Seaside Vacations

“Even though we enjoyed our stay at Overdraft as a family, despite the horrible weather, the house was a little disappointing for the price. Realizing this was off-season and Overdraft probably had a long summer, the maintenance needed on this property was mind blowing. Fortunately, we were traveling with a "handy man" who was able to fix the minor things when needed. For example, the laundry room shelf fell off the wall after merely putting beach towels on it (which we fixed); slats were missing under the bunk bed mattresses and one of the kids fell through; no door on the kitchen pantry; walls and fronts of kitchen cabinets soiled and filthy; screen door on main balcony barely hanging on; black mold around a/c vents; massively stained carpet throughout, mildewy porch furniture. Overdraft is a beautiful home in a great location. It baffles me that it was not maintained. These things were not enough to ruin our vacation, but I have stayed in better maintained places for less money.”

“The location is beautiful but the house has been very poorly maintained. There were pet and human hairs (a couple looked like pubic hairs) on more than one “clean” bed. There was a terrible stain on one of the curtains. Looked like someone had peed on it. There was what appeared to be blood on one of the night stands. The ottoman in the living room was worn out approximately 5 years ago but was covered by a blanket so it wasn’t immediately apparent. The ac filters were completely clogged. Hadn’t been changed in well over 6 months. Several of the chairs by the pool were broken. One of the chairs on the upper deck was broken. I almost fell over when I sat down in it. There’s a terrible stain in the bottom of the pool. Didn’t affect use but ugly. Instructions that ac isn’t to be turned below 72 or it would freeze. Should have been disclosed up front. I should have received a minimum of a 50% refund but was given the equivalent of less than one night. NEVER AGAIN!”

“The location was great! Beach cart came in handy. As far as the house the appliances need attention- keurig was broken, fridge upstairs shelves were coming apart. One slider door was extremely hard to open. One toilet took forever to fill. Some of the bedroom doors stick are hard and noisy to open. Beds are in need of an upgrade one had a huge dip in it and rooms get very hot at nite wish they had mini splits to help. General upkeep and cleanliness- 2, pool was nice but the landscaping around it was in need of some TLC. The porch was in need of resurfacing, paint chipping, rusty nails sticking out and boards coming up in a few places (trip hazard). Showers were moldy, needs new curtain in the one. Coffee table, light switch and stair walls had chocolate hand prints on them when we arrived. Carpet did not look vacuumed. It was off from the pics online. Overall the house is in need of some care and maintenance but we made do. We had a great time despite everything.”

“We did not have a good experience. When we arrived at the VRBO, we found that the condo was in need of maintenance and cleaning. When you are paying over $560/night you would expect basic amenities like dish soap, hand soap, extra garbage bags, dishcloths to name a few. The master bathroom had a dingy old shower with a clear shower curtain liner that was missing rings. There was old food behind the garbage can in the kitchen, which clearly tells me that the person that cleaned did not do a good job. You also have to make your own bed when you get there and they do not provide the right number of pillowcases for how many pillows you have. It is ridiculous to have a check in time of 5 PM and a check out time of 10 AM. There were cobwebs, dirty baseboards, the condo was an overall need of painting and basic repairs but the icing on the cake was cockroaches. Not just one not just too, but we saw a minimum of five and that’s what we saw and killed. Would not recommend!”

“Great location next to the pool and walkable to beach. Unfortunately the house was dirty and we had problems with 4 amenities without any help to fix them. (No WiFi, no living room tv, dirty hot tub that didn’t work, and missing pool passes for a few days of our stay)”

“We were very disappointed. Original place had AC issue and we were not told. 2nd property needed work. Horrible nasty, holey furniture, pans had rust in them, could not cook. Overall a frustrating experience.”

“This was the worst airbnb experience I have ever had. We arrived with 3 kids late at night and the keypad didn't work. It took over 30 mins for the emergency on call person to respond. He wasn't able to fix the problem and offered to drive out but wouldn't be able to arrive for an hour (1:30 AM). We decided to stay in a hotel and couldn't access the property until the next morning. The host refused to refund the first night and we had to go through airbnb to do it. The place itself was clean, and right in the middle of town and very walkable. This said it did not come with anything to make it more comfortable. There were not enough towels, no soap/dish soap/hair dryer, etc. If you are staying here, be prepared to bring everything with you. If you want them to make the beds, you have to pay extra. For what you pay for this place, it really isn't worth it and I would not stay there again.”

“When we arrived at the house, we found the bathrooms dirty; there was even sand in the showers. A couple of days before our arrival, we were notified that the air conditioning on the third floor needed repairs. The repair crew arrived at 7:30 AM on Tuesday (YES 7:30 AM). We waited for a while but decided to leave for the beach around midday, even though there were still people working in the house. We returned around 6:30 PM, and the workers were finishing up. Although they had installed a window AC unit and some box fans, it wasn't enough; it was extremely hot, and that’s how things remained for two days. Also, after the second day, we had trouble getting into the house; we sent a message to let the company know, but there was no quick response, so a family member even had to climb in through the second-floor balcony to open the door, risking a fall so that we could get inside. Afterward, we simply received a message stating that they had seen we had managed to enter the house.”

“We rented this for a family mini-reunion and this was the worst AirBnB experience for any of us. We spent 5 out of the 7 days of our vacation managing issues. Not restful! Pros The location is excellent. Cons -For this price point, the house is a bit outdated - Blood-stained mattress cover in master bedroom upon arrival. -Also, not a huge deal but we were expected to make all beds with the provided sheets. - Broken washing machine upon arrival - Empty propane tank - Missing essentials like dishtowels and bathmats - Backyard not as pictured — broken furniture, a dirty cabana area, and a dirt patch for a lawn -Broken tv that we reported as soon as we noticed and then the host accused us of breaking it and charged us - Time taken away from vacation to handle issues with the management company The management company did address most of these issues but these were all issues that could have been addressed before we arrived.”

“WARNING LOOK ELSEWHERE! House came with 4 rolled of toilet paper yet we had 5 full bathrooms and 2 half. No hand soap for any bathrms 1 dishwasher pod, no dish soap, 1 trash bag, and 1 paper towel.
