Liked: Cleanliness
Very clean and open. Liked the layout of the main area, kitchen, and rooms. The ground level is very open and accommodates a lot of people and good parking. Only downside is the master bed was broken and leaning down on one side and made sleeping difficult for two people to sleep comfortably.

Quick Weekend away

This property was great, so close to the beach. Beds were comfortable, and the house was quiet.

Listing needs updating

Rental agency gave us the wrong lock-box code to start off, but they did get it remedied. Overall had a good stay, place was clean and as pictured. Listing was inaccurate on a few items, main issue was there was no fenced-in backyard as described, which we needed for our pup. (turns out neighbors had removed their adjoining side months ago), so 'pet friendly' turned out to be quite a hassle when letting the pup out. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful. There were no batteries in any of the remotes, so we had to run to Dollar General (right behind the house). TV's in the bedrooms aren't connected to any cable, satellite, etc. so can't use them (except one had a built-in DVD player, but again, no working remote). Listing says laundry is downstairs in garage, but it is actually upstairs right off the kitchen. Also TONS of chotchke décor EVERYWHERE, couldn't use tables, counters, bar space without moving it all (but that's pretty nit picky). Overall we had a fun weekend w/ family, but definitely need to update the listing description, or fix the errors at the rental.
