super great location and stay
Extremely pleased with the location, walk right to the beach steps away, also you have a great covered patio looking right at the ocean between the property and public beach, so its a private beach basically. Apartment is great, clean, comfortable, the owner and property manager are top notch first class, highly recommend for anyone

This is the perfect location for beach goers
This was such a delightful place to stay. Very clean and cute on the inside and is the shortest walk to the beach! The beach is literally on the property. No need to even pack a cooler, you just walk back to the house. There's a trolley stop not far from the drive at all. We did not rent a car. The parking spot would've been a bit difficult to navigate for anything larger than a car, so I'm happy with that decision. The house is just as described in the pictures, really cute. It was easy to text the property manager with any questions. I'm looking forward to my next visit and will definitely seek this location again.

Great location
I can’t say enough about the location and access to the beach. The unit sits among several other similar units with a nice walkway to the beach. The owner was super nice and responded quickly to a few inquiries I had. Great communication. The house itself needs some TLC, but overall was clean. The beds we’re comfortable and there was a nice supply of towels and some complimentary toiletries. The bathroom is very small. They also have beach towels and beach chairs available to use as well which was convenient.

On the beach
Vince was in touch the day before we left, no check in anxiety! Right on the beach. Great location. On the trolley line, connecting all the beaches and it runs late. So no need to drive drunk! There is a little construction across the street. Starts at 7 am. Bring ear plugs

Perfect little beach cottage
Perfect beach cottage. Steps to the beach. Check in was a breeze. Vince communicated everything we needed to know. Safe neighborhood, beautiful white sand beach. Plenty of linens, and towels, and comfortable beds. The only thing that lacked was a mirror. The only mirror in the house is the bathroom vanity mirror. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Attached is the text message sent to the property manage upon checkout today. I think it says it all. I am still awaiting a response to the message from the property owner but needless to say, was beyond disappointed and with VRBO in not ensuring a better quality experience. Vince, want to share some feedback with you surrounding our accommodations over the weekend. We checked out this morning and although the location of the beach house was a positive, there were several issues with the facility that required attention. First, linens and supplies were greatly lacking. Per our previous conversation, not enough blankets, sheets, or towels were available the first night, the posting called for capacity of 6 people, and it was clear by the booking that my family had 6 attending. Although supplies were delivered the next day (Sunday), toilet paper and other paper products still weren't enough which required me to go to a local store and purchase more. Cleanliness as we discussed previously was a significant issue. Items in the kitchen weren't properly cleaned and I've attached pictures as examples (unsure if what's in the utensil drawer are droppings, eggs, or something else). There were spots on some of the bedding as well. I simply was expecting more based on a rental of this price for my family's trip. Questions, let me know. Jeremy Anderson
