This was a great location! Easy walk and access to the beach, and a short drive to restaurants and activities. Doug, the host, was very easy to communicate with, accommodating, and he responded very quickly to my questions. The house setup was nice and spacious. I'd rent from him again.

Searenity now was just that! Our family beach trip was perfect! Everyone enjoyed their own space and bathroom! Doug was awesome, helpful and attentive to our questions and specific details we asked about to make our planning and trip extra easy! Parking was sooo good! We were able to fit all five of our travelers cars on the allotted right side of property! Loved the extra spacious dining table for our family meals! The enclosed outside shower was so convenient and private, helped out immensely with rinsing off and swimmy cleaning! The beach closet around the back patio had a variety of things we used to have added fun…small and large tent canopy, boogie boards and buckets. We will definitely consider another family stay!

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 17, 2024
Thx you Hannah. Really appreciate it the sub-par review. :( I allowed you to check in early at no fee. Soap was in the write-up instructions as a bring item; however, the cleaner leaves some hand-soap in the kitchen and bedrooms as a courtesy. In the future, a text or phone call to the homeowner could be super helpful.

Wonderful house and Great Owner!

The house was just perfect for our weekend away to attend a family wedding. Great accommodations for our 4 teenagers, my 84 yr old daddy, my husband and myself. When we has a little snafu Sunday morning before check out he let us stay a little later to get things worked out!

Great space and location!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was ideal; just a very quick walk to the beach access! And the house was nice, plenty of space and nice front decks. Doug was extremely responsive and helpful! There are some things to note: there is no gas grill any more; the dishwasher doesn't work well (it was really difficult to get the flatware clean!); and there is no dish drying rack.

Plenty of space

This three story condo is great for a large group. We especially liked the four bedroom/bathroom lay out. This is not a place for those who can’t manage stairs, but that made for plenty of privacy. Not a bad walk to the beach. Straight shot to the beach from the driveway.

Comfortable beach getaway

This was a very comfortable home, with a great open gathering space on the main floor. The only thing that kept this from being 5 stars was the fact that the top balcony was closed off (after being prominently highlighted in the listing) and that we were not advised to bring toilet paper (which we would have happily done if just told there wasn't a supply in the house). The beds were comfortable and everything was clean when we arrived.

Thx James. I was hoping to earn your 5-star rating. But perhaps next time. The top-balcony was closed as it's a (major) safety concerns. As for the TP, I'll be sure to note that for upcoming visitors. We leave 1-roll in each bathroom; but we don't think it's appropriate to stock the unit more than that. Thx again -Doug

Family vacation

Booked this property for a family vacation. Doug the owner was quick to reach out and start our conversation. The house was super clean, easy access, and everything was just as he said it would be. My only complaint with this whole vacation, it just didn’t last long enough. They never do. 10/10 I would recommend this place to anyone. Will definitely be back.
