Stayed here with my family for a long weekend beach vacation. Pleasant 10 min walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The house accommodated 2 families with kids and grandparents well!

A gorgeous property inside and out. Private hot tub and close to beach!
The place was great. Location was too, don’t skip the beach. Even in October it was a blast and just a short walk. Management company was timely and responsiveHow’s was great and updated. Only things preventing a 5 start experience were:1. The management company was very stingy about supplies. A 4 day 3 night stay only included 2 trash bags and 2 dishwasher pods. Obviously not enough. More impactful, zero shower soap or shampoo. Had to make an hour round trip to the store to shower. Pretty frustrating. 2. They clearly decided to not finish the renovation. And while the house had a spot for a third bathroom, it was left undone and locked. 2 bathrooms for a place that sleeps 10 got pretty tough. And no bathrooms downstairs meant the kids were having to come upstairs constantly to use the facilities. Otherwise great experience. Would definitely recommend. The place is lovely and we had a great time.
