Merriway Cove was a beautiful home and a wonderful stay. The price was great. Short walk to the beach which was important when traveling with kids. I especially loved that there was a wagon and beach chairs and toys to borrow. Beachhouse rules were clear and fair. Will definitely stay again.

We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. The house was very clean, exactly as described in the listing, and the check-in process was simple and hassle-free. The home itself was beautiful, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The only minor issue we experienced was that the refrigerator wasn’t cooling properly when we arrived. However, the owners were extremely responsive and handled the situation right away. They promptly provided a cooler so we could safely store our food and arranged for a repair technician to come out the very next day.Their quick response and excellent communication turned what could have been an inconvenience into a non-issue. Overall, we were very impressed with the property and the level of service provided. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your feedback. We do have a quarterly Pest Control and I believe you came just after they had sprayed. Those are from the palm trees outside and they must have snuck in but at least the Pest Service worked. Sorry for any inconvenience. I wish you would have let me know during your stay so we could have hopefully earned a five star.

Relax and Reconnect

This house was comfortable and a close walk to pirate beach. We used the back porch every morning for coffee and to plan the day. The house is so quiet that multiple people can up and about and not wake those that sleep in. And played cards on the spacious dinning table every evening. The beach chairs and wagon were great for travel and sitting in the beach and the outdoor shower was perfect for getting back and keeping sand out of everything. We would come again.

Home was perfect for what we were doing while there! It was clean and very spacious! While the beach is within walking distance, it was easier to park in the open area by the beach access points and plenty of space on the beach in this area. Host was very responsive and supportive when we needed to reach out. The power was out for a few hours the first night and the host offered a cooler for our food and to even refund the full cost of our trip if we decided to leave. Very gracious offer but as the power came back on we loved staying in the home. It was great all around!
