When we pulled up to the property we were amazed! It exceeded our expectations! Each bedroom had its own veranda. The patio, zen garden and hot tub were delightful. We appreciated the sound machines and fans in each bedroom. It was the perfect spot for our sister get-away! Thank you so much!
We had a great time. The house was very nice and clean. Parking was a big plus for the area. Walking distance to everything we needed. Everything you need was at the house that you will need for your beach trips.
We loved our time here. The house was incredible for our party of 7. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. So close to the beach. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
6 of us stayed and LOVED it! Close to beach. Quiet neighborhood. Nearly everything you need to cook! Great coffee and coffee maker! Hot tub. So great! Only thing we wish they had is a salad spinner for our salad we made.
TVs didn’t work properly. WIFI on the TVs didn’t work. No bathroom towels in the downstairs bathroom. Too many emails about the time we had to check out. Very pricey for a check in at 4pm and a check out at 10am. Would not stay at this property again.

Would not recommend!
We did not enjoy our accommodations. There were safety concerns as well as comfort concerns. There was no smoke detector in the kitchen. Towels provided for us were not dry to the point that they left the bed damp where they were placed. The fan in the downstairs bathroom was inoperable. We received a text shortly after 9:00 PM alerting us that there was a noise complaint. We were inside with the doors and windows closed laughing as we played a board game. The information we were given told us quiet time was 10:00. We then felt we could not and did not use the backyard, fire pit, or hot tub because we might get fined for having a good time. And that’s how it felt, we sat at a table and played a game but everything changed once we got the text message. The refrigerator and freezer were set at unsafe temperatures and the fridge door did not close/stay closed without effort. The house is farther away from the beach than they describe or show! There is not enough seating in the living room and the chairs in living room are very uncomfortable. Not a place for people who want to enjoy a group. Maybe for 2 people but it would be very stressful to stay quiet all the time with more than 2 people.
