Really nice house/duplex, the location is very nice, super easy to walk right onto the beach. Very nice kitchen, bathrooms, beds, tvs and furniture. Good parking, the only thing that could be improved some of the balcony doors are hard to open and close. Overall a great property!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Location

House was beautiful however poorly designed. Stairs need non slip strips and house description should point out number of stairs to inform prospects as not all people can maneuve that many or provide elevator access. We were denied use of the elevator and I paid you over 6000 for a cottage that I could not manuever due to lung damage following COVID pneumonia in 2021 spending 2 weeks in ICU fighting for my life. I felt cheated as I had to spend the majority of my time on one floor. Two of my family members suffered two falls during the week on the stairs. Also I reached into the cabinet for a large pot and when I took hold of it...it was coated with grease. Apparently it was put up after usage without being washed. That was grossly nasty As I said your home is beautiful but we will not be renting it again. Thank you.

We had wonderful stay at this property. Rooms were incredibly clean, kitchen well stocked for all your cooking needs. The view was spectacular and beach access was perfect for what we were looking for. I only gave it 4 stars b/c of the stairs. OMG, the stairs! The property does have an elevator but wasn't made available to us. When you're lugging bags, food, coolers, etc in to the house, don't pack heavy. 2 full flights of slick stairs just to get to the kitchen. It was a challenge, to say the least. We all bit it a few times on the stairs/landing. I would definitely stay here again, however I'd pack differently to navigate the stairs or ask for elevator access.
