Great stay!

We enjoyed our visit - the location was great - convenient to restaurants, stores, etc. The only thing I found a bit frustrating was the lack of a chest in the main bedroom - we moved a small one from the closet of the second bedroom so we could fully unpack since we were there 10 days.

Absolutely loved our stay here!

We had such a wonderful stay at this rental home! The location was perfect, with beautiful beaches nearby and so many amazing places to eat. The home itself was incredibly cozy, clean, and welcoming. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout our stay, which was a great bonus. We also really appreciated the homeowners’ recommendations! That were fantastic and helped us discover some truly wonderful local spots. Everything about our stay was easy and enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend this home to anyone visiting the area, and we would love to stay here again the next time we’re back. Thank you for such a great experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good location

Nice, spare house with all you need. Had a great stay. The kitchen has a strange lump in the floor. The backyard was pathetic. The water smells swampy

A couple concerns

We loved the location and cleanliness of our rental, however the thermostat was locked on, heat some days we would leave with it set on 69 only to come back and it was up to 79 or 80. We did not touch it! Also when we tried to open the windows the only one that would open was the living room. The only thing I would change outside would be the back patio area….it wasn’t very appealing. Thank you
