Avis 7 Maryland Avenue - NEW CONSTRUCTION Just one house from the beach!

The house is beautiful, but it was filthy when I arrived. Blood drops on the floor next to one of the beds, dandruff and other flakey debris on the rather worn sofa, hair (human and dog) all over the main (top) floor, food crumbs scattered across the counters and floors, greasy finger smudges on the appliances and sink/door handles, the trash bins under the house already packed with waste from prior guests and infested with swarms of flies (more than usual even for BKB) and one coated in maggots. I spent hours cleaning so I could sleep and eat in the place. Swiffer wipes came up caked in brown dirt from the floor. The property agent said that the last time it was cleaned was 2-3 WEEKS prior and she later found out that the owner let relatives use the house during that time, and did not arrange for it to be cleaned before I got there. The agent offered to send someone to clean while I was there but by that point, I had already done a lot of the work and unpacked, and wanted to try to relax. She offered a small partial refund and two additional nights. The house needs additional maintenance to address stained upholstery/rug, dirty handprints on the walls, etc. If you book this house, get a separate written guarantee that it will be professionally cleaned the day of your arrival or you’ll get a full refund. Giving 3 stars out of 5 (via VRBO) because the house design is great, particularly the screened porch, and the agent was very responsive and tried to be helpful.

The house is stunning inside and out. The overall floor plan is perfect for families. The bathroom downstairs is wonderful for long beach days (you don't have to track sand through the house). The bedrooms are all spacious - much more than it looks like in the photos. Everyone (even my older parents who shared the bunk/trundle room) was comfortable and happy. The big open plan on the top floor is incredible - big comfy couch, big inviting dining table, open beautiful kitchen, and relaxing screened-in porch! We were a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 littles), a family of 3 (2 adults, 1 littler), and my parents. It was a great size for us. And just steps from the beach! It is very residential mixed with rental homes. Everyone was kind and respectful. We love the little general store with ice cream and a lot of restaurants in town. The only negative (and it's not even about the house) is that the area is known to have nasty flies that "attack" during different weather/wind conditions. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I hope to make it back for a return trip!

The weather didn’t cooperate, but the views of the beach from inside while playing made up table games was fabulous! I would love to explore the full potential of the house from cocktails on the screened in porch. Two trips back-and-forth the short walk to the beach would definitely rent this house again.

Beautiful clean home. Enough room for our large family. Beach is a little small, but ok for the off-season and a long weekend!

Our family of 6 adults and one toddler spent the Thanksgiving weekend at this rental. The house exactly what we were looking for, it was on a quiet street with a dog friendly beach. We had plenty of room for 3 couples and the kids room was great for our granddaughter, it had room for at least 2 more kids. The general store was closed for the season so we did have to go into town for a few items. The ice maker did not keep up with our needs, I would suggest brining additional ice to supplement it. The beds had light comforters, so if your stay is during the off season, extra blankets may be needed. The open concept kitchen, family room and dining room were perfect for us to spend time together. Overall the house was great for us, we defiantly would stay again.

This was a great home for our adult getaway with friends. Location is great. You can walk to the private quiet beach! Outdoor shower is great when you are done at the beach!! House has everything you need ! Owner was easy to work with. Would definitely rent this house again!
