Needs work
The place is beautiful but is in of some repairs. One of the bar stools was broke. The foot board in one of the downstairs bedrooms had been broke and was put back together with some type of cement. It is very tricky to lock the back door that goes out to the patio. Upon arrival, we knew that a tropical storm was coming. There was a guy there fixing to move in all of the outside furniture. That would have left no room inside the house. We assured him that we would bring it in closer to the storms approach that wasn't until Wednesday. One in of the table was broke and some of the windows needs to be replace. Hope this helps some. But over all it is in a great location and the beach was wonderful.

NOT GOOD AT ALL
Dishwasher doesn't work, back door had to be locked with a ratchet strap (I have pictures). Ice machine doesn't work, 3 out of the 5 beds were broken and screwed back together. Puke stains all over the floor, Air conditioning was terrible, house stayed at 75 degrees the whole time we were there. The lower level looked like a bomb went off, stuff from the previous people just scattered everywhere. We actually had to clean that lower level up and also the indoor area before we actually move into it. We went a whole week with a ratchet strap on the back door to be able to ensure our safety on that door. Will definitely never stay there again!!

Great House--Poor Upkeep
The house suited our needs, but not our expectations. It was in much need of repair and updating. The upstairs carpet was terribly stained, the master shower did not drain well, wood was worn everywhere, and everything was in need of attention. We called right after check-in to address the following: 1. kitchen cabinets were missing many pulls 2. the ice maker in the refrigerator didn't work because the filters were clogged 3. the stand-alone ice maker made so much noise it had to be turned off Beach Ball Properties responded quickly to our call and sent a tech to address the issues but could only change the filters in the refrigerators and put on some random pulls on cabinets and drawers. The stand-alone ice maker could not be fixed until the following week.

Not luxury for the price
This house would be glorious if it was well maintained! There were holes in the walls when we arrived. We called about it and a very nice guy came and repaired. 1)Needs a deep cleaning 2)Main floor king bedroom bath needs toilet cleaning. Black mold growing under the rim and in tank. It had to be plunged numerous times to flush.The sinks and tubs don’t drain very well. 3)Carpet in entire house is filthy and very stained. Broken tiles on porch. 4)There is nowhere to put open luggage. No hangers in closets so we bought some and left them there. TV doesn’t work in king bedroom downstairs. No hooks or adequate towel racks in the bathrooms or porch. 5)Dishwasher puts a terrible film on the dishes. Icemaker doesn’t work. Filters on fridges need replacing. 6)There is room for 3 cars in carports if you remove a tree in front of one entrance and do some trimming of bushes blocking the 3rd. 7)The porch would be great if the cushions were clean and not stained. 8)The steps off the porch caused injury to several of us. The repair was done but only for the worst of it. We still encountered more nails sticking up on the rotten steps that didn’t get replaced. Very dangerous! The tile was replaced on the porch while we were there but frustrated with construction while we were paying for a vacation. 9)The bed in the queen bedroom was patched together with Bondo and not attractive. There was a very rusty table on upper balcony when we arrived that they removed but left us with nothing.

Great location, good bones, just needs some major TLC
12 of us stayed for a week, 6 adults and 6 teen girls. The house is in a perfect location. It was just steps away from the beach and short drives or walks to restaurants depending on how far you want to venture out. The beach was busy enough to entertain our teens, but not so busy that it interrupted the peace the adults were hoping for. The house in general was perfect for us. Kitchen was where we gathered most often and it was open to the rest of the space allowing us all to be together enjoying cooking meals and playing games.There was plenty of seating between the barstools and nice big table. The two refrigerators were very much appreciated and the ice maker kept up with our needs most of our stay! Both fridges were missing door shelves that made organizing it a little more difficult but not a big deal. The size of the rooms and bathrooms were good enough for us. The house has so much potential it just honestly needs some major maintenance and better cleaning. The kitchen floor had popcorn and dead bugs upon checking in, carpets were really gross. Outside deck boards were an accident waiting to happen with nail heads sticking up and boards warped and splintering. The deck railing was also a hazard as it was not secure in one area. Lower patio space could be so cute but was just a cluttered mess. I don’t mind staying in a place that needs upgrades as long as it feels clean and organized. The house did not feel clean or organized in the least.

Okay stay.
It was very spacious and we loved that it was right on the beach. We didn’t feel it was as clean as it could have been and we did see a couple of cockroaches while we were there. A couple things could be replaced as a few appliances were broken/not working properly. For how much you pay - everything should work and be 100% clean.

Wasn’t what we expected
We stayed here around the same time last year. It was AH-MAZING! This year was a disappointment. When our party got there the A/C drip pan had over flowed and flooded the hallway. They weren’t going to come fix it until a few days later- until I asked for an alternative. Maintenance came but didn’t fix it. So we had to empty the drain pan a few times while we were there. Not to mention they never dried out the sopping wet carpet. The icemaker in the island didn’t work and the maintenance guy was aware because we were told not to turn it on or it will pour water. The ice maker in one of the fridges worked but you couldn’t get the dispenser to work. We found a roach in the laundry room downstairs and then a HUGE live one in the laundry room upstairs. Cooking pans were not clean and had residue on them and we had to soak them and clean them before use. Also the ONLY TV’s that had a ROKU or worked was the main Arab downstairs and the master. We even tried to get the maintenance guy to help get them working and he said they weren’t hooked up to cable or ROKU/FIRESTICK- as advertised. For the amount of money we paid to stay here- almost double from last year- I would expect it to be WAY cleaner and things working that were “amenities”. Super disappointed this year.

Fun Times on the Beach
I have been renting through VRBO for several years. I like being able to have a house on the beach with enough bedrooms and baths for my large family. We had some maintenance problems but not enough to dampen our spirits about the house. Layout of bedrooms and bathrooms, seating both on the porch and inside for lounging and eating was fantastic.

Great location, but photos misleading and property in need of substantial repairs and deep cleaning
Can't beat the location but pictures posted are clearly years old and the property has years of deferred maintenance and water issues. Back door is warped and doesn't fully close and lock. Railings and decks need power washing. Deck chair pillows were so dirty we couldn't even sit there. Nails popping out of stairs that lead to beach, careful when barefoot. Featured firepit was on side of house loaded with cigarette butts and beer cans and not usable. Plastic on windows, I assume placed to minimize sun damage, was in bad condition, distorted view to gulf and dripped with condensation. AC vent in ceiling of MBR over the bed drips condensation onto the bed (and my forehead), badly stained carpets and a badly rotted window sill and the shower had black gunk. Yes, many dishes and utensils but most dishes were dirty and when we went to use dishwasher there was broken glass and beer bottle tops blocking the drain. Five day stay. Mgt was pleasant but not immediately available since we checked in on a Saturday and, though they refunded two days, our stay was disappointing. This home must have been beautiful when it was built but needs much work and proper cleaning and new linens and unstained pillows and carpet, and a refresh to justify the price level. thanks.

Great location
This was an excellent place for our 11-person family to spend the week of Christmas. The rental company was very easy to work with and responsive. Though the carpet was stained in places and the couches were a bit tattered, that didn't affect our stay all. Overall the house was fantastic! We loved the large ocean-view porches and there was plenty of seating for all both at the table and in the living room. The bedrooms were big with lots of beds and the four bathrooms were a huge plus. We would absolutely stay here again!

Right on the beach - but deferred maintenance issues
Great location. We rented early-mid August so a little deferred maintenance is to be expected- we get that the owners have to turn the unit quickly in high season. However, what we found was gum stuck to the carpets, several stains on the carpet, one thermostat pulled out of wall and hanging from wires, and the whole place stunk like weed. Property management was extremely responsive - they did what they could and fixed the plugged up sink we found on arrival within 12 hours of request. Overall, we enter this place for the location and it didn’t disappoint. Would have been nicer without the issues mentioned but it was fine.
