Fine location, ample public space, kitchen could be better
Yes, there are a lot of steps to get to the beach and a winding staircase in the house so not best for everyone, but the view of the beach is great and there is a large screened in deck that makes the already ample living space even better. THe downstairs bedrooms have two double bed size bunkbeds which were not the most comfortable. There is a den on the bottom floor too with a TV that was nice for the teenagers. We had to go out and buy stuff for the kitchen. It is set up for a short stay or someone who doesn't plan to cook for a group. FYI: To the owners: A friend of my brother's, who is your neighbor, wrote a negative review that went under his name since he had booked it for your guest. It was not from him and he wouldn't have posted it! He didn't know about it till I rented the house and saw the review. Sorry.

Family vacation
The property was lovely. The bunk beds and spiral staircases were more of a challenge than we'd anticipated. It's more suitable for kids than adults. The on-site resident was not at all an issue for but think potential visitors should be made aware of that ahead of time. More towels would have been nice.

A good house for a large group of friends/family. Called about shower not working, and a worker came immediately to help! Only bad thing was the Dirty floors and very little guidance on parking

Horrible experience...
We found a person living in the back of the house. We were petrified. This is the most horrible experience I have ever had. We were deceived and never informed of this situation. I knocked on her door and told her I was calling the police. And a repairman showed up and we were gone for the day and we were never informed. My husband walked in and there he was. PLEASE DONT STAY IN THIS HOUSE YOU WON'T GET ANY SLEEP. And we couldn't find smoke detectors. We questioned this got no response. We asked to be relocated but all they had was much smaller place. To small for our group.

Great location, beautiful screened patio, easy walk to beach
We booked back in February, and were very excited for the upcoming trip, until we looked the day before our check in and saw the reviews about Kelly. I called the property management company and they assured us it would not be an issue. As the day approached we started hyping up the trip, as well as mentally picturing Kelly and her reaction to a house full of rowdy, “slightly” over weight and balding middle aged men on a fishing/guys trip. We envisioned befriending her, and late night Taco Bell runs, as we all sang Mellencamp. This would then blossom into an ongoing friendship that would lead to us being pals. I’m not sure what they did, but we heard no voices, no farts, and had no passive aggressive sticky notes about quiet time. Quite frankly, we were disappointed we didn’t get to meet Kelly. Despite no sign of her, and also an extremely wonky upstairs shower nozzle (should really fix that), we had a very enjoyable time. I would still rate 5-Star despite these two issues.

Another person lives in this house
There is another person living in this house. The posting does not say this, and the price is astronomical. Kelly lives in the cabin attached to the house. There is a very thin door between you and her. It was terrifying to suddenly hear someone clearly talking in the house our first night. When I grabbed my child and screamed ‘who’s here?’, I was completed astounded by her righteous reply that she LIVES here. You will hear her talk. You will hear her alarm in the morning. You’ll quickly get to know her work schedule. You’ll hear her fart. A loud one at 7:54 in the morning shook the entire house. You can’t open the door from your side but she can open it from hers. The fact that none of this is disclosed in the listing is, frankly, unethical and immoral. Don’t rent this house unless you want an extremely unwelcome roommate.
