Customer Reviews
If I could give a zero, I would. The only positive was that this location is close to the beach and the area was quiet during our stay. The home was far from clean. The dishes/pots/silverware were dirty. We found new cockroaches each day of our stay. We even bought roach spray and it seemed the roaches got bigger each day. They were in the bedroom (alive), bathroom (alive), kitchen(alive), and behind the couch (dead). The dead cockroach behind the couch also had food next to it (clear evidence of lack of cleaning). We finally cut our stay short and went home because the huge roach walking through the kitchen. The owner has yet to respond about the filth. I would highly advise against staying at this place and not trust them to properly clean.
We were very excited to rent this house. We usually always rent a house right on the beach so that we have a view, but this time we decided to rent something without a view because this house offered so many great amenities. However, it’s one thing to offer amenities and have them in working order and it’s another thing to have amenities that are either broken or too dirty to use. When we first arrived, we thought everything was great. We did a quick once over of the house, unpacked, and then went about our vacation. As we spent more time in the house, we noticed more and more issues. The house was not cleaned properly. The floors were dirty, the microwave was dirty, things had not been dusted and were actually caked up with dirt, the couch is covered with stains and smells like sweat … so
Too many maintenance issues to give more than 3 stars for the price. The dishes were wet and some plastic ones actually had mold growing on them. The AC was off when we arrived and it really needs to stay on all the time to prevent mold growth. The master bed was horrible. It has huge dips. I had to go sleep on one of the bunk beds. I felt like I was going to fall through the master bathroom floors. Also, put up some towel bars and hooks for towels in the master bath.. For the price, you really need to fix this. Wash the bedspreads. One literally had crusty blood on it. Needs more kitchen towels and some hot pads. Plus: walking distance to beach, great porch
Beautiful view of the ocean and easy access to the beach. Just a few hundred yards away. Plenty of space for family. Well kept and the beach decor is just the feel you are looking for. The porch is our favorite spot! Goes on forever! Downstairs there is a outdoor bar and plenty of shade for cooking, hanging out, washers and cornhole and even car or ATV parking. No close neighbors and just room to relax and get away from it all. Close to all the local hangouts and restaurants. The Runaway is just what we needed! 🏝
It's biggest positive is the short walk to the beach. Otherwise there were too many maintenance issues that made for an uncomfortable stay and the management company was slow to do any for 2 biggest problems. Cleaning fee is high and the place was far from clean.
