Delighted that we gave you a great stay, that's our goal! Hope you get to visit with us again on a future trip, either here at the beach or maybe in the TN Smoky Mountains!
Host was very helpful and provided great info. One of the highlights for my friend was feeding the turtles (and they leave turtle food in the condo).Great location, easy to get to the beach and Crab Trap Restaurant.

Thanks for leaving a review. We regret that we seemed to have failed you during your stay. There were certainly a few things that even frustrated us as well - like our renovations not being completed before your arrival. However, they are finally getting wrapped up and our future guests will truly enjoy them!
Enjoyed our stay. Great location & plenty of space for a family of five. Across the street from the beach but an easy walk over to the public access. Owner communication was excellent from start to finish.

Property was clean and accommodating. We had everything we needed and it is located so close to the beach. The kids loved the pool and the turtles in the lake out back.

It was a very nice place. Unfortunately, the couch and chairs in the living room really needed to be cleaned. A few things need to be fixed in the bathroom,

The location is wonderful, just steps from the beach and a great lake view as well. My family enjoyed a dinner at the Crab Trap which is an easy walk and right on the beach. We had a few issues while staying but Chuck was quick to respond to messages and get things fixed.
