Our family enjoyed this home. It was perfect for our quick weekend getaway. Functional for the price and location, but nothing over the top. We would recommend for a larger group if you would prefer space and location over the home amenities.
Pros:
-Four bedrooms was able to host 5 adults, 1 child and 1 dog comfortably
-Patio area is great. It’s large, the furniture is comfortable and the privacy from the road is nice. Fire pit was nice to have!
-Overall the house was pretty clean, white sheets and towels all clean, no stains, sanitized remotes, etc. The home definitely could use a little more TLC, but understandable for a rental.
-Five minute walk to the beach, 7-eleven right behind, bagel shop one street over and plenty of restaurants and bars to walk to.
-Washer and Dryer if you need them, but bring your own laundry pods.
-Beach towels, two beach chairs and kids sand toys available.
Things to know:
-We only had maybe a half roll of paper towel so we went through that fairly quickly. No kitchen towels available.
-This house has no basic kitchen food necessities so you will need to bring or buy your own. (Meaning coffee, tea sugar, spices, oil for cooking) The kitchen IS fully stocked with a coffee pot, plates, utensils, pots and pans, cups, ice trays. They did leave a few dishwasher pods and extra trash bags.
-There were flies everywhere!! Not sure if they were coming from the trash which is right outside the gate but it was a little overwhelming. We could not eat outside at all. We had to take the fans outside to try and divert them.
-All rooms have a ceiling fan, but the plug in fans are all old and completely covered in a thick layer of dust. This was disappointing considering that most beachside homes don’t have AC. Normally we would not have even used those fans considering how dirty they were but we were forced to because when we arrived to the home, no fans were on and it took a full day to cool down. The first night was miserably hot due to the recent SD heat.
-Beware: The two en-suite bathrooms are extremely tiny. This doesn’t show in the photos. Be prepared. Also bring your own soap.
-The beds are squeaky, even to the slightest movement and sunken in some spots. They are not comfortable at all!! All five of us left with our backs hurting but they got the job done.
-The TVs are all a headache. The remotes didn’t work universally and they were all mixed up so we had to walk around to each room to figure out which one worked for which tv. You also cannot just turn on the tv and switch channels. Anytime you turn it on, you have to go through a whole setup process on every tv then figure out which HDMI it’s connected to and hope for the best.
