This was the first time I ever rented a house on vacation. We usually stay with family. But with 7 adults and 2 dogs ( 1 German Shepherd and 1 Lab Mix ) we needed something a little bigger and accommodating for everyone even the fur babies. I was hoping the relaxation n crescent beach house was exactly as stated in the description. You spend a lot of money and time planning your trip you want it to be perfect. THIS WAS PERFECT!! It was BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN, SPACIOUS IT WAS HOME AWAY FROM HOME. With a walk to the beach, a golf car ride away from shops, food, mini golf it was great. And for me sitting pool side with the fur-babies and family was all I needed. DEFINITELY LOOKING TO MAKE THIS A YEARLY TRIP!!

Thank you for your feedback about your experience. Your review means a lot to us and helps spread the word about our business to other customers like you!”

We had ants in kitchen and bathrooms. Had to try and keep them out of food and drinks. Wish we would have had a tv in each bedroom. For the amount of $ this rental cost you would expect it. Other then that everything was good. BEST PART IS THE POOL!!

Thanks for staying with us and for taking the time to answer our survey. This home has monthly pest control, if we are made aware of an invasion we would have been happy to get a service call back. The owner is considering more TV's but at the moment they are centered around the family room. Thank you again for staying with us and we glad you enjoyed the pool.

We had a great experience.

Hey Jennie! Thank you so much for taking time to provide us with your feedback on your stay at our RelaxN property! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience! Come back anytime! Stay safe!

Overall, the house was fine.

Pros - 5 minute walk to the beach. Having a pool was super fun. I like how it was pet friendly. It was mostly clean. Close to restaurants and things to do. The internet was good. There were enough appliances, dishware and cookware.

Cons - old house that’s been fixed up a bit. My husband and I woke up every morning stuffed up with sore throats. Its only big enough to hold four adults and their kids. It’s too small for more than four adults. If you’re staying for more than a few days bring toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags. There is no dish soap or laundry detergent even though they require you to wash the pool towels. The pantry area is weird and run down.

We had a really nice time. You are paying for the location which was excellent, but it’s always disappointing to pay so much and then get something run down. I wouldn’t stay here again.

We are surprised to hear that you thought it was run down. This home has both original cottage charm and new refurbished features such as , new remodeled bathroom, a new pool, there is new flooring in the entry and the restored original hard woods just to mention a few. As far as your toiletry needs, we provide you with a starter kit to get you by until you can get to the store to get what you need. This owner consistently adds thoughtful improvements and will continue to do so as time allow between all of it's bookings.

The house is located in a great community just a short walk from the beach access. Crescent beach is BEAUTIFUL.
However, the house itself fell short of expectation. The bedroom set up wasn’t ideal as most of the sleeping space was downstairs, with one bedroom upstairs. Good for friends not necessarily families. The beds themselves were not very comfortable and the pillows were definitely needing to be replaced.
Seating was limited for a rental that “sleeps” this amount of people. Even outdoors. Comfort across the board was lacking. The washer and dryer were convenient but the set up should be reevaluated. You can’t see the settings on the dryer with them stacked. And please update the refrigerator to ice/water dispenser! Ice cube trays are not what renters expect in 2022.
Outdoors-we expected the pool to be cool. No problem. But, they did not mention it had a leak and we had to refill it which meant extra cold hose water. Pool company also had to come out and “shock” it because it was murky, which took 2 days.
Lastly, the rental company was helpful. Especially the last man that came out. He was friendly and went out of his way to help. Thank you! With that said, from a safety standpoint, if sending staff to the house, please do announce they will be coming. The first person that came out was not in a uniform, or company car and I had to trust he actually was from the company. Also, with the large sign in the flower bed advertising the company-anyone could say that’s where they are from. Safety!!!

We went in May and had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and ready for our stay. We have stayed the past two summers here and noticed the upgrade to the landscaping! Very nice!

Thank you for your excellent review. It looks like your experience with us made your trip more memorable, and we could not be happier! We are stoked to earn your recommendation. Know that our entire team would be happy to welcome you and your family back. We hope your next visit is just around the corner, and we wish you safe travels always.

Great family vacation! More than enough room for our 5 adults, 2 kids and 2 chihuahuas. Beach was closer than expected for our daily peaceful walks. The pool was the perfect relief from our daily walks. The house was well stock from the kitchen to the pool towels. We enjoyed a nearby fishing expedition, parasailing, river and waterway tours, golf and shopping. The pictures and descriptions don't do it justice. The staff was very flexible rescheduling from last year due to COVID and made check in and check out a snap. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Beyond happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your vacation at our Relax'N property, Jeff.

We hope that you'll allow us to welcome you and your family back again in the future.

Enjoyed rental no complaints

Thank you for providing feedback, Mark. Glad you enjoyed your vacation and stay at our RelaxN property. Come back to see us!

We enjoyed our time at this quiet family friendly home for our Spring Break vacation! The home was located in a nice area with helpful neighbors and a very short walk to the beach! House was clean, kitchen well stocked, and pool was heating for my kids enjoyment! The lighting on the first floor needs some updating, just a bit dark in the kitchen. The pool area was great to relax, but the landscaping could use some TLC (tall weeds, garbage, overgrown bushes, etc.). The grill situation worked, but could use an upgrade as both were very well used. Otherwise, a perfect spot for some fun and sun!

Good morning, Scott. We appreciate your feedback on the property and the nice review. Happy to hear the accommodations suited your vacation nicely, and we apologize about any inconveniences you may have dealt with, such as the landscaping and grill situation. We will work diligently to get those items addressed. We hope to welcome you back to the beach again soon!

The house was great the location was very close to the beach. Will rent again in the future

Thank you for this review, Edwin. Sounds like you folks enjoyed your vacation and we are pleased to hear it. Come back to visit when you're ready!

Had a great time. We found the home to be very pleasant. Only complaint is that the house number is completely illegible from the street. We had two Amazon packages returned as undeliverable because the delivery driver could not read the numbers on the outside.

Hi, Rosa. Thank you for taking time to leave your feedback on your recent stay at our Relax"n at Crescent Beach property! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the property and your vacation. Sorry about the issue you had with not receiving your packages.

Reach out when you're ready for your next beach vacation. We'll be glad to welcome you back!

We enjoyed our stay, house was nice and the pool was excellent! House layout is a bit different but it works. We would’ve preferred more seating options in the “living room” space. Considering it is a 4 bedroom house it only has comfortable seating for 3-4 people. There is easily room for better seating options. Owners did provide pool towels and toys with was a nice touch. Did have a couple items broken upon arrival but called the rental company and they told us they were already aware.

We had a lovely stay at this house ! It was close to beach - the house pool was clean and well maintained. The kitchen had good amount of utensils for us to cook during some days. All rooms had comfortable beds! They had good linens, towels, pool towels, etc. TV was working fine and all kitchen equipments and washer- dryer were working well ! I only have one small complaint - the shower in ground level bathroom that connects the 2 bedrooms was so small - you can’t even turn inside ! But otherwise we had a wonderful stay ! Thanks to vacation rentals and the owner for renting us this property.

Thank you for this great and detailed review! Truly gives guests an insight of what to expect. Happy to hear you and your family had a wonderful stay. Hope to see you again soon!

Great location!. Great improvements done by homeowner. Still some work to do. Cute kitchen. Great pool in backyard. Looking forward to seeing future improvements (lighting) on our next visit. Great hospitality from ODVR and the little extras provided by the homeowner.

Thank you for the great review. The owner has painstakingly remodeled this beach bungalow into a real gem! The details on the inside are a real surprise for every guest. New projects are on the list, but of course these things take time, so it's too soon to reveal what the future plans are. In the mean time, this home offers a private little getaway from the high-rise crowds. It's an easy stroll to a wonderful section of Crescent Beach or we recommend a golf cart rental to enjoy the neighborhood scenery and shuttle to the beach. Thank you for choosing ODVR for your vacation rental. We hope you will share your great experience with friends and family, too.

The house is very cute! We loved the fenced in backyard. The house is only 2 blocks from beach, so it’s in a wonderful location!

Thank you for this great review! Can't beat being so close to the beach for a great price! Looking forward to you and your family visiting again soon!

We have rented this house for 2 years in a row and we absolutely love it. The house is always super clean, the beds are very comfortable. This house is only a few minutes walk from the beach and it is in a quite neighborhood, it is not located in a party section and we love that so you feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood. We had one small issue last year and it was taken care of very quickly. Everything you need is right there in the house no matter if you are staying for a week or several weeks. I honestly wish I could give this house 10 stars. We hope to be able to rent this house for many years to come

Thank you -- we would be ecstatic with 10 stars but we will graciously take your PERFECT 5 star score! The only thing you didn't mention was the private pool but assuming it was one of the highlights, too. Thanks again!

We were pleased with the home at the beach. Nice exterior, and clean outside with nice double driveway. Inside done in knotty pine, which gave it a unique feel, which just happens to be the same wood on the walls of my den at home. I loved the wood. Nice bedrooms and rest rooms. Super nice pool with concrete deck and table with umbrella .. looked brand new. Good size with lights for night swims and lockable gate to keep children safe. Really nicely done upstairs master suite and bath.I would have liked more light in most rooms. One bath sink drained slowly, but was fixed in one day.

WOW -- thanks so much for the five star review. The owner has worked diligently on making this home a great beach getaway; from coastal decor to private pool, each guests is welcome to make this their home away destination. Thank you for sharing your experience and we hope you will spread the word about "RelaxN at Crescent Beach".

It was great, 5 minutes walk to the beach. Sunny backyard by the pool. Plenty of room and space. The beach house is very nice.

The house was very accomaditing for 5 padults. There was defineately room for more kids (which we didn't bring any!) The pool heater didn't work very well so I wouldn't pay the extra $ until it gets fixed. The living room was limited space if it was an "indoor day" it would been very crowded. The grill is charcoal and the charcoal wasn't furnished. Now for the good stuff. We were a block from the beach and enjoyed beautiful sunrises every morning. The place was clean and easy to keep clean. There was plenty of out door space/seating. Shops and grocery stores near by. We had a great time and look forward to renting again next year!

Thank you for the detailed review. Glad to hear you plan to come back next year. This home is two floors, so spacious enough when everyone needs downtime to retreat to their own rooms. The owner does not provide charcoal but most of the time those items are left behind from guest to guest, during the busy summer season. It's not an inventoried item just because those things tend to appear and disappear from week to week. Thanks again for pointing out all of the positive experiences, such as great location, cleanliness and outdoor relaxation space by the pool. This home is a great place for making lifetime memories and ODVR is delighted to be a small part of that.
