Reviewer Comments:
The house is absolutely stunning! Perfect location and amazing views from both front porch porches! They have tons of beach toys and chairs. The house is very well maintained and beautiful. ! T.I rentals were amazing to work with. They responded very quickly to our request for an early check-in and late checkout and also was able to find my wife’s missing wedding ring very quickly and get it returned! We had a fabulous time with our son and dog. We will definitely be back!
The house is in a wonderful location with great views. A pet friendly destination made it easy to travel with my little dog. TI Properties was great. Super responsive via email and even the emergency number when I forgot the door code. The accommodations was perfect. The house was spacious, beautifully decorated and stocked for a basic weekend stay.
