Location and property was convenient and clean. Great access to the beach and my son loved fishing off the dock in the back of the property. Check in wasn’t ready on time although it was less than an hour wait, we hung out at the beach until it was ready. We did come across a couple of roaches during the stay. The 2nd night of the stay the internet was down the entire day/night which was unfortunate due to the rainy weather that night. We had planned to just stay in and watch movies but with no wifi, we did not have that option.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the convenient location, clean accommodations, easy beach access, and that your son had fun fishing from the dock. Those are some of our favorite features too! We apologize for the delay in getting your home ready at check-in and appreciate your patience while our team finished preparing it. We're also sorry to hear about the internet outage during the rainy evening. Unfortunately, outages can occasionally happen beyond our control, but we understand how disappointing that was when your plans changed. We also appreciate you letting us know about the roaches. Coastal environments can occasionally present these challenges, but we'll be sure to share your comments with our pest control team for follow-up. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

We love the overall location of this property with the bay in back and very close to the beach. The family enjoyed the dock on the backside for fishing and use of the outdoor grills for cooking meals. Only complaint I have was the bed was uncomfortable.
