We had a wonderful stay! The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It was truly pet-friendly, and the small fenced-in area was perfect for a little outdoor time. The house was stocked with every appliance and amenity we could think of, making it feel like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again!

Only thing that I would have the owner do extra is to advise of her property line for parking reasons. Otherwise, clean and a great beach atmosphere. Several amenities there so renters do not need to over pack. 5 stars

The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Pamela, the host, was very accommodating. We didn't have a truck to move the kayaks to a launch site, and she offered to move them for us. I would definitely rent her home again.
