We spent a week here with 3 generations! We had a blast on the beach and made some wonderful memories. The house has nice decor for a rental but there where several problems.
The cons:
The air conditioner on the top floor stopped working on our first night. We realized it the next am and called the realty management. They sent out a maintenance man to take a look and he said it was clearly not working correctly but above his expertise. So later a HAVC repairman came. He determined the unit needed freon. At 5:00 he was gone and still no cold air upstairs. After several calls(6) to the very nice after hours Reality rep, we finally had AC at 10:30 in the evening. Very frustrating being taken out of vacation mode to deal with this problem.
Also, the second master bedroom has mildew and mold all around the ac vents on the ceiling and the whole room smells of mildew. Not good.
The kitchen was fairly well equipped but had NO pot holders, scissors, and only one kitchen towel. So bring your own!
The pool was fun for the kiddos but after 3 days it was in need of cleaning. We skimmed it daily and made them all shower before swimming, but its the beach and sand made its way in. A mid-week vacuuming would have been great. We called about it but never heard back.
It would also be nice to have a vacuum in the house that worked.
On our last morning, we paid extra for late checkout (11:00 instead of 10:00) $100.
A cleaning lady came to our door at 10:00 and said she had to clean and that everyone had to check out at 10:00. She came back to the door 5 minutes later and said she had to clean because someone was checking in at 2:00! All the while, we were on the phone with the realty trying to clear this up. She came back to the door to apologize. The communication between the realty office, renters, and repair/maintenance staff is lacking.
The pros:
The beds are very comfy! The house is in a great location, close to the beach, a great dog park, and a fun spot called Coco's!
Plus minutes from shopping, restaurants,seafood market.
We rented bikes for all and so glad we did!
We had a great time despite the problems!
