Had a fantastic stay in PCB! House was as described and very clean. Our host was super responsive to questions and kept an open line of communication throughout the booking process and during our stay.
The location was perfect and easy access to the beach. The view from the deck was beautiful. The owners were great. We would definitely stay here again. It is a memory maker.
Jennifer. Thanks for you and your family being great guests. Thanks for taking care of the place and making memories with your family. We really hope to see you again. Take care. Alex and Debbie
Ideal location steps from the beach. Comfortable, clean unit with a partial covered deck. Easy and quick communication with the host. Overall a wonderful experience.
The house is spotless upon arrival and the location to the beach is great, you literally walk down the stairs from the house to the beach and ocean! Would definitely recommend staying here.
The house was in a great location for what we wanted to do and the house has an amazing view to the ocean. Loved staying right off the beach!! Such a good fit for our family!
We had a great time! Only complaint was a few of the deck nails were coming loose and caught a couple toes.
