here" signs and is generally a real eye sore. On the positive side, it doesn't seem to have been overrun with crack addicts. 2, Getting to the trash dumpster is an adventure. You've got to carry your trash bag (no wagon or similar) down the road past 5 or so houses to get to the dumpster. Once there, opening the lid requires you to reach above your head (I'm 5 10) to push the lid open a crack and with the other hand stuff your garbage into the dumpster. Some of our party had shoulder replacements last year and couldn't do this. House rules are quite emphatic that trash must be taken out daily. 3. Not all of the blinds worked, so don't plan on sleeping in on sunny days. 4. Appliances are in bad repair, notably the fridge where the ice maker didn't work, but sounded like it was trying really hard to squeeze a cube out. Also the freezer bottom cage was rusted and past end of life 5. The clothes dryer might belong in the Smithsonian, but it's so rusted out that moving it might prove fatal. 6. The AC only can be set to 73 degrees (a.k.a. "swampy") and the instructions warn you that setting it lower will freeze the AC unit (I doubt the filters have been cleaned since Ike was president) and if you do set it, the owners will change it back up over the internet. Other than that-- it's charming (yes, that's sarcasm)

Sewer smell

Had a good time but when we arrived there was a terrible sewer smell that was not addressed or corrected for several days. Very grateful for the neighbor who came and fixed the problem.

2020 vacation

The property was nice and clean. The kitchen table area was more than just "cozy" the table was too big for the small area. There is a house that sits to the left of the house. You still have a gorgeous view, The upstairs new King mattress is very comfortable. The queen mattress in the room off of the kitchen really needs a new mattress. You can't adjust the temperature below 72, but we stayed in September, so extreme heat wasn't an issue. There were ceiling fans everywhere with great controls.. The new living room couch was very comfortable. The wifi is spotty. The shower underneath the house for rinsing off sand was nice!

Family Break

We were looking for a low population density beach location to get some relaxation while still being able to social distance. This house was a great choice. On the beach, plenty of space, and great views. The house and outside of property could have been cleaner. We cleaned up the inside better upon arrival. But there were 8 plastic bins containing used linens that were left on the property. I contacted prop manager twice and was told they would be removed, but they weren’t. Would have given 5 stars if it was cleaner.
