House was perfect for our large family! We had plentiful of room to spread out and the beach was just steps away. We will definitely love to return again.
Gorgeous house and property, made lifetime memories here
The house is as depicted, beautifully appointed and roomy. Checking in and out was as easy as possible, and the hosts were responsive.Linens (sheets, towels, etc) arenât included with the rental, so people will have to either bring their own or do what we did, get the bundle through Linen Ladies. It seemed a bit pricey at first, but there are a LOT of beds, and we got a variety of towels in the bundle, as well. We had extended family visiting from all over the country with no way to bring enough linens, so the convenience was well worth it. Linen Ladies was great. Timely, organized, everything super clean.Now for the fun stuff! Everyone loved spending time on the back deck, relaxing and chatting while listening to the sounds of the bay, and meandering down to the beach. Itâs really idyllic, and the sunsets are gorgeous from there. The dining room is big enough for large groups to be seated comfortably, and great to play games in the evening. The family room was where we were we at when we were inside just to lounge and watch TV or catch an afternoon nap, comfy and great viewThe fenced in sand yard was awesome - our dogs could wander around, and my 2 year old great-nephew just wanted to be there with his toy trucks. My nephew kept saying how amazing it was that his son was so happy to play by himself for so long, with us watching from the deck.Thank you, Crystal, for a vacation that enabled us to blend generations and make wonderful memories for a lifetime!
House was Great perfect size for our family - beach was amazing. Only a couple things I wish were different but I may be different than the next person. Already looking at dates to book again next year.
I had a large group of families and friends. Everyone loved staying here. felt comfortable, and enjoyed time together. The house was beautiful, right off the bay, all fenced, even my furry baby liked running in sand. The owner was promptly communicative. Teens went to movie theater and arcade for fun. A huge wallmart was 10 mins away. I would love to come back!
The home is spacious, beautifully decorated, was directly in the beach, and had amazing views. There were plenty of beds, pillows, and blankets, and the beds were comfortable. The home was set-up well for a large group, providing adequate parking, and large spaces where we could all eat and lounge together. We loved being just a sand dune away from the water. However, there were a few things that made our trip a little less relaxing. Although lines were listed as included on vrbo amenities, linens were a separate expense booked through an outside vendor. This changed the cost of the rental for our party, added extra overhead to planning, and required making our own beds when we arrived. We were looking for a place with a hottub, and this listing was included in the search. There is no hottub, Iâm not sure if it is a bug with vrbo, or an issue of how the house is listed, or if the jet bathtubs are counted as a hottub.The fire pit also did not work. We had the very end of every household supply (trash bags, dish detergent, toilet paper, laundry detergent). When we reached out regarding this, we were told that they only âstart us offâ and that we were responsible for the consumable goods beyond that. This added to the mental load of an already logistically complicated and short trip.Overall we had a wonderful time but recommend being prepared with extra supplies.
This a safe house for dogs and children with bay beach access, great location, and lots of room. We would definitely recommend it and want to go back. The owners have done an excellent job in every way.
The property was very spacious and could accommodate our entire family of 14. Having a private backyard of sand allowed the young kids to play the entire time. The chairs and beds were comfortable, but very low to the ground, which was difficult for the adults.
Property was great. Lots of room, great location. Lots of local stores and stuff to do. Property manager was great.
Now for the bad news. The house is decorated in black and white. Not the best color selection for a beach house. There is some wear and tear. Furniture and rugs had stains, the utensil drawer was really difficult to open and close, the stove top was cracked and had glass splinters. The gas grill - while was able to be lit - would only go to 250 degrees. A root was sticking up at the gate leading to the beach which caused us to trip a number of times. The living room has a great table but the chairs are short cylinders with no backs which was a bit difficult for us older folks and there is limited lighting in the room which makes post sunset game playing difficult.
The worse part was we were charged an additional cleaning fee. The cleaning people subsequently said the house was "trashed" with little supporting documentation. We had sent pictures of stained and broken things over the first day or so but stopped taking pictures of stained stuff since we were told that the place was going to be steam cleaned the following week. There was conflicting directives of what to do with the bedding at the end of the week. The lease said to make the beds, the house rules on the fireplace said to strip the beds.
We also asked for early check-in since the house was vacant for 2 days. Owners would not agree. Renters beware!!
House and location were perfect. Very private. Neighbors but not in obtrusive way. House was very spacious . The low beds were tricky and the dining table seats were down right ridiculous for a kid friendly house but we didnât spend time indoors. The fenced in yard was amazing for toddlers and dogs. Close easy access ti the water.
Ideally located on top of the dunes with direct access to the beach from the fenced in sand filled back yard. Perfect for kids of all ages! My husband and I travelled up from Florida to meet with my son and daughter and kids from 3 to 16. The layout of the house was exactly what our family of 12 needed. Plenty of space and privacy!
Perfect spot for a family celebration. This house has large rooms, there were 10 adults, 3 teenagers and some littles and we had plenty of space to spread out. Views from the deck couldnât be beat and the beach was fantastic! I wish we had been able to stay longer.
The house is beautifully decorated. We had a group of 15 and it was the perfect amount of space. Great view. Room with the windows is beautiful. I would suggest adding screens to the windows. It is not handicap accessible. Communication is wonderful. Great stay!
Our group of 14 had the best stay at this house. Our ages ranged from 78-2.5 and everything was amazing. Remote check in was a breeze and all the people at Coastline realty were so helpful before the trip. First off the sunset bay location, the incredible view, and fenced in sand yard was worth the booking alone. The house is beautifully decorated but also functional enough for little kids not to get into trouble. The back room surrounded in windows, which we deemed the "nap room", was gorgeous and so cozy in the late afternoon when the sun would warm up the space. We also loved the fact that we could all fit around the dining room table! The upstairs bunk room worked well for the older kids (in their young 20s) they loved feeling like kids again and reuniting with their cousins. Sincerely hoping this place will be available again next year!
We had 18 family members from 2 yrs to 68 yrs stay very comfortably at this location for a weekend. We also had 2 dogs. The property has a lot of space to relax, socialize, eat, sleep and have fun. The view of the bay is terrific. I'd highly recommend this for a large family!
We loved this property. It was a great house that fit all of our family members. Sunsets were beautiful and it was so nice to have the beach so close. House came with chairs we could throw on our backs that added to our ease of getting to the beach.
Cleaning of the house could improve , small details like dirt around door knobs and cabinet knobs.
Bathroom door on second floor at end of the hall closes too tight which results in difficulty and noise when the door is opened.
Dishwasher needs repair
Door to garage from the kitchen does not securely close or lock, it is dangerous for children, if they lean on the closed door it will open and they could fall down the stairs⊠we had a 3 year old and a walking one year old, so we had to baracade the door.
This home was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we could ask for. The beach chairs and sand toys were very helpful. The views and the location on the Bay Beach were fantastic! Loved the sunsets and evening walks on the beach. The fenced in sand yard was perfect for our young granddaughter and for lots of games for everyone.
The Bay water was not very swimable as it was murky and we saw lots of jellyfish and horseshoe crabs on the beach. And the beds in the house were all very hard. Mattress toppers would be a great addition.
But we would absolutely go back to this location! We had a wonderful extended family vacation.
