Quick walk to the beach. Wish there were some extra trash bags and toilet paper. Most of what you need is there.

Thank you for the review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that the location was convenient for you. We will take your suggestions about providing additional supplies into consideration to improve the experience for future guests. Your input helps us enhance our offerings. We hope you had an enjoyable stay overall and look forward to welcoming you back.
Quaint and relaxing place. Beautiful views of the intercoastal waterway and few minutes walk to beach. Plenty of room for our family. Friendly and attentive owners. Helped us when we had an issue with a lock.
We really enjoyed our time spent at this cozy beach house. The interior gives the feeling of a grandma & grandpa cottage, with an eclectic, somewhat hodgepodge style. We loved the location and enjoyed the beautiful sound-side views of the sunset on the deck every evening. One piece of feedback would be to install doorknobs with locks on the bedroom doorknobs. One of the rooms is only accessible through another bedroom or the outside and it would have been nice to have more privacy.
Stayed for july 4th weekend with the family. Great location close to the beach, short walk. Inside of place was ok, beds need to be updated, 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms or 6 people, was tough. We did use outdoor shower, although the way the place is laid out it appears that the outdoor shower is only for one of the duplex units. Also, the trash can situation was not good, need more than 1 container or communication on alternate trash disposal. Ours was full before we checked in from the previous renters. Outdoor space under the unit could be a great area to hang out with some entertainment additions, lighting, TV, seating, etc..

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconveniences you experienced. We'll address the issues promptly: improving signage, providing dish pods, ensuring clean silverware, replacing knives, and fixing porch hazards. Safety gates will also be added. Your safety is our priority.
Liked the view of the sound.
Improvements in bathroom and kitchen would make it even better. A few more hooks (eg on back of door) for towels and close would be helpful, plus toilet paper holder (eg floor stand) would make it easier; add exhaust fan.
Kitchen has no exhaust fan. Can opener would be nice.
