Check in was pleasant, but restricted to business was hours without an extra fee. The house was roomy and clean for our family. The washer and dryer are in a small out building, not within the residence. But still not a huge inconvenience. Plenty of parking and amazing g beach access right off the deck. Overall a great stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Room with double beds is extremely hot.Although we appreciate the updated furniture, we were counting on pull out couch.Sliding doors need repair and curtains/blinds for the turtles sake.The kitchen table light did not work making evenings difficult, We don’t expect anything luxurious for the price but we do expect basic things like functional doors, lights, and cooling. Longtime family renters of this house.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is charming however I found myself dying to rearrange the furniture. In many places it disrupts the flow. And just FYI we were sitting on the swing one night & felt a huge vibration & a loud cracking sound. We got up to investigate & it looks like maybe the posts on the patio might need replacing. These are not complaints just observations.Oaur stay was wonderful! Love, love, love not carrying luggage up stairs. I am interested in Martini Del Mar as well. Does the exterior lift work?

Great location, lots of missed potential

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has so much potential that is being left on the ground. The location is absolutely fantastic, and the house has a lot of space for a large family! I love that it is right on the beach, and the windows make for a fantastic view. However, the house is very poorly maintained. We stayed in this house last year as well, and all of the issues we had and reported last year (and were told would be fixed) are still current issues. One of the sliding glass doors doesn’t work at all, the other is extremely difficult to open and close and comes off track easily. There are no curtains or blinds on the large sliding glass doors that face the beach, so during turtle season you are either forced to live in darkness once the sun goes down, or run the risk of endangering the turtle nests outside (of which there are FOUR directly behind the house this year). The outdoor spigot/shower leaks inside the wall (you can hear it at all times). The front screen door’s spring is so tight, the door has busted and it will slap you in the back real hard if you don’t watch it. When it rains, a LOT of water seeps in to the double bedroom, either through the window or just through the wall, I’m not sure. The beds and furniture in there are warped from getting wet so often. And because they put bed skirts on the bed, the first time it rained, the water pooled up so high it got the bed skirt wet and then the water climbed up the bed to get the bed sheets and mattress wet. Garbage disposal did not work, and the switch for the garbage disposal is in a very dangerous spot to begin with. Cabinet doors are falling off. There are multiple places on the porch and under the carport that are rotting and look on the verge of falling in. The water hose for the outdoor spigot is probably as old as me and is hardly functional.

Family Summer Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great vacation. The location was great. Close to everything and directly on the beach. I loved the large open floor plan and the view of the ocean from the sunroom. It is an older home and could use a few repairs. The front guest bedroom had a large leak in window by bed when it rained ;been like this a while because bed frames damaged). Air not working in vent over that bed near same window. Made room warm. Fans helped. The sliding glass forts need to be replaced. Handles broken and hard to open/close. Toilet in guest bathroom near ocean toilet needs to be bolted to floor. None of this impacted our stay in a negative way. I would stay there again. Problems just need to be addressed.

Huonoa: Listauksen paikkansapitävyys
I had a long history with this property. I stayed in this house when I was 30 years old. That was 27 years ago. It was one of the very few houses that is waterfront and doesn’t sit on stilts. It was old 27 years ago, but it was functional. Fast forward 27 years and the lack of maintenance to this house is disgraceful. There wasn’t a drawer or cabinet in the master bedroom that was useable. They would either fall out or had broken off handles on the drawers and cabinets. This same lack of maintenance was the same in the other bedrooms, kitchen and windows. The furniture and house decorations look like someone went dumpster diving and dropped their finds into this house. The owners of this house should be embarrassed. This house is screaming for someone to care just a little bit about it!

A great place to have a relaxing vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented Sandy Beach several times. The house has a great beach location. We knew going in that the kitchen didn’t have much to supply but who cares. This time there were not enough bowls for four people. Silverware was almost nothing. We had to fix the shower to even use it. The handle to the outside porch was still broken. When you pay for your family to have a vacation, you should have at least the basics. When we arrived most the dishes were dirty. They were put away not even washed by the previous renters. Really comforting durning a pandemic. We still had a great time but just a few cheap updates would have been nice. It just seemed very easy to make better and that is what made it frustrating.

Our beachside stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Grandchild kept getting stuck in the Bathroom because the door would stick in the unfinished jam. The sliding glass doors would not close completely and one side, besides not having door handles, would come out of the track and fall if opened. (After the first attempt, we dod not open that side for the duration of the stay.)Neither of the sliding glass doors had handles and the side we could open had to be lifted and tilted to close completely. Water damage all along the inside rear of the house was visually unappealing and looked as though it had mildew or mold on the paneling at floor level. One of the chairs around the table was split. The bathroom looked as though it had recently been painted but the sheet rock information could be read through the paint making it look unfinished.This was our second time staying in the house and love the location, but the home needs work. Although not as expensive as other properties, at $500 per day, the property should be better maintained.

Sandy Beach 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was the top positive. Beachfront and across the street from family. The house has a great layout. Spacious kitchen along with a living area and sunroom. The sunroom provided extra living space. For the negatives, the internet does not work consistently. TV is through streaming so my husband could not enjoy his vacation hobby. Underneath the beds needed cleaning. The sliding doors did not close without the wooden “lock.” Additionally a side door could not be opened. Blinds were old and broken. Need replacing. The last thing was the leaking through windows in a blowing rain. Water puddled in a front bedroom and soaked a suitcase. We enjoyed our stay but hope some issues are corrected for other renters. A living area window also leaked. Each bedroom had its own bathroom which was great. My yes recommendation comes with knowing it is a dated home. Location overcomes negatives.
