NOTE ON BEDS:
There is one folding crib in Master bedroom.

The house is for you to use during your stay, including the porch. The back yard is a little rough, so please keep that in mind if you go that way.
We are two close families taking care of this Airbnb, and we will be available when you need us, but if you don't, we will certainly give you space and privacy.

Do NOT stay here!
The house wreaks of mold and mildew. The water smells like rotten eggs. The bed sheets have rips & tears. We checked out after the first night due to health and safety concerns. The owner promised to work with us for a full refund. Two separate VRBO employees assured us a full refund since we checked out in under 24 hours and since we were forced to leave due to health concerns. To date, the owner has not refunded our money and is no longer responding to us, and VRBO is essentially backing away and leaving this to the owner’s discretion.

Disappointing
The property was not clean. Vents were thick with dust. Open food in refrigerator and cupboards. Freezer was dirty. Coffee pot had not been washed—coffee still in pot. Beds were almost only mattress on floor. Sheets and pillowcases didn’t even match. No extra blankets. Very uninviting. Not even a picture on the walls. Had to buy candles because musty smell was overwhelming.

Great location
Safe and convenient neighborhood. No frills but clean space. Quality of beds, towels, couch was a bit disappointing. Kitchen garbage bag as a curtain on one of the windows. No decor. Probably a good place if traveling with little kids.

Nice spot, needs a little attention
Plenty of room for six adults. Enjoyed the front porch patio and the location so close to downtown. We spent time at the Dunes a short drive away. Owner needs to work with the cleaning crew to be sure floors and refrigerator are clean. Children's hand prints all over television that my husband felt compelled to clean. Also I rewashed all the dishes before we used them. There should also be enough plates and cups for the amount of guests this property can hold. There were only two dinner plates and four coffee mugs. No mixing/serving bowls. In spite of that, we all enjoyed our stay.

Cutest house ever!
A friend/ RN and I were On a travel contract and stayed at this house for 13 weeks. Plenty of space cute kitchen sat out on the front deck in evenings after work when it warmed up, drinking wine and relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet. People out walking dogs and kids playing basketball, no sirens to indicate trouble. Owner stayed in touch and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Nice hot showers too! Really enjoyed staying there.
