The home is right on the beach and was a perfect home for a two family rental. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the neighborhood felt safe and easy to navigate. We loved the home and would rent it again without hesitation!

Family Getaway

My family and I absolutely loved this home! The location is phenomenal and access to the beach is like no other! With the layout of the house our adult children and grandchildren were able to spread out and have some privacy! The master suite and bath on the top level allowed my husband and I to have our own retreat when we needed quiet time away from all of the little ones! I CANNOT compliment enough on the beautiful covered porches! The only thing that would have made the porches any better would be a swing!!! We will definitely be staying here again! Even our daughters requested that we make these reservations again, next year! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with others!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was clean and as described. Great location. Loved it. Needed more supplies since we were a large group, trash wasn’t picked up from previous stay and the jacuzzi was broken when we got there. Was subsequently fixed. Never got compensation that the property mgmt spoke of. None of the issues were mgmt company fault. Over all an awesome experience tho. Mgmt company was very professional.
