The house was nice and clean and stocked with utensils and dishes and pots and pans. Plenty of toys for the kids and the hot tub was fantastic. Less than ten minute drive to the beach was an ice also. I would Recommend this to a friend.

The backyard was wonderful! Sunny spots and shady areas to sit. Lots of room for family games. Fully fenced so safe for kids and pets. Great, well-maintained hot tub.Not the cleanest. We did lots of cleaning ourselves. Beds were very uncomfortable.Location was very convenient for walking, bike riding, shopping and trips to the beach.Communication with property management was great. Timely and efficient.

We booked a four day stay over spring break. Home was clean and had all of the conveniences needed. Neighborhood was quiet and nicely located by stores and restaurants. We were only a few miles from the nearest beaches! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider renting again.

We needed to find a rental fairly quickly as we were having work done at our house. The rental was in a perfect location for our entire family (2 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs). Convenient to everything and we even walked to dinner at some great restaurants.
