Reviews are worth what you pay for them, including this one so please take with a grain of salt. My goal is not to influence you to book or not book this home, but to inform you of what to expect if you do.
We have taken our family to the beach the day after Christmas for several years. On this trip there was 10 of us counting husbands, fiancées, girlfriends, and boyfriends. 2 more of us could not make it this year due to a conflicting trip. Now that our family has grown up, it is difficult for us all to get together. This is the reason we go to the beach, to spend time together as a family.
The good. The house was clean. The communication was good. Arrival and entry were easy. The location is good.
Now the bad. This house does not sleep 12, not comfortably. Not close. The only way it would work is if your party had lots of children who didn’t care where they slept. We did not have small children and remember, there was 10 of us, not 12. The day after we arrived, the next morning, we scrambled and leased another home (condo) so we would have enough room for everyone. Ouch! So, some of us stayed at this house and some stayed at the condo. Not ideal for what we were planning.
Something else you should know. The beach has experienced serious erosion so there wasn’t a beach. The leasing agency has nothing to do with this but think It’s something you should know. We are a very active family and like to play games on the beach while we’re there. There was hardly anywhere to place a chair. Also, because of the erosion, getting down to the beach was a real challenge. You must be able to scale the dune which is steep. An elderly person or someone with limited physical ability would have a difficult time doing this.
Lastly, this rental is a down and dirty, no-frills rental. The agency will send you a list of things that you need to bring with you if you lease it. Pay attention to that list, they are not joking. We had one wash cloth when we arrived. Again, the agency, I think, said this but I didn’t believe they were serious. They were. Also, if you want to hang any of your cloths, bring clothes hangers.
Overall, I would give this place about a 2 star. Primarily due to how uncomfortable it was for 10 people. We would not lease this home again.
Remember, reviews are very subjective. You may go and wonder what the heck that guy was complaining about. I hope that’s the case. I just wished someone else would have written this before me.
