We really enjoyed our stay and thought the location and the pool were the best features of the house! It was perfect for getting to the beach or to the Seaside town square. We did get a golf cart and used it a lot for grocery store runs and to haul some of our group back and forth, but walking to the town was just as fast once you account for traffic and parking (only a 5 min walk).The check in information was never emailed to me so I reached out on our way and made sure we got the code before we arrived. Luckily they responded back promptly or that could have been an issue when we arrived.
We had 2 families with children ages 11mo, 18mo, 4, 5, and 7. A dark room was important for us with so many little ones and was hard to come by because there were no curtains! They had blinds but many were broken and did not block out sun. The bunk room had sheer curtains so the kids were up at 6:30am every morning. We stuck one baby in a closet to try and block out light. Our only maintenance issue was that the fridge leaked water. Maintenance came out but it didn’t fix the issue so we just kept towels pushed up and tried to keep it as dry as possible.
Note, they did not provide extra paper towels, laundry soap, or trash bags so be prepared to buy all of this. We did find some sand fleas in the living room. It wasn’t a terrible problem but we all saw them multiple times. I let the property management know on our way out. Hopefully they will fog it and that will help.
Positives: The pool and covered patio were by far the best parts of the house! We spent a ton of time outside and the pool was perfect. They had plenty of pool toys provided and the backyard was great with a hammock and plenty of seating. Other things provided worth noting: beach wagon, beach towels, beach chairs, a Graco pack N play, 2 bikes, corn hole, tons of board games for all ages, a blinder (which I greatly appreciated for smoothies for the kids).
We overall had a fabulous stay and would stay again if they added some substantial curtains!!
