Blue Wave Beach Retreat

Our family had a fantastic time in this house right on the beach. It was so relaxing to sit on the porch and watch the sunset every night. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom! We will definitely rent this house again.

This house is in a great location and is perfectly situated close to amenities and the beach! With three families coming together for our annual trip it was great to have multiple spaces that accommodated our group. There were a few downsides to the house that were noticeable immediately. Almost every wall in the house is marked up with stains and damage from guests, and the whole place seems like it needs a deep cleaning. One of our vehicles became infested with ants while we were there, to the point where we had to get multiple items to take care of the problem in and around the vehicle. The last night that we stayed, the downstairs AC unit stopped working. Since we were leaving the next morning, we didn’t reach out to get it fixed. I see that a previous review mentioned problems with the AC, so it seems like this is a consistent issue. We definitely would like to stay here again as the house was perfect for our needs, but hopefully the house will get a refresh before then.

Loved the location as it is right on the beach. We also loved the added beach equipment (boogie boards and camp chairs for sitting under the house. We especially liked the nice cookware and glass storage/serving bowls. However, there is a shortage of eating utensils so we were always washing them for use.

The location is beautiful, and the house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate my family. However, the property is in need of a deep cleaning and better maintenance. During our stay, we saw at least one or two roaches every day. The microwave handle was broken when we arrived, the walls were noticeably dirty, the refrigerator was leaking (and we even found a roach beside it), and the washing machine had a strong mildew odor. I actually tried cleaning the washer myself because it was causing our clothes and towels to smell. The air conditioning also stopped working during our stay, but I do want to give credit to the host for responding promptly and having it repaired the following day, which I appreciated. Overall, while the location is beautiful and the home has plenty of space, the cleanliness and maintenance issues significantly affected our experience. Given the nightly rate, I expected the property to be in much better condition, so I don’t recommend it currently.
