The home itself was beautiful and the oceanfront views were absolutely amazing. The location was great, and we truly enjoyed being right on the beach with our family.

However, there were several issues during our stay that were disappointing, especially for a beach property. Shortly after arrival, we were informed that the dryer was not working. With children and being directly on the beach, having a functioning dryer is really a necessity. Unfortunately, the icemaker and toaster also did not work during our stay.

In addition, there were dirty, moldy dishes still sitting in the dishwasher upon arrival, and many of the towels appeared stained, which made the cleanliness feel below expectations.

Overall, the home and views were beautiful, but the maintenance and housekeeping issues took away from what could have been a much better experience.

The house and location were great. Very spacious home, we fit 9 people 5 children and 4 adults. Right down the back steps to the gulf. Large back porch with plenty of seating. Great views from both front and back of home.

While the home is spacious and the location is beautiful, our experience was marred by poor maintenance and unprofessional management. For a stay costing over $600 per night, the following issues were unacceptable:

Safety Hazards: The deck had loose boards and exposed nails. This was incredibly dangerous, especially with five children in our group.

Essential Amenities Failed: The dryer was broken for the duration of our stay, the fridge leaked, and the coffee pot didn't work. Managing laundry for 9 people without a dryer was a logistical nightmare.

Poor Management: Communication with the local host and guest services was horrible. We had to call multiple times for updates, and the host was unprofessional and rude when addressing our concerns.

Inadequate Compensation: The management company, Avari, offered a $120 credit. Given the safety risks and the fact that basic necessities weren't met, this is an insulting amount for a $2,500+ booking.

We spent more time managing repairs and chasing down the host than enjoying our family vacation. I cannot recommend this property until management takes safety and maintenance seriously.
