The house was perfect for us! It was clean and well maintained. It was perfect for walking our 4 yo to the beach and stopping at the pleasure pier a little further down the beach. Will likely stay at the same place if we visit again.

Thank you for your stay and your great review, Michael! It was wonderful hosting you and we are happy to hear you enjoyed the home and it's location. Hope to welcome you again soon!
Great location to the beach!Needs better pest control services. Seen a lot of ants and water bugs/roaches. Upstairs had a strong dog pee smell. We’re not dog owners so we definitely wouldn’t stay in another dog friendly spot. Downstairs no issue with smell at all. Nice backyard area. Host was very responsive and helpful. We had some Amazon packages that never got delivered to the correct address. Be weary of you plan to have anything delivered, the delivery driver might have issues finding the address. It was a great touch to have beach chairs and a wagon already there.

Thank you for your stay and for your review, Krystal. We genuinely appreciate your feedback. We have scheduled a deep clean to address these issues. Happy to hear that you enjoyed the home and its location otherwise.
Nice fenced yard for pets, but being the house was up on cinder blocks our small dog could go under the house and get out to the front.Bathtubs were very slippery to get in and out of and nothing to hold onto.Maybe add a small lamp in bedroom instead of just having the ceiling light.Was given wrong code to get in and couldn’t get the door locked when leaving.Kitchen was well equipped. Overall, house was nice.
