Overall it was a good stay. I was disappointed that the beach was closed off due to construction because I booked this location to be close to the beach. I know this was out of their control but I wish we had a heads up. The place was very cute and comfortable. It was excellent for small kids because there wasn’t a lot of breakable decorations and decent space. It was also next to a nice playground which was great for kids. There were some odd things that were not available like a broom with no dust pan and no trash can in the master bathroom. As the previous review stated, you do have to bring all toiletries such as soap, trashbags, paper towels, detergent, etc especially if staying more than a few days. But overall, it was a good experience and was able to enjoy time with my family.

The stay started off a little rocky when we viewed the rental for the first time. The unit needed a good deal of maintenance. The unit was clean but very little amenities provided. You will need to buy soaps, paper products, TP and very limited towels are offered. Once we were able to procure the things we needed at the local supermarket, it was more smooth. The location is incredible. You don’t want anything closer to the beach if there is a storm because this is the town where some have fallen into the ocean. We learned that some distance is good. It’s less than 100ft or so from the beach and we spent a ton of hours there. The company offers beach equipment rentals as well so we took advantage of that. The local economy needs tourism after hurricane Erin really battered the place. We tried to patron several different locations and everything is close by. Definitely get your swag at Super Wings. They had cool hoodies, t-shirts and beach gear. The town is doing their best to recover from big damage, so we understand how the owners may be slow to undergo too much maintenance. It was comfortable, livable and we had a great time. I would recommend the owner address the water damaged floor in the kitchen and touch up paint at the very least. Having a screened in porch and an outdoor shower was perfect. We used both quite a bit. Great family vacation. Would choose this location again.
