Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was pet friendly but overall in poor condition. There were roaches in the house had a very bad smell like bug spray and mold. The beds were very uncomfortable like sleeping on a cot. Extremely difficult to to open the back door because it would not slide well. There was mildew under the sink in The bathroom with the bathtub and the door on that bedroom was falling apart. Overall had a very unclean look to it. If I had other options at that moment , I would not have stayed. It felt a little disappointing on the web.The house looks very different than it actually is.

We could not even stay at this house. It was full of cockroaches and when we told host they acted like they did not know. Dead roaches on walls and floors. We paid and had to spend more money on a hotel room and they would not even discuss a partial refund. I do not recommend this place to anyone

The one star is for the pool. I honestly don’t even know where to begin, but let me start by this is our 2nd Beach Box stay. First experience, GREAT! This house at first seemed just as great a couple bugs. Went out for the evening and returned to an infestation of roaches crawling all over the kitchen, living room and hall way. I attempted to reach out, but the response was very vague and nonchalant. Very unappealing to do business with in the future. I then proceeded to pull the couch out because roaches were crawling up the wall behind it and it was clear(as you’ll see in the pics attached) that the cleaning fee is not being put to good use. After a couple of messages to the host regarding the disappointment and uncomfortable feeling of potentially taking roaches home it seemed as if they did not care to make it right other than sending someone out to spray pest control the next day, which did nothing for the next 3 days. I also have videos to show bugs everywhere but can’t upload videos here.

Horrible

Worst rental experience. From the inoperable leaking pool, to the stench of stagnant water coming from pool leaking water , to the smell inside the house, the humidity in the house, mold on the ceiling, a/c not fully functioning, to the dirty house, couch smelling like urine, spider webs inside, the inches of dust and dirt accumulated on the air filters to the ROACH INFESTATION. The incredible amount of small dirty roaches coming from cabinets, appliances, walls, baseboards, INFESTATION. We stayed 1 of 4 nights as this was the worst rental experience ever. Not at all what was advertised. Health hazard all around. This place needs some major looking into.

It will not allow me to leave a zero star rating! The house was disgusting! Around 11pm the roaches came out and had a field day! They were all in the kitchen and living room and even in one of the beds. There was black mold on the ceiling in the living room and the house stunk like urine! Sent a message to property owners when the bugs started coming out zero response! The air filters were so clogged the house would not cool off! When we requested a refund they said because we didn’t reach out they wouldn’t give us our money back! Even though we reached out and informed them of the situation! I would not stay here!
