Property & management was great! Weather was rather windy & a bit chilly but overall we enjoyed our stay. Wish the weather was better that weekend so we would have enjoyed outdoor area more.

Nice, clan, cozy place had a little trash left in place, and boxes out back by trashcan just sitting on ground

Our stay was great, we stayed for two days for memorial weekend and the pictures were exactly as the house listed was. Minutes away from beaches and memorable restaurants! We will definitely be back!
The property was very clean and nicely decorated. It had all of the necessities and some bells and whistles. The backyard was great for our dogs and kids to play as well as a great night time ambiance. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend it to others.

Our stay was amazing. Our family really enjoyed the property and our host Neil was a very nice guy. They made sure we had everything we need for cooking and plenty of games for the family to play. We will absolutely b staying again when we visit again.
Our first summer vacation as a family of 5 was a success. This place was a gem and exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to coming back again.
