Pay attention to posting . It’s a carriage house . Owner occupied & the sliding glass doors are actually her house. The amount of spot lights are obnoxious at the pool. Definitely made you feel like you’re being watched just uncomfortable. Owner is sweet enough . Very clean but the pictures & posting are deceiving. Well stocked , beach chairs & towels were a plus . Owner does close her blinds but was an awkward feeling .

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the property clean, well-stocked, and appreciated the beach chairs and towels provided for your stay. We are sorry to hear that the layout of the property was not what you expected. The home is listed as a carriage house, and we continually strive to provide accurate photos and descriptions so guests can make informed booking decisions. We understand that everyone's comfort level regarding proximity to neighboring homes can vary. Regarding the pool area lighting, the lights are primarily in place for guest safety and security, but we appreciate your perspective and will take your comments into consideration as we evaluate ways to improve the guest experience. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate your kind words about the owner and are always looking for opportunities to make future stays even more comfortable for our guests.

We had the best time staying in this oasis! Everything was perfect and we even had beach accessories to take with us. We love this neighborhood so much and love how close the beach access was. We loved a great lunch and popsicle from Camille’s. The bed was so comfy and the kitchen and fridge was nice to have as well.
