"YHIS IS A 2 BEDROOM PLACE THAT SAYS IT SLEEPS 7. It only had 2 rolls of toilet paper, ants were crawling on the wall and cockroaches ended up in our sons bed. One room had stained and dirty sheets. Of the 4 bicycles that were supplied, 2 were broken, no internet password was provided at the property and it took 15 minutes over the phone to obtain from the management. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS OR STAY THERE AGAIN."

"Living room furniture should be replaced. It’s worn and not comfortable to use. The same is recommended for master bedroom mattresses. Mattresses have seen their best years. Cheap pillows. “Dollar Store” quality patio chairs. They’re made of thin and cheap plastic. Not safe to sit in. Two of the four chairs were broken. Master toilet flushing was nearly non-functional.

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The Henderson was an awesome experience. Rooms were nice and clean, ceiling fan is another air conditioner, friendly staff, very peaceful environment, beach area was nice. "

Private Pool, Carriage House, and Near the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was better than expected. There were a few minor problems. The water heater kept turning off. We had to relight the pilot light several times, the outside grill propane was low and well I can’t remember the third item. However I called them into the maintenance folks and they were very gracious and professional. I would happily stay there again. "

GORGEOUS FIRST FLOOR BEACHFRONT CONDO ... BRAND NEW, ONE-of-a-KIND

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was just as it was listed. Owner was great to work with and was more than cordial. The only thing renters need to be aware of is you can not use personal umbrellas or pop ups as the beach area is private. Thus you must rent from the beach rental company. And of course it is pricey. If you choose to use your personal beach umbrellas you will be required to go to the public beach area."

Your own piece of paradise at THE SALTY PARROT!

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at this property! It is close enough to walk to the beach and close to many other desirable things to do. The pool area was very nice and wasnt overcrowded. The house was well stocked with kitchen items as well as with many baby items including an umbrella stroller, high chair, and pack and play. They also had beach toys if needed. The owner was very quick and easy to comminicate with! Our only concern was we thought the 5th bedroom was an enclosed bedroom instead of the loft area at the top of the stairs with the futon. The owner was very kind when discussing this misunderstanding, making an effort to fix it!"
