Great beach break during this pandemic. Easy access to beach and used the pool regularly as well,. Had a good day kayaking as well. We mostly prepared food and might suggest a few xl pots/pans and larger garbage can for kitchen

Amazing Vacation Home
We loved this house for our family of 7. It was perfect with the pool and the short distance to beach access. The bedrooms for the kids wet perfect. The only thing we would change would be the cleaning company. There was a good bit of sand all over the bedroom floors and one shower had no curtain and the other one was pretty dirty. Other than that it was perfect!

Liked: Location
This property is all about location, with a very short walk to beach access. The private pool was great for dipping, and we appreciated the small charcoal grill. The space itself was great for bigger crews, with ample sleeping spots and a large table. Amenities were mediocre though manageable—if you plan to cook, I highly recommend bringing your own knives, spices, etc. The property provides minimal necessities, so you'll need to bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. Linens were scratchy and the rental company requires you to pack up everything yourself before leaving. Ultimately, it was a serviceable rental but did not feel particularly homey or well-appointed for the price point.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Jessica. We're glad you enjoyed the easy beach access, private pool, and spacious layout for your group. We’re sorry the home didn’t feel as well-appointed as you had hoped, especially for the price. We truly appreciate your honest feedback on the linens and supplies, and we’re working toward providing more starter items for guests next year. We hope you’ll consider staying with us again and giving us the opportunity to provide an even better experience.
This property was perfect. It was a very short walk to the beach and the pool was amazing. They came and cleaned the pool while we were there and everything was spotless in the house. We really enjoyed the pool patio and used the kitchen for every meal. It was such a relaxing vacation and we cant wait to return.
This was the perfect location and house for me and the family! The little one loved the kids themed room and especially the pool. The beach access was just a quick walk up the street. The place was very clean and the rental team was very responsive. Everything was super close by and take out options were awesome. Highly recommended this place.
Clean, excellent location. Ample plates, glasses and silverware. Pool was beautiful!
Could have used :
Muffin pan
Mixing bowls( only two small ones)
Dustpan we bought one and left it
When you come down the rear steps you have a very clear view of whoever is using the shower.
