September stay

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 a nice stay, the location is great and very close to fun bars and restaurants! There is easy access to the beautiful and clean beach! The house slept everyone comfortably and we loved that there was a large kitchen table and enough seating for everyone! We do wish the house came better equipped (beach towels, beach chairs, etc) and the check in time is pretty late. There was a leak while we were there that caused issues with the AC and we were impressed with how quickly it was resolved.

The property was absolutely beautiful and nicely maintained. There was direct access to the beach. The house was somewhere around 200 yards from the beach. Pristine white sand. The view of the beach was unobstructed from the house. You should know three of the bedrooms were small with 2 twin beds. These would be great for kids but not so much for adults. The outdoor pool area is great with a large bar area. The management company quickly dealt with a couple small maintenance issues.

Very Nice House

I rented this for my mother’s 60th birthday so all of her 13 kids, their spouses and her grandkids could all be under the same roof and it housed all 33 of us! The beach really is right there and they have the facilities (like two fridges, two dishes, a custom large table) to house a large group!
