Amazing stay!We had a wonderful experience at this rental. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, making check-in smooth and always available to answer our questions. The house itself was fantastic, and the location couldn’t have been better—easy walking distance to the beach and great restaurants. We were very happy with our stay and are already planning to come back next year. Highly recommend!

It's a nice place to stay with lots of space to move around. Parking was a little difficult and trying to get luggage past the trailer in the driveway was problematic. But, it worked for what we needed and we had a relaxing time.

Great for all!

We had a great time. It’s a great location. It’s a comfortable place to stay. A few amenities we would recommend are some pot holders and place mats and maybe a few coasters but other then that the house had everything we needed to have a nice weekend with my husband and 2 of our children and my mother in law. This was a great house and it met all of our need!

The perfect spot

The perfect spot....this great location provided us with a short and lovely walk to the beach and pleasure pier. We were less than 15 minutes from the marina's, because we went deep sea fishing, and we're close to great local restaurants. The location was easy to remember to get back to. It was quiet, cozy, and relaxing. It was very enjoyable and quiet. And Ericka was amazing with timely responses, very helpful, and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place as we will be rebooking in the near future.

Great location with no thrills

Property meets minimum requirements. Low water pressure, a lot of light bulbs burned out, internet and a TV but no channels, and finally a coffee maker that leaks when you use it.

Hi Scott, we're sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:The water pressure was low during your visit due to the winter freeze, but we'll check it again to ensure it works correctly. We also checked the lights, and they are all working properly. We'll ensure any other concerns are resolved as well.We appreciate your review and the opportunity to address your feedback.

Nice and Economical

Nice simple and economical place with nearly everything we needed. Issues with entry were resolved by the property manager who was very friendly and helpful. A few things that would make the place better: blankets for the beds (it was chilly when we were there), patio furniture, and most importantly, more lighting in front, especially to illuminate the steps leading to units 1 and 2 (my sisters both slipped off the top step because of poor lighting).

We stayed at this property from April 11–12, 2026, and our experience was extremely distressing.During the night, we noticed bugs crawling in the bed, which after investigating further we realized they were bedbugs, and I later developed visible bite marks, on the back of my neck. This was alarming, and we felt we had no choice but to leave the property early.We immediately contacted the provided host contact that night but did not receive a response until the next day. We were told pest control would be contacted, the owner notified, and a refund initiated, but after that, we received no further communication.We then had to contact VRBO support ourselves and explain everything again. We were told a third-party manager, Evolve, would reach out directly, but we are still waiting to hear from them.This situation was not only disruptive but required extra precautions after returning home to avoid contamination of our belongings. Not to mention our trip ruined for our 3 little ones!We’ve provided videos and documentation and have been responsive, yet the issue remains unresolved. Situations involving health and safety concerns should be handled with urgency and clear communication, which has not been our experience.Until this is properly addressed and resolved, I would strongly urge future guests to proceed with caution when considering this property.
