We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The location is just beyond the condo properties, so it is very close to all the shopping and restaurants. The pool is lovely and was a great way to spend our evenings on the deck.

Great place to stay!

We had a group of 7 and we had plenty of room, clean, pool was great and the heater was a perfect option. We didn't need to contact the company much but when we did they were responsive, helpful and always friendly. Would recommend and will use harris again when traveling to these areas.

Nice stay

Overall, the property was good. Space was good, location and parking excellent. The property needs some tlc in regards to finishes touched up, wear and tear tended to, and a good deep cleaning. The space was great for our family, and the location right on the beach was great.

Great location, beach is beautiful. We stayed before the touristy, party crowd. New deck rails were nice but it blocked the beautiful beach view from the porch. Personally I would search for a single home and not two connected. Excellent communication with rental place!

Property/location was amazing, our group had a wonderful time! Only complaint is we were lead to believe there was a “heated” pool. The ‘for an additional fee’ should have been made more clear when booking. All and all our group would love to return!

Spring break 2024

We had an amazing stay! The house is in a perfect location and close to most everything. Rooms are very nice. Pool was nice though had a lot of sand in the bottom. They came and put chemicals in but didn't clean it out, seems they would have since sand was visible in the bottom. That's really the only complaint.

Beach house B

Great views but doors barely latch and rain comes in. Dryer is held together with duct tape. Had to buy a skillet to cook with. Never had to buy trash bags, toilet paper, or paper towels but did at this house. Found a cockroach. Floors are uneven with soft spots. We travel all over and this house was a disappointment.

We enjoyed our stay here.

The wifi was terrible. Cut in and out constantly. Kids wanted to watch tv and it would cut in and out. The main living room tv was difficult and couldn’t get regular tv channels. Which this didn’t make our stay bad but could be improved for future guests.

Family vacation

Communication with Harris properties was awesome. Always got back to me super fast. Prime location. Beautiful views. Very clean linens. however the couches were awfully filthy. The rugs were very very stained and gross. The yard had garbage, beer cans, wood, and so much more all over the place. The dryer door did not close. Someone came to put in a new deck door and it did not work at all. Lots of odds and ends needed fixing such as trim not finished, towel holders falling out of the wall, etc.

Directly on beach!

Enjoyed our close to the beach location. Pool was great as well as ocean. We had to try three codes before we got one that worked! The house setup was good and great due to bathrooms being with each bedroom. The noise level from neighbors running in the halls was bothersome. The bedrooms were all great. Only problem we had was third floor bathroom ceiling fixture fell out of ceiling. Also first and second floor outside doors leaked like sieves when raining. There was a paucity of window treatments so we spent time staring at neighbors and vice versa. Ice maker could not keep up. I must say for the price I paid not reflective of what house should have been!

Not bad but could use some maintenance

It was overall, okay. However, it seemed like the owners might have rushed to throw the place together. Numerous small things… There were several windows without blinds- our neighbors could see straight into our bedroom. There were no pictures on the walls. There were no lounge chairs by the pool. The pool leaked. The outlet in the main level bathroom stopped working. But more importantly, the pool had rough edges all around the rim, just below the surface. All of our children had cuts and scrapes as a result. The deck wasn’t sealed, causing everyone to get splinters in their feet.

Nice, but Needs Maintenance and Amenities

The location of the property is terrific--right on the beach and the pool is great. Our family of 6 had a wonderful time. I do note that year old reviews raised several items in need of repair that management said they'd look into, but were still outstanding and very annoying: the wifi went out 3-5 times each day; the door to the deck leaked and water puddled on the floor from the rain; electric outlet in the great room and 2nd floor beachside bathroom were not properly attached; the door to the deck and the exterior door on the 2nd floor balcony stuck so that you couldn't open them quietly for an early morning walk on the beach without waking the household; the 3rd floor bathroom faucet was loose, trash in the yard, rusty broken fence, etc. The management team responded quickly when we called about 2 broken chairs, but they need to have a maintenance manager go through the house and check operation of the doors, both interior and exterior, electric, etc. It would be make the place more enjoyable to have additional items that you can't bring on an airplane: beach towels and toys, umbrella, folding chairs, etc.
