The duplex is beautiful, well maintained, and top of the line appliances. The wrap around porch/lanai leads directly to the beach. We started every morning having coffee on the lounge chairs on the lanai watching the ocean and finished every evening on the lanai watching the sunset. We would 100% return.
A couple of things that could be improved. One, the beach chairs were rusty and wouldn't stay folded, making them very hard to carry. Honestly, I think they should just be thrown out. Two, the bed frame is for a king-sized mattress, but the mattress is a queen. The frame sticks out and my husband ran into it repeatedly. Third, it would have been lovely to have screen doors on all of the patio doors. However, even with just the back patio door and the bedroom/bathroom windows open, there was always a beautiful breeze, and we only used the air conditioning once during our stay.
Also, after we were approved, we were told that we'd need to pay a substantial amount for an additional, insurance policy or leave a substantial cash deposit, to be returned after our trip. This was in addition to the policy included in the listing. The property is gorgeous, and I can understand the owner's desire to ensure it is not damaged, but I feel like that information should be available to potential renters on the Vrbo page and not come as a surprise after you are approved as a renter.
