Overall it was a nice place and close to the beach with a nice view. We would go back without hesitation. The only thing I would say is they need a few more towels and rags for guests and just a few basic cleaning things out for just basic spills and things. “Kids” lol. Be nice for all the porch lighting to work around the sitting area so you can sit outside and enjoy it at night. But other than just little stuff it was fantastic.

It was a great location. A nice size space inside. Great parking space. Overall clean. But there was not any spare sheets or pillows. It basically comes with just the bare minimum. Don't intend on finding all the essentials that some other rentals will provide. Our experience is certainly memorable. And not having some house hold products did not ruin the experience over all. But for others who come, I suggest bringing extra pillows sheets and blankets. My family of 6 would stay again.

House was easy to find. Code to get in worked perfect. Bare minimum of kitchen items, exactly for 9 people. Only 9 towels total for a 4 day stay. FYI: Icemaker doesnt work on purpose was what I was told when asked about it. Plugs on front deck do not work, deck itself is questionable around sides and back of house. The house was clean and tidy. Beautiful view of the beach. Little things do make a difference. Idk if would stay again for the price, but the view kinda makes up for it.

Nice View!

This house was special in that it had a great view of the water even though it's on the second row. We enjoyed out time on the porch and the short walk to the beach. There are quite a few beds for this being a three bedroom. Our group of 5 slept had plenty of room with even 1 extra twin bed not being used. The kitchen was nice and clean along with modern appliances. It was great to be able to wash our clothes before heading home. Another bonus was that there was a place of entry to drive our car on the beach, so we hauled the heavy stuff down in the car. (Make sure you get a permit!) The host and the maintenance gentleman communicated well via text and helped clear up a few issues while we were there, nothing major though. A few extra towels and maybe even a few beach towels would have been great! All in all, it was a very good stay!

Great view, cozy home

The house had everything we needed for our stay. We loved that it was so close to the beach and that it wasn't as crowded as Crystal Beach or taking the ferry to the Seawall. I would stay here again in the future.
