Great for all ages!
Lovely location near the beach/playground with views of wetlands. House was clean and beds comfortable. One mile walk to beautiful town green surrounded by shops and great restaurants. Excellent communication with host. We will stay there again!

House Was Disappointing
In summary the house was disappointing. As a current VRBO owner ourselves with 40 five-star reviews, we are well aware of what customer service is all about. The house has many deficiencies: no washing machine (although I provided several local Rent-a-Center locations, that fell on deaf ears). It was noted by the property management that there was a dispute with a former guest, however current and future guests shouldn’t be inconvenienced when this happened 4 months ago as noted in a July review. The management did offer up a laundry service but did not offer to pay for it. There was no central tv only in the bedroom’s. There was no table lamp near the bed in the master BR and the lamp there had faulty wiring. Wi-Fi was spotty, and upon arrival at night the house had no lights so was hard to find. There were no instructions on how an electric fireplace worked in the LR, which was the only source of light and heat in the room. There is a more lengthy list of action items provided to Creekwood Vacations, hopefully they’ll. Take note and make some corrections. We would not stay at this location again.

Great location
The Home needs updating, painting, newer carpet (smelled smoky & musty). As well as cleaner landscape & front entry. Screen door didn't shut and laundry did not work.

Perfect Family Beach House
Property was a short walk to a smallish town beach with a playground area. Perfect set up in home for multi generational family beach vacation. Property well maintained. Definitely a gem for families with young children!

Cozy Vacation Home
Thanks for the great stay! We were in the area for a family function and this gave us the best of all worlds. We had multiple generations and everyone agreed: great location near the Beach and soccer fields, close to the train station too, Guilford Moorings restaurant down the road is excellent, cozy sofa in living room, well equipped kitchen, great hot showers, bonus living room suite space for down time, big screen tvs in every bedroom, AC in every bedroom including the suite. Loved the sunset views of the marsh in the backyard. Cute bunnies and lots of bird life are a plus! All in all a great space with lots of flexibility. Working with Creekwood Vacations was very good in that they could always be reached by phone or the Vrbo messaging. They were very good w/response time. The washer was not available during our stay but they did offer to set up a laundry service. We didn’t need to take them up on that but it would be something to ask ahead in order to have it set up before arriving. We loved the experience of Seaside Avenue and will be back again!

Needs some work
I did not use the property as most would. Just stayed one overnight for a surgical procedure at Guilford hospital and wanted to be close. The house was OK. It was clean inside but it's very worn and needs a lot of sprucing up. The back yard seemed junky. Stuff lying around. Stuff peeling from the siding.

Nice location
Great location near Jacob's Beach, which was a perfect little Beach and a nice park. The lock box would not work and it took us almost an hour to get into the place. The representative online was helpful. The air conditioner remotes were not working. And an air conditioner in the living room would be helpful. There were several problems that I let the owner know about. The house is a wonderful size, Linens were wonderful and in general it is a nice rental.

Overall stay was great. Slight problem with check in but it might have been the operator. Little difficulty trying to extend a day to the rental. Overall five stars!!!

Great spot for a family beach vacation
We had a wonderful week in Guilford. The house was the perfect size and location for a relaxing week at the beach. There was plenty within walking distance to keep everyone from toddler to adult happy, and beautiful parks nearby for the dog. There were great restaurants in walking distance and plenty of great food and grocery stores near by. We will definitely be back!

A great place with lots of room to spread out. Easy walking distance to the beach.
This home met all of our expectations. Clean and had everything we needed. Nice neighborhood, easy walk to Jacob's beach. The kids loved the beach, playground, splashpad, and ice cream truck! The screened porch in the back was a great quiet spot for morning coffee. All in all a great vacation stay, thank you!

Toddler parents rejoice
Located walking distance from a small beach, splash pad, and huge playground, this well-priced family sized rental is a great fit for families with young children. We enjoyed walking to the playground every day and grabbing lemonade from a pop-up fresh squeezed juice bar on the beach. My husband enjoyed the lobster rolls within walking distance on the wharf. It came equipped with a baby gate, pack and play, high chair, beach wagon (with chairs and umbrella), washer/dryer, coffee maker, kitchen supplies and dishwasher. We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed our stay. Management was incredibly responsive and we found the listing to be very accurate and a good value for the price point in the area. A week later and my 3 year old is still asking to go back. Book now and enjoy like we did.

I think the place is serviceable, there were plenty of bedroom so I'd say it was adequate. It was lacking charm and outlets in the bathrooms.
