This property is very nice and my family enjoyed our stay here.
DesignedVr are very friendly hosts with a fantastic knack for design. Very responsive to issues as well.
Overall, We did feel that it was not as great of a value as we were hoping. We would definitely stay here again, but would maybe search for alternate option first.
Pros:
Backyard Space & Amenities
Pool Heat
Property Location
Master Bedroom
Cons:
Hot Water
A/C and Humidity levels
Multiple Visits, some unexpected
The backyard is very spacious with a grill and small fire pit. Great area to relax with friends and family. We were a little paranoid the whole time though after reading some reviews about the neighbor. And after arriving nearly every other house in the neighborhood has a sign in the front yard that says they don’t support vacation rental homes. I’m pleased to say the neighbor was very friendly with my family.
We did pay for the pool heat, I HIGHLY recommend. It was so warm and so enjoyable.
It’s in a great location just over a mile away from the beach, and plenty of restaurants and bars, super fun boardwalk with merch and ice cream shops, easy to walk to as well (or take a cheap Uber/Lyft $6-$12)
Master bedroom is very nice and had no issues.
My family had a very difficult time taking showers with hot water in the other 2 bathrooms. And as a family of 8 in a 5 bedroom house, we did not expect to have this issue.
Maintenance came (for this and a few other minor issues) and was very friendly. He took care of our issues and fixed everything and eventually was able to get some hot water in the back bedrooms. But after his departure for the rest of the stay, we had not much luck getting the same outcome.
You NEED to make sure you empty out the dehumidifier every 3-4 hours if you have any hopes of sleeping comfortably in the guest bedrooms. The a/c works fine, but not great. Maybe you could request a couple box fans if you have a problem.
There are many different people who take care of different things. So it’s quite
annoying to keep getting interrupted by different people all day. We had 3 different people come to our house one day and it was wild. The expected maintenance man, another guy later on for our propane, and a 3rd unexpected pool man that came to do his job. It was just very uncomfortable knowing how many different people have access to the grounds of this property.
