This house was absolutely perfect for our family beach vacation. The beds and pull out couches were plentiful and comfy, lots of options for 3 families with kids 3-19. The walk to beach access was easy and the pool was a nice break from the salt water. Plenty of bathrooms & well-appointed kitchen, lots of parking & lots of porch choices for sitting outside to watch the rain, stars, and sunset. Would definitely recommend!

The only real complaint I can think of is that there were no kitchen wash cloths or kitchen towels. Also wish would have supplied a few more toilet paper rolls for the bathrooms.

Perfection!

This is the perfect place for our family. It is within an easy walk to the beach. It is a spacious place - well kept, clean - has anything we might have needed. Of primary importance to us - with 3 young teenage grandchildren - is the private pool. It was wonderful!
The hammock was a relaxing respite for adults and kids alike!
Pool time = fun time, especially on those sweltering 95 degree days.
Fun in the pool.

Beautiful home, clean and conveniently located. Pool was great, clean and accessible. Loved the walkability to the beach. Some things needed refreshing, like kitchen pots and pans. Need a large one for a boil. Bathrooms have mold growing around vents likely due to moisture from showering. Barn doors to baths need a handle inside the bathroom. Would stay again, overall a great home.

Great place for a family reunion

The towels were plentiful, and rooms large with lots of space for us. There were a few minor items that could have used a little more attention. However the location and views from the top floor were amazing and we loved every moment there!
