Will sleep 6 adults and 2 kids comfortably. I have stayed at this property a few times and will book again for next yr. My only suggestion is a pull out bed couch for the living room for 2 more people to sleep and give a comfortable place to sit in the living room. We took a queen blow up bed for living room.

Fun Spot for Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the best time at this place! Loved the fact that it sits on a large beautifully maintained lot with no neighbors on either side. Our balcony views were spectacular for sunrises and sunsets along with excellent views for watching the action on the beach. Excellent location to the Big Store and local eateries. We had 6 adults and 2 kids and dogs. The house was accommodating for all our needs. Can’t wait to rebook for next summer. What an awesome week full of fun memories!!

Great location right on the beach for 3 couples over NYE. Comfy beds. Cargo lift very much appreciated for this over 70 crowd. We added a few Dollar General items to the kitchen, and the cabinet doors would benefit from hinge repair, but overall we had a great time.

It was pricey for three nights and we were unable to rent for 4 nights..... 3 or 5 days only which made us have to pay for a nights stay elsewhere. Moving luggage from place to place for older women, made it inconvenient. I think there should be a change in this Otherwise our stay was pleasant right on the beach. The price to use the lift 100 extra. For us again older women, and the cost we already paid...should include the lift. We had a good time and made memories even though.

Courtney C.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Pros: The location with regard to proximity and view is fantastic. The check in process was easy, bedrooms were as expected & comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials. Cons - The outdoor photo is misleading- there is no trail that goes directly to the beach, and walking across the dunes is not permitted. Therefore, you have to walk around the dunes to the public access point. This is not a huge deal, but for the price paid, it would have been just as good to save the and rent something in the second row with a good view. The lift remote was missing. After notifying the management company, it was still not resolved during our stay. So we had to schlepp all of our belongings up several flights of stairs. Not a huge deal for us - but if it had been others who needed the lift, this would have been awful. No extra garbage bags were provided, and it is required to get all of the garbage bags out, so that wasn’t great. We had to improvise. No paper towels provided - glad I always bring my own! There is 1 extra roll of TP in each bathroom, but it is extremely cheap stuff. No fun there. The towels provided with the service are adequate but just cheap towels. The indoor furniture is very basic and worn out. The outdoor lounger chairs are very worn. The dingy replacement cushions help with function, but are just dirty and worn also. Overall, it was okay, but 100% not worth the price tag in my opinion. I expected a little more at this price point.

Hey, the management company said they got you the remote that very day, as promised. I wish you would have contacted me that day, or even during the rest of your trip. Thank you for your kind words about the property and location. We concur - the views are one of a kind and spectacular.

Perfect spot for a beach vacay!

Excellent location, perfect for families with small kids. Just beware that the room with 2 twin beds is actually a bunk bed room only suitable for kids. The host, Nayomi, was super friendly, quick to respond to messages and replaced a non working oven within a day.
