Excellent

Right Rudder Retreat was perfect for us 5 adult's, 2 kids, ages 7 and 4. It was very clean! We had my mother in law which is 67, with us so we didn't walk to the beach. The pool was cool. There is no tiki bar open at the pool. It's been closed for a couple of years. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need. There's two coffee pots. That was very nice to have. Overall our stay was perfect, and I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kevin and Jessie!!

The house is spacious and in a good location to walk to the community pool. The bath towels were very thin. Not many extras like trash bags and dishwasher pods. There is a shuttle to the beach which is very convenient. It picks you up at the house and drops you off right back at the house. There was no information in the house we saw on how to access the shuttle. I had to get that information from the pool attendants. The beach wagon is very helpful. However, be aware that once you get to the beach walk platform there are stairs at the bottom, which make the wagon difficult to manage. There are a couple things that need attention: the light covers under the kitchen cabinets easily fell down and the lever that adjusts the living room blind would not stay connected. The beds were very soft and uncomfortable. The host is extremely easy to communicate with and is very responsive and helpful!

Great family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. Upon entering, I immediately notticed how clean it was! It was very spacious with plenty of room for everyone, especially the kitchen. The balcony was great for afternoon coffee with a relaxing breeze. My only real complaints were the upstairs master bedroom mattress which was sinking in the middle and some of the outdoor patio furniture needs to be replaced. The hosts were very nice and quick to respond to any questions I had.

The house was clean and close to the beach. The owners made sure they reached out before check in. Numbers were given in case I had any questions. Nice quiet neighborhood! I highly recommend this house! 10 out of 10.

Short get a way

Everything was great. Even let us turn down the air when asked. Our only complaint is the mattress need to be replaced with the king and queen upstairs. They fold in like a taco. If cooking you will need to buy all condiments and seasoning. We bought salt and pepper and donated. We also donated coffee filter and coffee.

Great Location!

The property was very pleasant to stay in, and our group all enjoyed the house. The location is in the middle of a lot of things to do, including the beach, the restaurants/bars, and shopping areas. The hosts were very understanding and easy to communicate with, which was really nice! Unfortunately, the dishwasher was not working while we were there. Overall though, we would recommend this place to our friends and our families!
