This house fit all of our needs. We absolutely loved being able to walk to the beach. .The kids loved the pool to play in after spending the day at the beach.Communication was great and when we needed some towels, they were delivered promptly.We were happily surprised to find leftover beach chairs at the house so check first before you buy some!

Keep coming back!

This house has been a tradition for me to get my children and grandchildren all together; it is like a second home. There were 18 of us this year and most of my grandkids are teenagers or older, and this house can still accommodate all of those people. A couple of things for the owners to consider: - front sliding door sticks and is hard to open/close - back sliding door is lacking an exterior handle - this wasn’t a huge deal because we have stayed here multiple times so we knew what to expect, but larger pots would be nice to be provided since the house can hold so many people. The upgrades made since we were here last were great! We will be sure to carry on our tradition of staying here in the future!

A beautiful disaster

We were renting this home for our wedding party and for our wedding dinner to follow our beach wedding. When we arrived I had noticed they had built structures under the home in which we had planned to set up for our reception dinner. This was never posted in any photos nor was I informed. I figured we will just have to make it work and continued on to enter the home. I entered on the first lower level and was smacked in the face with a very strong smell of mold. Not just a musty mildew smell which can be common in these areas. This was mold. I left the door open and walked away to allow it to air out some. After coming back to look the house seemed very clean but I could see where there had been water damage and that’s where the smell was coming from. The upper levels of the home didn’t smell of mold so long as we kept the door closed upstairs. Everything else was very clean and nice. However we could not stay in this unit due to the fact that my son has a lung disease and the last time this has occurred it set my son into the ER. So when it comes to mold we do not hesitate to leave as well as my mother having massive health issues as well and the smell of mold was coming from her room. When I contacted The owner about this they wanted to simply send maintenance with some buckets to take the smell out. I tried to inform her that this was not enough and it seemed like I was getting attitude. I asked for a dehumidifier and she said that wasn’t possible because she couldn’t order one until after we had left. I asked why couldn’t somebody go purchase one from the store and I got more attitude. She hung up and said she’d see what she could do. She called back told me that they could bring me a dehumidifier as well I then informed her about my son having these health issues and that this wasn’t just about a bad smell this was about health and safety. She hung up once again and said she would see what she can do. She was able to offer us an entirely different home that we wouldn’t be able to move until the next day so we sent our family members with health issues to stay in a hotel for the night While the rest of us stayed upstairs. The new home was beautiful, more up-to date. Overall I was very happy by the end of our stay even through grumpy customer service. We would have been just happy as well with the orginally booked home had it been mold free. Would I stay again? I would book a newer home with GCG not an older home.

Great location!

The property location and layout of the house was fantastic. However, the home itself needs a lot of updates, particularly considering the price we paid for the house. Additionally, the kitchen wasn’t as stocked as it should’ve been for this size property.

over all property is out dated

property needs some up grading, front steps are getting pretty bad shape, the land scaping is terrible , alot of rust showing from screws in the wood around the out side of house, floors in high travel area of house should be redone , they are dirty looking , for the kind of money you ask to rent, i expected a little more , its nothing that time and money would't fix ,,,,, ,,, liner in pool was pulled away from top , oven wouldn't bake had to use convection heat

Large House for multiple families

We only had 4 adults for the property. Too big for just us but I wanted close to the beach and a private pool. The pictures make the pool seem much bigger. We brought rafts but never blew them up. Love the front porch! Sat out there all the time. Neighbors (or renters) were nice. Everyone waived and said hello as they walked by. Grill was clean. Had to call for the pool to be cleaned and they were there within hours. They was a wasp nest too by the table on the front porch and that was taken care to quickly too. Would recommend for multiple families. We only used 3 out of the 7 bedrooms. The door going into the kitchen doesn't lock and a handrail on the front porch is loose.

Short walk to perfect beach. You can see the beach from front porch. When grandchildren get too hot on the beach, they would have fun in the pool. We had 16 in our party. Plenty of room for everyone. We would rent the beach home again.

Fabulous!

We had our very first family reunion here and this vrbo was a perfect place for it. Just a short 3-5 minute walk to the ocean. There were 20 of us and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The house has a lot of space! We loved the front patio!!! Such a great place to sit and relax. We had a few maintenance issues but the property manager responded immediately each time and took great care of us. This home will definitely be on our list of places to return to.
