Wonderful stay! Perfect for traveling with dogs!

Owner Terri was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. Check-in was a breeze, and the unit was clean and had everything we needed.This was a far better option than staying at a hotel, especially since we were in town for a friend’s wedding and brought our dogs along. There was plenty of grassy space around the property for them to walk and play, which made things so convenient.Terri’s place is also in a great location. It close to the beach (a quick drive) and near lots of restaurants and shops. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend staying here!

Quiet but beautiful

This was my first stay in a home instead of a hotel and I was worried, but everything was perfect! Terri communicated and answered all of my questions. The house was homey and peaceful and in a quiet neighborhood but it was close to everything we needed. The first day we were there we got to see the turtles in the pond behind us and they came right up to us. We went to the pool and that was nice and quiet as well. This is a great place to stay!

A/C Not Working, Unable to Reach Host, Left Property

I nor VRBO were able to reach host with A/C not working. We transferred to another property at almost midnight after 5 hours of check in.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Aug 2023
We're so sorry the A/C went out on ya'll. Sadly my account was linked with my Google voice phone # and has since been updated. There were problems with the # and didn't get your messages right away. I'm glad vrbo helped get your family moved and we were able to reimburse you. I'm sorry it was a bad experience. The new air conditioner works great and I'm proud to say we have all 5 star reviews on other sites. So, this upsets me as well. We strive to do my best and would be happy to accommodate you in the future if we could.
