Had a handful of teenagers and this place had enough room for the kids to have fun upstairs and the adults relax downstairs. Beach was just a quick jot down the road. Loved the porch and chairs to just chill outside. The beach was nice, not crowded, plenty of space to spread out and you can park on the beach! Kids are still talking about the house, the beach, the area and wondering when we are going back and can we stay at the same place. Definitely will be going back to the area and hope to stay in the same place. Had ages from 15 to 77 and fun was had by all. Great communication with the host. We all had a great time. Thank you.
The house is nice. There are several repairs that need attention. A bathroom door that got stuck and my grandson had to have someone come get him out. Sliding door got off track. It was middle of night. Also, some plumbing issues, and another sliding glass door that is broken and unusable. The freezer handle is also broken. There were many little things like that, which need attention, but did not stop us from enjoying the house. Make sure you bring everything you need because there are NO extras. Good location. Like I said. Nice house , but needs some TLC.
House was clean with the wear & tear you would expect for a beach rental. Setup is great for everyone to have their own bed and wonderful for kids. Proximity to the beach was great, truly a short 5 min walk, or just drive because you can drive on the beach. No beach chairs or toys, etc. so definitely bring your own!
