Christine was very easy to work with. Location and description of room and nearby activities were spot-on.If looking for something remote and semi secluded but close to many bigger cities this is a great place. If want your own beachfront/pier/pool you will not go wrong with this place.

This property is in a Beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to fishing pier, pool, and 2 restaurant. The only thing I didn't like was the cleanliness of the rental. There was trash left in the kitchen and bathroom, there was also a coffee pod left in the coffee machine. The bathroom was very dirty I stepped on the rug and it was full of dirt the shower curtain is full of soap scum and mold. The tiles of the shower still had hair and black stuff stuck to it and the soap dispensers had brown stuff caked on where the soap is supposed to come out of. I will say that I did tell the host about the trash and she was very apologetic I honestly don't think the host knows that the cleaners are just not doing a good job. My family and I enjoyed our stay even with the extra mess.

Nice

Overall property was clean and maintained well.All furnishings were dark Wood which made the whole unit very dark even with drapes open. Information (menus, etc)Needs to be updated. We were only supplied with 1 roll if toilet paper. I think this was an oversight. Overall host takes care of property and us very responsive. Good host
