There was a hole in the wall, roaches in the sink, and the rugs were folded up when we first walked in.

Very nice
There’s no perfect place other than your own home! I give it a 5 bcz the host was spot on! Every time I asked a question I received a response within the hour. Also the place was clean and comfy. I would recommend a table in the bathroom to the right of the sink for personal things like toiletry bags etc. location was great. My friend and I were very pleased.

Wonderful place!
Very quiet and relaxing! Would highly recommended! — Pet friendly also, just know that the beach only allows dogs on the beach from 6-10am & 4-7pm, but if you go to Canova Beach Park, it’s a dog beach & only about 20 minutes from the Units.

Not a favorite
Poor beach access. Poor pet communication. Charged an extra 100 after we checked in. We had issues checking in and issues with the the door lock. Property was not secure. 2 Windows were left open. There were bugs. Refrigerator was too small. Living room carpet was stained and curled up. Tripping hazard. We requested a room on 4th street for the beach. Sent us to 6th st which was unexpected. No plug for bedroom lamp.
