To set the stage, we had 6 adults and 8 kids, 3 of which were infants who could crawl and did not require beds as we brought our own. We had an issue with another rental location 3 weeks before our trip and had to have our reservation change. VRBO was great in helping us find a new house that, on paper fit our needs, but we were somewhat surprised by what we found.
Upon arriving, it was as if the house had not been cleaned in weeks. We found a pizza box with old pizza under the kitchen table, a pair of underwear in a bathroom, a used retainer in another bedroom, hair in each of the showers, dirt and trash and cobwebs under each piece of furniture in the house, there was broken glass in one of the bathrooms, one of the bedroom door handles was broken, the floors had a coat of sand and dirt on them to the point that we had to clean them to even let our kids crawl around because they all had had black feet and hands after crawling around for 5 minutes and there was a bucket of old cigarette butts on the porch. All of this to say, they charge a cleaning fee which is ridiculous given how dirty this house was.
We contacted the owner about the condition of the house but she did not respond.
Thankfully the linens and towels were clean. They have new TV's and the kitchen was modernized but the living / dining space was combined and relatively small for the number of people the house could hold. The air conditioning was ok in the first two levels of the house (Central air on the first floor, window units in the rest of the house) but was relatively ineffective on the top floor.
We were about 2 blocks from the beach which was good and the beach was very clean and well maintained. It was also a great family beach, being much less crowded then other areas we could see. 10 min drive to the Casinos/Shopping and there were a number of stores and small restaurants nearby.
I would not recommend this house to anyone but we really did enjoy the time at the beach and in the city!
