This was our first time renting a place through Vrbo and everything went amazingly well. The description of the place was accurate and the photos were very helpful. The instructions from the owner were clear and concise (even down to "how to open the main blinds"). The rental was spacious and perfect for those looking for a place to stay with kids (we had a 7 year old and the separate bedrooms with separate bathroom was exactly what we needed). The unit was clean and well-kept.
The location was great for us. We didn't want to be right down by the boardwalk (this location was up near 49th) but we could walk 2 blocks to direct beach access that had the blue umbrella/chair rental stands right there). Lots of nearby food options (great breakfast cafe a half block away, another restaurant a block away). It sits right on the bay so the views were amazing. Parking was a breeze and clearly explained.
We had only 2 minor suggestions: perhaps a darker/thicker curtain in the main bedroom (or a secondary curtain). Although the curtain in there was opaque, it was still fairly bright, even at night (obviously this is a personal preference).
The other is that the bathtub in the 2nd room is rather difficult to get into/out of since the sides are so high (because it's a jet tub). Perhaps a little step stool would help? Also, I couldn't get the drain to seal in the tub so I couldn't really fill it up (but that may be user error).
But overall, awesome place! Highly recommended!
