Place was perfectly located right next to boardwalk. Beautiful views from the back porch to just sit and relax. Place was clean and the property management company was very communicative. Not a lot of plates or kitchen knives, just an FYI, so bring some. Will definitely be back.

Location and beach access/views are phenominal. Cleanliness of house was much to be desired. Mold all over. Old food smeared in kitchen appliances. Very skimpy on towels/wash cloths/trash bags

Gorgeous island, house needs a little updating/maintenance & cleaning. Found a piece of TP on the bed under the comforter. Pool wasn’t open but wasn’t impressive .. location is PERFECT!

Great time

We loved it! We had a wonderful time. The location could not have been more perfect. Very comfy beds however the a/c didn’t work very well upstairs and it worked too well downstairs. Would have liked a few more accessories in the kitchen but we had a great time nonetheless.
