Our stay was great. Walking distance to the beach and food. Only downside is the parking and the wifi. If you’re using the internet for anything but wifi on your phone it’s worthless. The beds were comfortable, the home was clean and 3 nice rooms. Would stay again.

Quite and peaceful stay
Enjoyed our time here, had a much needed relaxing weekend. Location is on the channel were the property management has a noise ordinance to sign. If you want to have a quiet and restful stay this is the place. Would recommend to have the mattresses replaced, they were not comfortable.

Location is amazing, this was our second stay. Outside of building is a bit faded & could use some TLC, but the inside is very much like the pictures. Some of the furniture is well worn but the property management company came & tightened the dining room chairs for us immediately. Plenty of room for a larger group. No a/c so we brought additional fans to help with the humidity & heat. Great place for a family vacation!

Upstairs Unit + Mirrors
Beautiful spot. Sleeps 6 in beds, other 2 are small cushions to sleep on the floor (likely great for little ones). We received a noise complaint (on a Thursday at 4:30 when my older and younger sister welcomed me to the house) and I had a snarky discussion/call with the management, rental company’s employee after calling back mortified from our conplaint we received. Employee stated “video” was sent to them - excuse me? That’s creepy. Half star taken from this. No privacy in the kitchen area - no curtains, which we realized at night. (Fish bowl feel) Only 2 mirrors (bathroom mirrors) in the whole unit which is fine but when all 6 of us were getting ready… we realized there could be one or two more in the unit. Might sound odd to suggest but one or two more mirrors would be beneficial for guests. Half star taken from that. Oh- next door: the house is a hoarder. Junk piled in the windows, side area… very creepy. Hope the review helps future visitors.

Very close to the beach, walk to restaurants
This beach house is in a great location and we loved being able to walk to the beach. Be prepared to bring literally everything you may need. There are very few things in the kitchen, no hairdryer or soaps, and only one roll of paper towels and only a few plastic trash bags. We were a little disappointed that there were broken things in the house and the photos made it look a lot more well-kept. The house is in a great spot and has a great view but the rules are very restrictive. We were there over spring break and St. Patrick's day and although we were threatened with following the quiet rules (in writing, after we signed up through vrbo) there were neighbors talking and partying until the morning every day. Although we had a nice time, some upgrades on the house are due and the threatening rules could be reconsidered.

Condo was as described. The beds were comfortable and location was very convenient. I do think the patio furniture could use some new cushions and rugs could be cleaned. Overall I would stay here again, kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. Loved the easy access to the beach.

A lovely location
A lovely location and great for exploring the area by bike. The managing agents were easy to contact and quickly organised missing wine glasses for us! We were disappointed in the kitchen equipment- crockery badly scratched and looked old as well as missing cutlery. There were no plugs for sinks that worked so not easy to use the sinks or bath! Sinks in bathrooms smelly and no cleaners left anywhere. It needs a little updating and love to bring it up to a better standard. Not quite the standard we had expected.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Great location, quick walk to beach and close to restaurants. The unit was cute and spacious, with a a nice kitchen. However, for the price point, I think some of the furnishings should be updated and the patio could use some attention/remodeling.

Do not stay here
We were willing to pay a higher price on vrbo versus airb&b to get a nice property in a quiet neighborhood for fathers day. There was no access to the patio outside area, or to the dock, unit below us was extremely loud and did not try to quiet down once they new we were above them. They were loud outside and inside their unit. While we know this is not vrbo or the property's issue it still added to our frustration. At check in we were not able to get into the house because the property Realtor never supplied the code in the email for the door and it was after hours when we arrived. We stood outside the unit with bags, family on a flight of stairs waiting for their after hours to answer. There is no working air condition in the summer yes it was extremely hot, no complimentary coffee, cream, sugar or even an updated coffee machine like a keurig. There was no washer or dryer for wet clothes if going to the beach and the owner didn't even give guest a "things to do when in new port". It felt very much like we paid a very high price for nothing really in return. We are very unhappy with vrbo and this stay, would like a refund for our troubles. Christina

Great location and nice size home with large rooms. The kitchen has minimum supplies for 6 people but still worked. You need to bring your paper products including facial tissue and bath tissue. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed the house. Has a large table for playing family games.

Warning: read before booking
The good: This was a very spacious 3 bedroom apartment with a large living room, nice balcony, and a garage for your car. The listing description was very accurate to what it is. Walkable to many places on the peninsula. This is a perfect place IF you're not going to be spending much time in the actual apartment and just need a decent place to sleep. The bad & ugly: -Probably the most disappointing: there is VERY loud construction of a house happening across the way from this property. All you hear is the sawing of wood and steel while you're trying to enjoy sitting out on the balcony. -There were renters that stayed in the downstairs unit, and we heard EVERYTHING. It felt like they were inside our unit because we could hear every word and every movement. They had a grandkid over and it was chaos during the day. This is not an exaggeration! The walls, windows, and floors are paper thin. -It was hard to believe how cheap the house products were. Simple things like toilet paper, silverware, paper towels, cups, etc. all felt like they were bought from the dollar store. -The internet here is some of the worst I've experienced in a long time. I had to work during the days I stayed here and it was a huge and unnecessary challenge. Just like the products throughout the house, I would not doubt if they only bothered to get bare-bones internet. Could not load a simple google page at times... a massive letdown and disappointment. -The toilets are slow and barely work. They have signs warning you not to flush anything but toilet paper (which of course we followed), but they are in poor condition. -This is a bit of a nitpick, but the check-in process was odd. I was forced to come to an office on a tight deadline so I could sign a form. Why I couldn't do that over docusign is still baffling to me. -I think I must have received a total of 10-12 emails from VRBO about this property after I booked. Completely unnecessary and just added more confusion. LESS EMAILS PLZ.
