The location of this property was PERFECT for our needs. The beach was steps away from the back deck, and the intercoastal for fishing was steps away from the front door. The beds were super comfortable, and we were close to shopping & restaurants. Thanks for having us!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Location
Pictures can be deceiving. Location PERFECT! Outdoor steps,deck and furniture UNSAFE! One set of steps busted and disconnected at support entire stair case swayed from side to side. Large deck facing ocean was dry rotted,cracked with weak spots and all Outdoor furniture was rusted,dry rotted with holes. Only 4 out of about 9 were safe to touch. Inside looked like all the water spots on walls and ceilings were just being painted over instead of fixed. A certain level of safety and maintenance should be required if you are going to rent to family's for thousands of dollars a week. Put a little of that back in to keeping it safe for others PLEASE

Great location!

We had a great time staying here. The location is perfect to enjoy time out on the patio or a walk out on the beach. It was a little outdated but not a big deal! Especially with the ability to walk right out the back door to the beach. It had everything we needed for our stay!

Perfect place to stay when you don't want a crowded beach. We loved the quiet. Very nice to walk right out of the house, and be on the beach. Felt like a private beach! Great places to eat and shop right down the road!

Perfect location

Truly right on the beach. Could not be more perfect. The house is in need of updating but clean. The driveway was a bit stressful being very narrow, almost got stuck in sand and could only back out onto busy road. The town center is so cute and very close. We will definitely stay here again.
