Flew from Georgia, great place with a nice balcony for sunsets/sunrises. Check in was easy, outside area by pool was clean. Overall a great experience for a weekend away
Communication was good.Washer and dryer not good.Bring your own grill, their's not good but gets the job done.Had to wait till after 5 to check in.We drove to the beach in our truck instead of using the beach walkway, trust me its better to just drive to the beach than carrying your stuff and walk a good distance to the beach.Pool was small. We got a day pool pass to the resort next to us, worth it.Their community rec room was in need of upgrading. It was adequate enough but nothing close to a 5 star.
Plenty of space for everyone (tiny kitchen though) and huge balcony. This isn't a brand new home nor anything fancy, but it does the job as a beach house. The description states and is accurate in mentioning it's 3rd floor with no elevator. It is NOT really walkable to the beach though. I mean, TECHNICALLY, you can walk there, but it takes about 20 minutes through some terrain with snake warnings and then a boardwalk, and you wouldn't want to carry all your stuff. Also, bring a white noise machine if you're sensitive to noise as the traffic from the road gets pretty loud. Communication with host was easy breezy. DO bring your own beach towels! Pool, hot tub, and grill was nice. No major issues, just some minor inconveniences. Overall, worth it for the price we paid!
The PROS of staying at this location:
-it is a small complex which means it is not overly crowded with other families who are vacationing which makes it nice
-the pool, hot tub, and game room were nice features. it would have been nice if the pool was actually cool vs. luke warm
-the A/C in the room was fantastic - especially for how hot and humid it is outside
-the kitchen was nice and had everything needed for meal time
-property mgmt responded timely to text requests
CONS:
-the front door I stayed in looked like someone tried to break in. It did not look secure at all even with it locked. I had to place my cooler in the doorway to provide a barrier in case someone did try and kick in the door
-the flooring was uneven and a safety hazard. Many places where the flooring was not flush and led to tripping hazards
-the master bedroom needs a box spring. Very low to the ground.
-the room we were in faced the main road. You can hear every semi-truck, truck, car, motorcycle passing by. During the day it is not an issue, but at night when we were trying to sleep led to sleepless nights. I recommend they invest in sound proof doors and windows.
-they also need to offer more blankets and pillows. I had to request extra blankets for our room. This should not be an issue for a VRBO stay
-the washer and dryer (especially the dryer) do no work. We had tried to dry certain clothes/towels and it did not work. They need to upgrade these appliances
Very big veranda, but this property was not a pool view as described. I did gave a great view if sunset and Laguna Madre. The rooms were great, excellent room in kitchen living room. Very enjoyable stay. There is beach access. However it is a long walk to the dunes, then climb stairs to cross the dunes. There needs to be some clean up at the trash barrel by the stairs. Looked horrible. The beach is great
Great location with access to the beach. Very nice property with updates. Overall very positive experience and Iâm going home refreshed. There is an opportunity for the management agency to improve communication. Exterior construction was scheduled and I had to notify them of the work and damages to the unit (primarily a window).
This place is a dump. It was not cleaned from the previous stay. Hair in the sink of the hall bathroom. Dirt pile left under the kitchen table. No door shelves on the refrigerator side, except for 2....inconvenient! Dishwasher wobbled it's way out from under the sink. We only wanted to sit the dishes in there to dry. And there is a huge mess of food particles and dirt on the side of the dishwasher....considering it moves out enough to see the trash. The Keurig does not work. And this unit does not face the pool like the pictures make it look like. Overall, will not be back. Total disappointment. I'm glad we brought our own cleaning supplies. Signed,
Will not return
Update on checkout day. They did replace the Keurig with a new one. They brought a new tower fan to replace the broken one. They apologized for the uncleanness.
Everything was great, except the mattress main bedroom was hard and uncomfortable. Also the dryer takes 4 cycles to dry clothes. The boardwalk to the beach was much further away than the picture depicted. However; all and all, it was really nice.
