The home has a lot of potential, and we enjoyed our stay. The pool and back porch are very enjoyable. And it does have a distant view of the ocean. It also had a nice mattress in the main bedroom, and had a lot of fun toys, games, and things there for the family to use.
I typically avoid making reviews that are negative, but I do need to share that the home was advertised as being recently updated. This was clearly not true. It might have been updated 10 years ago. It also had a broken oven with the door falling off, a cooktop that didn’t work, and the refrigerator had also broken and was replaced with a small refrigerator that didn’t have a freezer. We were celebrating my mothers 76 birthday, so this made it difficult to do things like ice cream or cook meals for the family.
We reached out to the owner/manager about the concerns, and our requests were essentially ignored, and when we did finally get a response, we were told that a credit would be issued. But he could not give specifics, and had to wait until after he was paid by VRBO first. We patiently waited, and then we’re told no credit would be issued.
I feel we would have been able to give a good review if the manager had simply been honest about the property not actually updated, and made some kind of attempt to help us with the cook top. But it was actually insulting when we were promised a credit for our troubles and then no credit was issued.
