Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness
Space wise for 6 adults and 4 children 3 and under it was good. Needed attention to cleanliness and not enough towels in bathrooms master had 2 no hand towels 2 wash towels. Cushions inside were not clean and Cushions were not clean outside area. Proximity to beach was not as expected. Dishes needed rewashed before used on most pots and pans. When we did have a problem that needed addresses they responded immediately and rectified the issue.

A marvelous property!
Location -- Space -- Condition -- Furnishings -- Service
All were terrific! Perfect setting for a Memorial Day weekend gathering.
The pool, patio area and porches were all enjoyed.
Rental company provided prompt service.
Only disappointment was the flooded, muddy beach access via 8th St. Presumably this has been remedied.
We used The Tent Guys service for Tent, Chairs, Cooler, Drinks, Corn Hole... a really great way to enjoy the beach without having to schlep things over the dunes.
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We truly appreciate you staying with us and are so glad you had a great experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
