I'm staying in a two bedroom that's very spacious. We have a family of four and it's perfect. Two bedroom and two baths. This is a boutique feel, the staff is incredible. They have beach towels, toys, chairs and umbrellas to make your beach day perfection. The rooms are completely remodeled with a modern, beachy feel. The beds are comfortable with fluffy pillows and white comforters. I'm here in the peak season and it's around $7k for a week. I personally think it's worth paying more to be right on the beach. It's absolutely heaven to wake up to the sounds of the ocean and see the sunset on the water every night. Also, it's dog friendly!

Have been a customer for 17 years as have many family members and friends. Checked in, paid my balance by check and they cashed within an hour. Arrived in room to 2 dead cockroaches and a toilet which wouldn't flush. A live roach runs into bathroom and under sink. Told mgr Lily she called maintenance man who should arrive in hour or two. In the mean time, chased 2-3 other cockroaches killed one. Wife flushed other toilet to see if it worked and it overflowed on to floor and shower backed up spewing sewage. The smell was unbearable. Put down towels called manager she said she'd call plumber now. Went to get a glass in the cupboard and found a glass full of syringes. Obviously this place has not been cleaned. BROKEN TOILETS, LIVE AND DEAD COCKROACHES, RAW SEWAGE,SYRINGES were the issues within the first two hours of our family vacation. Plumber arrived and fixed plumbing. Still nobody cleaned bathroom floor or shower. And it reeked of sewage. We asked if anyone was going to clean up the roaches and the manager finally did. Manager tried to get us to stay with discounts and other rooms but they had nothing comparable and we were disgusted and really couldn't see ourselves staying anywhere in this place. We chased a roach and moved a chest of drawers and found RODENT AND COCKROACH FECES (see photo)Final straw was my son finding roaches climbing up from the drain in the shower into the pan. That's it. We never unpacked so we put everything in the truck and drove 2 hours home. Vacation week ruined. Family reunion ruined. I called the next morning and spoke to Lily and said I was driving down to pick up my refund. She confirmed that I would be getting 100% refund and that the owner was there and valued us as a customer and wanted a second chance. All I wanted was my money back I said. Drove 2 1/2 hours to be greeted by a check for half my total. So they kept $2400. Unbelievable. I will never give uLIARS on top of it Enjoy the photos. I have more and video to be posted. UPDATE. Owner called 9/12 and said he would be sending the balance of the refund. STILL NOTHING. After a month, I received a full refund. Not pleased with what I had to do, and was prepared to do in order to effectuate the full refund. They could have tried to make it right but failed. Sorry to say we won't be customers again.

Check-in was effortless and so quick. I really appreciate the clear communication and easy instructions. I personally loved staying in Unit #4, you have the best of both worlds, proximity to the upper street during the day and the stunning ocean view on the upper level. The unit is small but honestly the perfect size for a couple. It's an older building but that adds to the charm. You truly feel like you are living like a local. It comes equipped with everything you need. Plenty of linens and toiletries. Even beach chairs and lanterns. The high deck chairs on the patio are perfect for sitting and watching the sunset or looking for dolphins off the coast. I felt super safe the whole time. The property is within walking distance to coffee shops, the pier, dining and more. Highly recommend a stay. Can't wait to go back.

They clearly take pride in making guests feel welcome and at home. If you're looking for a peaceful, stylish beach retreat in a prime spot, this is it.

During our stay, we experienced several significant issues:…read more AC Issues and Faulty Workarounds: The living room AC did not work. While we were told we could not run both the central air and the bedroom portable ACs simultaneously, we had no choice due to the main unit's failure. Furthermore, the replacement portable AC provided by maintenance leaked heavily. When we reported this, the property manager told us we could not use towels to catch the water, forcing us to purchase a kiddie pool at our own expense and effort to protect the floors. Additionally, we discovered an air vent was covered by a bed in the master bedroom, causing unbearable temperatures until we relocated the furniture.   - Maintenance Inconveniences: We had to accommodate maintenance visits twice during our short 4-day stay. Additionally, the master bedroom TV did not work during our trip, and maintenance was unable to resolve the issue.   - Cleanliness and Maintenance Deficiencies: Upon arrival, the floors were so dirty that our feet turned black from walking inside. We also found safety pins on the floor in the upstairs master bedroom and a greasy, soiled blanket on one of the beds.   - Poorly Maintained Amenities: The leather couches are poorly patched and ripped, the downstairs refrigerator is missing its handle, the ice maker is cracked, the sliding doors are extremely difficult to open, and there are no screens on the windows.   - Inadequate Supplies: We were provided with only five rolls of toilet paper for 12 people over 4 days, and were told to purchase our own when we ran out.   - Inaccurate Listing Details: The rooms are much smaller than pictured, the deck and interior walls have peeling paint, and the beach directly in front of the house is rocky, treacherous, and unusable. The property manager was quick to respond but offered little actual help, though we did appreciate that the maintenance technician was very polite. I have photos documenting all of the issues mentioned above

I rented this property for a 4-night stay at a cost of approximately $2,000. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience did not match what was advertised. During our stay, we encountered numerous issues, including: * A non-functional sliding door in the only ocean-view room. * A fireplace that was initially not working. * A broken kitchen faucet that resulted in no running water in the kitchen until it was repaired. * An AC unit in the "Sand Harbor" room that did not cool properly and made a loud rattling noise. * Multiple windows without screens, including the largest window in the house, while the screens that were present were dirty. * A jacuzzi with water too low to use the jets and no instructions or hose available to refill it. * Cleanliness concerns upon arrival. * Multiple maintenance visits during our vacation. To the company's credit, some issues were addressed during our stay, and they ultimately issued a $200 refund. However, given the number of problems and the overall impact on what was advertised as a premium vacation rental, I did not feel the resolution reflected the experience we had. This review reflects my personal experience so that future guests can make an informed decision.

Although we didn't have beach access since we were on the rocky side, which was all clearly in the description, we all still had a great time. For two families with three kids altogether, I felt safe in the home. The kids' room was all the way at the far end from the front door, which is what I prefer for their safety. The kids didn't even use the room, as the little nook was far more appealing. Garage parking was available, but it's very tight and you'll have to move cars around with the other units you'll share the garage with. Best to park on the street. There was a generous supply of beach towels, bedding, and pillows. Not having to clean up is always a bonus (although I usually like to clean up and make it easier for the cleaning crew), which lessens the stress when checking out. There were also plenty of outlets throughout the house for all to plug in their devices. The process of checking in and out was fairly easy. I did stub my toe and was pleasantly surprised that a first aid kit was available. Check under the kitchen sink. An addition of a hose on the patio or shower station to wash off sand, would be great. A tub of water is provided, but it could only rinse off so much when getting into the hot tub. The WiFi connection wasn't the best, but it wasn't a big deal. This little getaway was meant for offline activities anyway. We will definitely rent again and I already have my eye out for one particular house.

Overall, we had a nice stay, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement…read more The positives first: check-in was quick and easy, the room was spacious, and I really appreciated that there was no carpet. We appreciated the complementary breakfast. The towels and bedding were clean, and the hotel staff kept providing fresh, clean towels throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The beach attendants were friendly, the hotel provides sand toys for kids, and we really enjoyed the live music in the evenings. The location is excellent and made it easy to enjoy the beach. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room upon arrival was disappointing. The toilet seat had what appeared to be blood or feces on it, there was urine around the base of the toilet, which made it seem like the bathroom floor hadn't even been mopped, and there were crumbs and bits of food, along with a few dead bugs, around the beds. Thankfully, I had hand sanitizer with me and cleaned the bathroom before my children used it. A few other things to note: the balcony door was difficult to open, there was no screen door, and the complimentary beach chairs are quite small and may not be comfortable for larger adults. The sheets also seemed too small for the mattresses and kept coming off the corners during the night, which made sleeping less comfortable, no mattress covers. The beach itself is beautiful but fairly small, so it becomes crowded quickly. One suggestion for future guests: please rinse the sand off before you are getting into the pool, I witnessed people rinsing off im the pool after beach then after 2-3 minutes they came out and went upstairs. The pool is not a shower and the sand on the bottom of the pool hurt. Also, once you're finished using the beach loungers, remove your towels instead of leaving them behind. It was difficult to tell which chairs were actually occupied and which were available because many loungers had towels left on them. Overall, this hotel has a fantastic location and several nice amenities, but better attention to room cleanliness and a few small improvements would make a big difference. * also bring water shoes, the rocks at the beach are very painful*
