Guests may help prevent insects from joining them by keeping doors and windows closed, wiping down counters, and putting away food properly.

Best House on PCB!
I can not brag about this house enough! It was exactly like the house in the photos ❤️ Very nice furnishings and stocked with everything you can think of. The best part is the two story decks with “wash off” areas and its own short beach access. There were even plenty of beach chairs, a beach wagon, swimboards, and umbrella. And two sets of refrigerators and washer/dryers were a hit! Will definitely rent again for a big group!

Perfect family beach house
This house was perfect for our family vacation. With 7 adults and one baby, everyone had their own space and more. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Most of our time was spent relaxing on the upper deck with spectacular views of the ocean! We usually stay in a condo so this was our first time to have a house. It was so nice to be able to step out the back door and be on the beach. Would definitely return!
