The place was fully equipped, in a well groomed community and a great location. The only things I would say would be that the cloth wingback chairs needed a cleaning. The beach summer tram to the beach was not available. The description does say it is seasonal, but never mentioned the dates. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks so much for the great review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the location, community, and everything the place had to offer. We appreciate the heads-up about the wingback chairs and will definitely get those cleaned up. Thanks also for mentioning the beach tram info — we’ll work on making the seasonal dates clearer in the description. We’d love to have you stay with us again!

This was a great house to stay in. Everything was nice, clean, and comfortable. There were plenty of kitchen items to cook with and plenty of towels in the bathrooms. It was also nice to have some beach items to use, and although they were worn, we were happy to not have to buy anything. We liked the location to the beach - an easy walk over. Our kids really enjoyed everything, too.
