Beautiful house
We loved our stay. The only thing is there was no dish soap or hand soap. The dishes were dirty so we had to use shampoo to clean them. There was a lot of police activity behind the house. But, we really did enjoy our stay. It’s close to the beach and the pool was great. Our son enjoyed it.

Perfect spot for a Pleasure Pier Birthday Celebration!
This house is amazing - the location, the pool/backyard and the number of beds. My son and 2 friends celebrated his birthday with a day at Pleasure Pier with breaks to cool off in the pool. We will definitely rent this property again!
