Amazing place in its day!!
Beautiful views, lots of room, interesting architecture and lovely setting. Unfortunately, it needs a lot of TLC due to leaks, and simply being quite old. It doesn’t appear it’s used a lot. Ants were prevalent, especially in the master bath and others.. A few cockroaches were in the closets also. Might need fumigation. Even though those were the issues, my friends, and I enjoyed our stay, regardless of the crummy weather. fumigation.

Horrible Safety Hazard and Roach infestation
The location is great but the house is in serious need of repair and maintenance. Rust everywhere, dry rot in most of the windows a partially collapsed ceiling- which had half of it barely hanging and ready to fall. To complete the nightmare we killed more than six large roaches in two days. We left after the second night and got a hotel Asking for a refund but the owner is dragging her feet. VRBO needs to step in and get my money back. This is not an executive retreat. It’s a nightmare. Help VRBO!!! If I don’t get my money back I will report her and the service to the city as a health hazard.

Lack of toilet paper
Loved the location of this house!! Just be aware that even though it lists that it comes with paper towel and toilet paper - ONLY one roll of toilet paper is given per bathroom and one roll of paper towel in the kitchen. That's all. If you want more, you must provide them yourself.

Girls' Weekend
The location is amazing. The house has a lot of deferred maintenance. The walkway to the beach was very dangerous. Loose or missing railings... sagging boards that were so loose we were scared to put weight on them. Stairs that when you stepped on them shifted under your weight. Also two of the bathrooms had not been cleaned prior to our arrival (toothpaste in sinks and hairs everywhere). We had a great time, the elevator made it easy to bring in our luggage, etc., just wish the accommodations had been in better condition.

Awesome beach getaway
This house is an awesome place to get away and relax. There are some issues with the house itself, such as part of the ceiling missing and exposed insulation, but nothing that interfered with the security or comfort of the home. The host did advertise a jacuzzi tub, but the jacuzzi function did not work. Outdoor hot tub was also out of service. Apart from those issues, we had a pleasant stay. The neighborhood is nice, and is close to many great restaurants and attractions.

The cleaning was not good. We had to mop the kitchen floor so we would not stick to it. No hot water up in the master bedroom. Hot tub was not filled could not use, also seen exposed wiring that look to be live. The condition of the deck was horrible was afraid my grandchildren would get hurt on it. The ants were horrible in the whole house. Was shocked that we only received one key to the house.

Interesting House in a great location.
We had a great long weekend in this rental home. The owner was friendly and communicated well. The location was amazing. The only notable issue was the house needs a little TLC. It was showing its age a bit, however, it didn't significantly affect our stay. We would definitely go back!

The location was awesome! The dolphins gave us a show everyday! The house has a truly unique feel. The elevator was a help to get our stuff upstairs to all the floors. The kitchen was well stocked with all of our needs. The staircase ensured that we got our steps in everyday. The house needs some repairs but our host Lori is making them happen. Lori was extremely easy to contact and communicate with.

A house loaded with character, amazing oceanside location!
The gorgeous ocean view (generously sprinkled with dolphins) from the large deck and wall of windows make a stay in this home very special. Located in a lovely neighborhood, we enjoyed using the home’s large kitchen and gas grill (who needs to go out to dinner with a view like that). There are multiple spaces for dining, playing cards and spending time together. The owner (who is local) was very responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

Spacious With Awesome Views
Great location and spacious house right on the ocean! The amount of space and uniqueness of the house was awesome for our family's desires. The house is in need of some TLC repairs/updates and just with any place you rent nothing is going to be perfect. Most importantly, you are at the beach and even when not on the beach you have awesome views of the beach from the house including watching the sun rise in the morning! We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Excellent Location
The architecture was very unique. Reminded us of a Frank Loyd Wright design. Breathtaking view… see dolphins surfacing several times every day! The most exceptional aspect of the property is the view- I would strongly encourage whoever stays here to gets up for the sunrise! Side note: On the middle floor, I would suggest fixing the sliding doors - remove the hanging handle, Attach the loose tile in the second bedroom . Provide an instruction manual for basic appliances- : Gen-air, TV, Sauna master bedroom, jacuzzi, resetting WI-FI locations. Locations of thermostats. Overall- exceptional- view- beach- access to basic needs- wonderful neighborhood to take walks- ease of access.

Amazing location; reno needed
The location of the house was amazing! Several guests are 80+ so being on the beach was wonderful! We were disappointed at the wear on the house. Ceiling had water damage and plaster falling; elevator shaft has definitely not been cleaned. Issues with door to deck in one room; almost fell on guests when they tried to close it. Responsiveness of owner was good in regards to questions but still low rating due to overall condition of the house.

Different than expected but good overall
In town for an event during very early spring. Overall it was fun, easy, comfortable and laidback. However looking at the pictures we thought this was a lavish place. It might have been MANY years ago. I do not feel that the place is well maintained. Nothing horrible, just quirky things. Ceiling falling down in one section, cabinet door broken and some of the veneer coming off. Door to outside in dormitory room broken. Window in master bedroom broken (wont close well). Deck is VERY rickety and feels unsafe in many areas. Many lights do not work. I feel that property is slightly more complex than others and it would be helpful for the owner to do a walkthrough and instructional or provide written instructions. Elevator was a huge help at check in/out given the crazy stairs. Art and decor is VERY cool. View was fabulous along with amazing beach access. Short drive to the VB city etc. Lovely community. Overall we enjoyed ourselves once we got acclimated.

Best Girls Weekend Getaway!
We have had the pleasure of staying in this awesome home for 4 years in a row. Every September our book club gets together to relax and to enjoy this oceanfront retreat. With two large dining tables we are all able to eat together and keep the other for doing puzzles and crafts. The beach is not crowded so you feel like its a secret that not many people know about. The house is large enough that all 9 of us fit comfortably and don't feel like we are on top of each other. We love the elevator because we load all of our stuff in and it takes it right to our floor. No lugging bags and groceries in this house. The best part? The views of course! I think the owner must hire dolphins to swim by every hour because it is amazing how many we get to see. Already looking forward to September 2016.

Misleading images
The only positive thing about this house was the view of the ocean and the nice neighborhood! The previous review problems are all still there. The gaping hole in the ceiling exposing insulation, pipes & wires; the very unsafe deck with uneven boards and wobbly railings; all the sliding doors have an issue whether they don't lock at all or can't even be opened. Water was dripping in at the living room glass door, significantly, during a rain which also lead to a leak in the third floor ceiling leaving a huge puddle on the ceramic tile floor that caused a huge safety issue. There's also a huge crack in a window that looks like at any moment it'll come crashing down. The master suite shower is quite dangerous to climb into without safety handles to grab onto. All the tables in the living area are glass tops with sharp edges....so families with small children beware. The very first day a cockroach was discovered in the kitchen which left the rest of the family weary of wanting to eat in. The kitchen is also missing a base cabinet and another is duct taped together. Still there are missing light bulbs, exposed light fixtures and switches that don't seem to operate anything. The downstairs "dormitory room" has a horrible, horrible odor and is not fit to sleep in especially if someone has a respiratory situation. The unfinished, plywood walk-in closets are very odd. Not sure what's going on with this property, but it'll rent due to it's location....and that's a shame!
