Spacious home that was very clean. The location was amazing just a few minutes to the beach. Neighborhood is nice and quiet. The kitchen was large and had many utensils and dishes. I would stay there again!
We absolutely loved this location. It was beautiful and fully stocked, except when we went to put together the puzzle of the house and several pieces were missing...lol. We also could have used more trash bags but other than that perfection.
We had a very nice stay...check in was easy and we were able to check in a little early to beat rainy weather. The house was a good fit for all of us--8 in total...6 adults and 9 and 11 year old girls.The kitchen was well stocked, and we made use of it for breakfasts and lunches. Very convenient location to the beach!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The house itself was great! Amazing price for amazing location! Clean, good space, safe area, super close to a public beach access! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is communication with the company was annoying. If you sent a message they just sent an automated reply and didn’t answer your question. Thankfully we didn’t need them that much. Overall the house was great
