Fantastic Beach Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location! The house was large enough for 8 guests with wonderful views! The house was spacious and clean. Property MGT was friendly at check-in and check-out. Minor things were there were no dish towels and only 1 towel per person. Defiantly a great place to relax and enjoy the beach, I highly recommend.

Wonderful Get Away
I took my family to the beach where I spent my Summer vacations at Rio Del Mar. This house is right on the beach. It has lots of room for those that want to read and those that want to play video games. The kitchen was well equipped. It’s fun to sit out on the deck and watch people walking by with their dogs. The view of the ocean is right in front of you. Beautiful sunsets. I couldn’t have dreamed a better vacation. It took me back to my childhood 60 years ago!

Great location
Location is everything. Made up for lack of other things. Very bare bones house, not a lot of kitchen amenities, no spices or even pepper. No ziploc bags. Keurig machine but no pods. Coffee maker but no coffee. Lots of Knick knacks, but it gave it character. Would come back again.

Worst ever
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is crowded with so much “beach junk” that it is overwhelming. The home needs a deep clean, carpets are torn and roll at the edges, lights kept burning out, shutters in one room falling apart, guest bath toilet leaked from the bottom, molding fell off bathroom wall, a dining room chair was taped together with blue painters tape, windows were filthy inside and out, several of the pictures were so old there was no color, just pale blue outlines. The house sleep eight but only seven dining chairs......now I am getting picky, you get the idea.

Family Fun
Our family has headed to the beach every summer for almost 40 years now. With the location of this home, right on the sand, we decided to spend more time at the house and on the beach, and we absolutely loved it. We barbecued, built bonfires, sang songs and ate s’more‘s. It was such a great week with our kids and grandkids. Can’t wait until next year!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall this was a very good property and location. Upon arrival, you need to reach through the cut-out in the gate in order to open the gate, and then you get to the front door. The couch is a little tired. The beds were very comfortable and new. The kitchen is well appointed but some of the cooking utensils are a little tired but function just fine. Happy to see there are 2 coffee makers (Keurig and a Mr.Coffee) There is an extra beverage fridge in the living room. There are plenty of different socializing areas for large groups.The location is amazing. Behind the gate and beach front. Just what we were looking for.

Location Clearly Dictates Effort
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unbelievable location!! Just gorgeous!! a result the property is not updated or well maintained. The same issues we had a full year ago haven’t been corrected.. inexpensive ones such as a broken patio umbrella with a spine sticking out that isn’t stable and spins.. to a master bath with 3 bad lightbulbs and 4 more almost going... a main Smart TV where you have to push so hard on the remote to get it to work that it’s almost not worth it.. a fireplace that doesn’t work.. a side gate so rusty it doesn’t close. BAILEY should be embarrassed - it would be SO easy to make these very minor improvements and a year later exactly the same. Definitely won’t be staying at this property again.

Amazing house
We absolutely loved our few days in the house. The younger children loved playing in the sand right at the bottom of the stairs. The house had enough space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked. I have seen some previous reviews about the decorations. There are quite a few but they are cute and fun. I would recommend this house for sure.

Family annual beach trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family has stayed at tis same home for 7-8 years. We love the location and the home. However, it appears that it is time for the owner to do some maintenance repairs around the home. Some things are falling apart. Such as the siding on the house. Window coverings need replacing, update and clean the bed coverings. Just a good old fashion deep cleaning would help. Our time spent there is always A+. Thank you

Can’t beat a rental that is on the sand!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at this location. You just cant beat staying on the sand when you have little kids. Yes the decor is a bit eclectic but really, who cares with that view? My only suggestion for improvement would be having some lounge chairs/chaises on the rooftop deck. There was a small table and a couple chairs up there, but since the back deck doesnt have enough room for any, thatd be a nice spot. What I really appreciate is that this place is available to rent for less than a full week. Due to working, we only take mini vacations so this is definitely a selling point and we will 100% stay here again because of that alone. Thank you to the owners for sharing this rental with others!
