We absolutely loved this rental! It was very clean and inviting. The outdoor shower was amazing, on top of the huge deck to watch the sunrises and sunsets. The kitchen was fully stocked which made cooking an easy process. The host was super nice and communicative. We even stayed an additional day because we loved it so much!

Good location, not jammed in between houses. Would like to give 5 stars but the outdoor lighting was poor, especially the front under the deck. Also the house had a disagreeable odor that stayed after we opened all the doors snd windows. There were 5 air fresheners throughout the house. So they know. Good floor plan and pet friendly for 150 pet fee.

Great location! Easy check in process. It was a little to far to walk to the beach with a 4 year old and my husband with a back injury but we rented a golf cart that was delivered to us within an hour. That made it perfect.
