Quick weekend get away
4/5 Overall nice property, spacious enough for us, comfortable. Good location for what we were looking for. I understand this( prob only have weekly pick up ) but outside trash was overflowing and smelled so, so bad. Made being outside unpleasant. I would have someone get it more than once a week. The pool was nice to have but was full of sand( I get that too, even though there is an outdoor shower) and kind of dirty. Looked like at some point there had been an auto pool cleaner but it was out of the pool and didn’t look like it had worked in awhile. My husband netted the best he could. Also grill was super filthy and brush to clean was awful. We never figured out the lift either ( although I saw the email we were supposed to print, sign and send back a waiver…too late once we got there) Overall it was a nice place, very quiet area and not a far drive to beach. Would stay here again.

Manager's Response:
From the Owner: "Cindy, thank you for your comments. I wish you had contacted Crystal about the trash at the very beginning so we could have taken care of it right away. And yes, we had a Polaris pool sweep that was broken by the guest before you. I’m so sorry you didn’t get to use the lift—it’s a must! The insurance company does require the waiver. There’s no excuse for the grill; it should have been cleaned before you arrived. We invite you back with the promise to make your experience 100% positive. Again, thank you for your comments."
4/5 Great the second time around
5/5 This is the second summer for us to rent this property. It is great for our needs. In very nice condition and very well appointed and stocked with all your short-term needs. The pool in the afternoon, after a morning at the beach, is a great combination. The lift for moving your stuff up and down is a must! Great support from the local representative and owner.
Manager's Response:
Ted...Thanks for returning, and thanks for the glowing 5-star review...especially regarding the lift. I agree it's a must. We hope you'll come back for a "Third Time's a Charm" experience. Be blessed!

Nice pool to cool off in
5/5 Close drive to the beach or convenience stores. Nice pool to cool off in. Property manager and owners responded to a small issue promptly and took care of it.
