Dirty, appliances barely work, only 4 full bathrooms and one half bath
This place has potential but why are we paying a cleaning fee if the place is going to be dirty, grimy, beds with sand in them and dead bugs everywhere. They need to do better and get a different cleaning service and actually walk the house before guests stay. The fridges barely kept food cold, one of the shower knobs were broken. The single king bedrooms had its own bathroom but the toilet seat was too small. There is a pool that looks new but when asked about it, we were told house didn’t have pool but then they clarified and said yes it does and we could use it. There were also roaches. One of the upstairs rooms was literally a closet and didn’t have an outlet for a fan or chargers. Only 1 bathroom upstairs when we were told there were 2. The dryer barely got clothes dry even after running the cycle multiple times. It was disappointing.

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Filthy Conditions at Treaty Beach House
I recently stayed at the beach house at Treaty, and unfortunately, our experience was nothing short of a nightmare. Upon arrival, we found the living environment in a disturbingly filthy state. One of the beds had visible blood stains, and several others were covered in sand with dirty sheets. To make matters worse, there were roaches present, boogers on the walls, and the dishes and dish rags were filthy. Infested pool that didn't even work. Bathroom smells like sewage. Water taste like sewage. We even encountered a broken refrigerator and a damaged dryer. We are extremely disappointed with the state of the property, and this experience has left us with a very negative impression. I sincerely hope the management takes immediate action to rectify these issues for future guests. I reached out to the owner and they never spoke to me again. Stay away from this place. The high reviews are fake.

Beware! Dirty house with broken appliances!
We rented the house for a family reunion and upon arrival it was clear the house had not been properly cleaned. Everything was filthy, grimy and dirty. Sheets were sandy, hair all over the floors, grime on the walls, dirty drawers, dust covered everything. We saw several roaches alive and dead. The dryer has no heat so we couldn’t dry anything. The AC leaked right on the stairs where you walk through so it drips on you. The pool was completely unusable. The space has potential but it needs some serious TLC.

Post Hurricane Beryl
The property was not directly affected by the hurricane, and the property owner said it wasn't. However, the area as a whole was affected, and we feel the owner could have been more forthcoming with those details. And when we had issues, he said he would follow up but never really did. Having said that, the house was great in terms of clean, all appliances in great working order, kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, small appliances, etc. The things that weren't as advertised were the ping pong table, which was unusable, as was the foosball table. There were some other arcade games that worked, but we had really looked forward to the ping pong. The beds were as many as advertised, but some were a bit difficult to use in the layout. One room had to be accessed through another bedroom, etc. But overall, it was a fun experience and we made lots of great memories.

We loved it!!
This house is BEAUTIFUL and HUGE!!! In total we had 10 adults, and 7 kids ranging from 1-16.(total of 5 families) We had more than enough space and never felt over crowded, but always felt close enough to be able to be together! My only complaint is it was not the cleanest. My one year old would crawl around and his knees and feet would be black, in the couch had old chips and the light in the kitchen had someone else’s name written in the dust😅 but other than that we absolutely loved it! It was a 5 minutes straight walk to the beach.

Memories were made
We celebrated our family union during Christmas break. Everything was so wonderful. We had plenty of space and beds for people to sleep in. We really enjoyed the big parking space because we were able to play pickleball out there. And the house located at the back where there is not a lot of traffic. We also enjoyed the fact that we can walked less than 1 mile to the beach. Love the place.

Family reunion / postponed wedding reception
We had 2 beach houses-this was 1 of the 2. Due to unforeseen circumstances after our wedding in December, my husband and I never had a reception- why not have one for 4th of July?! We brought a few extra tables. We used the property as the gathering space for both families. It was perfect ! Huge yard and downstairs space. Game room and 2 separate living areas with their own entrances I wish I would have know how bedrooms were laid out and I wish the lift worked. The cleaning crew didn’t seem to really clean before we arrived. The floors were dirty but it’s the beach and the sheets were all clean! Overall a true and honest 8.5/10 I would rent this house again PS. The AC and extra fans provided worked great!!

We had a group of 14 girls and 12 adults and this house was PERFECT for us! The fact that all girls could be in one room together and sleep in bed was amazing AND all adults had their own bed to sleep in!! I loved the layout of the house where girls could gather in their quarters upstairs but still had a spare sleeping area for a supervising adult. Penny off room for them to play inside and out and just a quick drive to the beach. Loved it!

This house is HUGE! So much space for all of us to spread out and each have our own area to settle into after our day at the beach. Of course we also enjoyed the living areas like the living room and kitchen to gather and spend some quality time together. The house was super clean upon arrival and we just immediately felt at home here.

Always nice to be in Paradise
We had a great time on vacation. We did find a used condom behind the bunk bed and cleaned up water more then once due to the AC leaking. The owner was very prompt with responses but the maintenance crew was not prompt with showing up. The large porch was so nice to be out in at night and the multiple fridges was a huge bonus.

Amazing! Stay
Our group of 8 families had a great time here. Everything was as advertised. Communication was super easy. Instructions were clear. Property was spacious. All kids stayed in the huge room in second floor. They had their own TV, played table tennis and Foosball and stayed together in bunk beds. The kitchen had all the essentials. The bathrooms were small but no complaints from us. Area is quiet. We played volleyball at the back of the house. The beach is only a 2 to 5 minute drive. We watched sunrise and watched moon and planets through our telescope at night. Overall, a happy memory. Thank you for everything

Pack the Zyrtec and Lysol!!
This house had great potential but was pure disappointment every step of the way. The management company was horrendous. They made promises and never held to any of them. We even contacted VRBO directly and spoke with the management company who ensured something would be done to correct the extreme dirtiness upon arrival. Even the kitchen sink had food particles still all over. A cleaning lady was sent 2x, she stayed for 5-10 minutes each time and didn't actually clean anything while there. The beds had hairs and sand on the sheets and on the comforters. The floor had not been swept nor mopped. We even had 4 yo complaining how gross their feet felt if walking barefoot inside. The cleaning crew did throw away the outside rug on the patio that was covered in dog poop, with screws and cigarette butts when we arrived- that was nice. We tried to making coffee the first morning we noticed old coffee still in the carafe so we cleaned it and tried to make coffee but once it spilled everywhere we realized it was broken- thankfully we were able to mop up the gross floors with the towels we had since there was no mop on site. While inside we began sneezing (kids and adults) due to the thick layers of dust and dirt throughout the home. The AC filter has most likely never been changed as we noticed it caked in dust from just sitting on the couch. There is a nice sitting area in the living room but beware of the chair closest to the door- we had one child and two adults who sat there jump up with red bites all over their legs and back so don't sit there! All the bathrooms had mold/mildew and sand inside of the showers (UPON ARRIVAL). There is no outside shower or even water hose to rise off post beach trips which would be the reason for all the sand in the showers but i would expect it to be cleaned out for the next guests ESPECIALLY for the price per night we were paying. We reached out several more times to the management company asking to speak with the owner directly (as they said he would reach out) but we never heard back from ANYONE even mang. co. We spent WAY too many hours trying to mitigate all of these issues without resolve while on a family reunion vacation. Also, if you are expecting to be able to go to the beach easily from this location that is a hard no. You have to drive miles down a VERY crowded public access ($15) beach. Sounds fun huh? STAY AWAY. No discount was given for the issues either. I have a case with VRBO open.

This house is great for big groups. Plenty of beds for everyone. The location is alright, other nearby houses have tons of trash in their yard. The closeness to the beach was amazing. Loved the outdoor wrap around patio. The room with all the bunk beds is above the main house. You have to walk out and up the stairs to get access to that room.

The house was wonderful. Great location. We didn't have much of a mosquito problem. The only thing the group before us left the house a mess, and the cleaning crew were in until 530. Other than that the house is a gem, the owners were very responsive.
