The property was impeccably clean and included a generous amount of beach towels and bath towels. Audrey is an exceptional host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved the location. It worked perfectly for all 3 generations. Very clean and items stocked and ready for toddler and pet. Shower and sink drains back up badly.. but maybe no guest had mentioned so they didn’t know to check and clear. I would suggest the house binder be updated with information on the television set up and hot tub(which took a full 26 hours to heat from 95 degrees to 104 degrees ). Easy fixes, but not intuitive. Also the host listed everywhere to contact is apparently not the proper contact, so again an update to the binder and other communications would be helpful. Would return. Thank you.

House was perfect for a family vacation! Big space to eat and hang out together while also comfy rooms to get a great night sleep or have some separate down time. Beach chairs and towels were nicer than we have at home. House was well stocked to cook or enjoy drinks and smoothies. I was worried about the walk to the beach but shouldn’t have been.
