Maria, we definitely loved having you and your adorable fur baby visit. We hope to have you visit often.
All the best,

What a great place to spend with family. The house was perfect for 6 adults and three kids with ample parking. Was walking distance to the beach. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for low key and quiet area. Our two pets enjoyed it to!
Our time together at this place was so comfortable and welcoming. Easy to settle in and relax. Just the size needed for our family of 5 adults and an 11 year old.
1. Very clean and well-furnished for a beach rental2. Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach and CB pier3. Plenty of parking underneath the house and in the driveway, we had 4 cars there
The house was in a great location to the beach. It was very clean. The house could use some updates for example. The refrigerator needs a new strip around door and freezer drips into bottom part. Shower heads and knobs could use an update all were very old and hard to turn off. The property did have some things in kitchen, it would've been nice to have e a bit more amenities in kitchen. The furniture in living room could be more comfortable. A longer hose under house in parking are would be a little more handy. The outside shower was a nice bonus. Having the towels and sheets included was a SUPER nice amenity. The trash and recycling bin could use a spraying of disinfection and cleaning. The bugs and smell were pretty bad.
