First, other reviews are accurate, esp about the pictures. The EXTERIOR are not accurate. The listing depicts the property to be secluded with no neighbors, this is inaccurate . The pics were clearly taken when the property was built. Since then, there have been more homes built, VERY close to this property. So the beach is shared by several others andoften right in front of this property.
Next, the cleanliness and lack of repairs is accurate as well.
#1 - water bugs/cockroaches were abundant downstairs
#2 - in master upstairs, the shower handle was loose and fell when touched, and the hot water on one sink wouldn't even turn on
#3 - ice maker works butthe dispenser does not. So you have to use your hands and kids can't reach it
#4 - pull out drawer style microwave turns on, but does not heat AT ALL.
#5 - top rack of dishwasher kept falling Bc it had broken parts, so you risked having dishes break
#6 - tv downstairs is not user friendly and there was a sign posted about it and you were allowed to use your own AppleTV, etc. Maintenance had to come within minutes of checkin Bc we could even get it turned on
#7 - listing says beach chairs & umbrellas are complimentary, but we were directed to a link to the company with a whopping 15% off code?! That's not free, or complimentary.
#8 - downstairs shower was in operable
#9- we were a family of 6 adults and 4 kids. There was not a single beach chair to use and there was a lack of towels. Kids found 2 small wave boards, but both were broken and couldn't be used
#10 - kitchen utensils/tools/gadgets were not inline with the style of the kitchen. We had to improvise a lot. By the looks of the pics, you would expect it to be a cook's dream... think again.
#11- there is a drawer w a rusty metal box inside. We think it was a bread box? But it was so rusty and disgusting, I would never store anything in there.
#12 - be prepared to bring everything, including salt & pepper. There was not a single pantry item. This was the first Vrbo I've ever stayed in that didn't have the basics like salt & pepper.
#13 - zero cleaning items. Only 1 tiny bottle of dishwasher detergent
Good things: it is very convenient to walk down the shared stairs to get on the beach, and the patio was nice for watching sunsets. The bedding was nice and the kitchen stove/oven was nice. Beware of what you're paying for.
Maintenance did come day after thanksgiving to fix a couple of things, but not all.
