Cheer Competition

Quick trip for cheer competition at the Wharf. Our only complaint is not being able to leave the air conditioner in the bedroom running due to vibration and noise.. Otherwise, everything was great!

Good beach cottage

Stayed here recently with my husband and two pups. Property is exactly as described. Simple beach cottage one street back from main drag. Great location, easy to walk to beach, restaurants and bars. Kitchen is well equipped and great to have laundry. No pantry items so guests should bring their own. Appreciate being able to bring our dogs. One suggestion would be to offer a couple of beach chairs and towels. We did not spend any time on beach but that would be a good add. Only downside is the bedrooms are tight and both beds have footboards. We both stubbed our toes! All in all a good cottage and we would recommend.

Cozy Stay

Property was a home away from home dream stay! Clean, great location, remote access (walking distance) from restaurants, grocery stores, and beach. The Nance's were absolutely amazing, quick response if I had any issue. I was soo sad to leave, can't wait to book with them in the future.

Good location

Property was within walking distance of some restaurants, shops, and scooter/slingshot rentals. Working washer and dryer, nice shower, and cute decor. Perfect for a small family. About 5 minute drive from public beach access and parking. It was a nice place to come back to from a day at the beach/exploring.

Return visitors

This was a return visit for us. We literally arranged our trip to ensure we could stay at this property. Not only is it walking distance to the beach and restaurants, but my favorite feature is the deck which is uncovered and faces South so we can get sun any time of the day without having to leave the amenities of the house.

Awful Experience

Place was messy, food was still in the fridge. Owner was rude and entitled that I clean the place even though they make me pay a cleaning fee. I asked for a refund for wanting leaving early because of the horrible experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Won't be returning....

The location was GREAT. However, when we arrived after a 14 hour drive, the sheets were smelly and dirty. We had to wash them before we could sleep on them. The bathroom ceiling was covered in mold. My daughter found a cigarette under our bed. The TV was awful, service was glitchy. Cabinets were broken. We just arrived home and as I was unpacking a HUGE cockroach crawled out of one of our bags that was kept on the kitchen counter during our stay. I don’t understand why we pay so much in cleaning fees and have to do so much cleaning when we get there. I expected more for the amount we paid for 4 nights. We will try another place the next time we visit.

This place was really cute and overall we had a great stay. The location was convenient and only a couple of blocks from the beach in a nice quiet neighborhood. Our only issue was the ac unit in the living went out during our trip but the owner responded quickly and had someone out to fix it later that evening. We greatly appreciated the quick responses and obviously that’s something out of their control so besides that slight issue we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place!

Great for Bachelors

The owner was great and extremely responsive to messages however it just wasn't quite what we were expecting in comparison to the photos we viewed online. We were there for a wedding and only had one small bathroom mirror to get ready in. Also the place had some mold and mildew visible in the A/C units and shower. We had extra tenants (ants) during our visit and one of the rooms had egg or cheez wiz on the door. While it wasn't the place for us I think a group of bachelors would be a perfect fit for this place. The location is great and as I said the owner is very responsive.
