Seaside Sanctuary

Enjoyed a wonderful week on the property! The house was absolutely lovely and so well maintained. We had groceries waiting for us (which was great because the speed limit was 35 and the house was about 18 miles from most restaurants and places) which made it so convenient and comfortable. So quite and lovely, felt like our own private beach. The major downside was at the end of the board walk the water had washed away the beach so there was a massive pit (4feet depth) so if you stepped off the boardwalk you\'d fall and seriously hurt yourself. It wasn\'t the easiest to figure out how to get around it and I brought it up to Ryson but never got a response. Thankfully the entrance to the beach was two houses down so we just drove everyday to get my handicap parents access to the beach. But had the boardwalk been accessible to the beach that would have made all the difference in the world.

This home is beautiful, I would have easily given an excellent rating except for the fact that the washing machine was extremely dirty, and had mold all throughout, additionally, the deck to the beach was unusable. There was massive erosion leaving a steep hole at the end of the deck preventing you from safely getting onto the beach. We made the best of the stay and had fun, thought I would mention this to the property management company so that other guests, didn\'t have the same experience. It\'s been over a week and they still haven\'t responded to my email. Overall, the experience at the house was great, I would book that rental again. The lack of response from the property management company has left a bad taste in my mouth.

To the Owners and Manager of Ryson Beachhouse Rentals Re: Seaside Sanctuary Houseguests from Louisiana: Frances Washington Brenda Toston Julie Byers Eurydice Thomas Barbara Denu Barbara Jack Shirley Chachere Carol Poullard Our stay at your rental property was bittersweet. We were pleased when we drove up to this beautiful venue. However, by the time we walked up the stairs with all of our belongings. Our bodies hurt beyond measure. We are all senior citizens between the ages of 68 and 75, and a few with underlying health issues. We realized that there was a dumbwaiter that was unavailable to us - very disappointing! Our agenda was to have dinner, then relax on the veranda and enjoy the ocean breeze. We could not cook, due to no butane to operate the cooktop stove. We also had problems opening the freezer to capacity. There was no hot water; therefore, forced to take cold showers, for the duration of our trip. After communicating back and forth, management remedied the situation regarding the stove the next afternoon, by sending us two electric stoves, and one toaster oven. That was a welcome surprise, and much appreciated. The last day of our stay, we were offered dinner from one of three restaurants, which was delivered from Landry's Restaurant. That also was appreciated. In comparison to the amount we paid for our girlfriends getaway, that was paid up, and on time, according to Ryson's requirements, the venue should have been ready to accommodate us with everything offered to us, as advertised. Dinner and late accommodations cannot compare to the expectations we had, and the experience we endured. We adjusted to the place, despite the inadequacies because of who we are, and how we related to each other, and the circumstances. You offered to deduct $100 from our fee. $100 divided by eight women is insulting. $100 returned to each of us would be satisfactory. After checking out and returning the key, we were warmly greeted by the manager and her assistant. They were nice and very lovely women. They tempered the end of our stay with their professionalism and kindness.

Seaside Sanctuary is a very beautiful place , we really enjoyed our stay, the little problem that occurred, the owner and Ryson vacation rental made it all good.

The location was great! Being right on the beach with a private walkway to the beach was great. We watched the rain storms in the morning while having breakfast then be on the beach as soon as they passed. The house was great but just needed the freezer fixed and a bath drain un clogged which I'm sure will be addressed. We would definitely stay here again.
