Easy check in and check out. 10X better than a hotel and the price was better than every other site I visited. I would sugest hooks in the master bath for towels. That is the only thing we found to fix and it took us a while to come up with that. We loved the stay!

We stayed mid July so it was very hot outside and the AC had a hard time keeping up and you’re only allowed to set it to 70 or else it freezes up I would recommend supplying more fans in the house or replacing the unit. Also there was no hair dryers for use if needed which isn’t a deal breaker I went and purchased one for our family for 20 from dollar general

The house can accommodate a lot of people, and the check-in and check-out processes were very simple - the hosts did not require much to leave the house, just your normal removing trash, running dishwasher, etc.At the price point, the rooms were fine, however there were a few small details that were not ideal. The overhead lights in the main room with the king bed did not work, and the middle room with the bunk beds did not have an outlet at all. If you're having kids stay in that room, not a huge deal, but for adults it was strange. The bottom bunks of all the bunk beds were also set against the ground, which was uncomfortable to get in and out of for adults. Additionally, the first bathroom's door did not close all the way, seemingly because the house has shifted and the door could not fit into the jam.Overall, a fine place to stay if you're not spending much time at the house - very close to the beach and Margaritaville down the street - but some details could be improved.

It was nice place but I do feel it needs some updates new couch and chairs they all slump down when you sit in them very uncomfortable, also place tv’s in each bedroom not just in the living room, more maintenance done like the lights down in the car port, the lights in bedrooms, the microwave above stove working, it just an overall check fix everything to work 100% accurately. Stay was fine maybe come back another time later in the year. Also take care of your customers with good offers and affordable for the the elderly

We noticed a small amount of water under the kitchen sink. There may be a small leak. We ended up going home early because some of us got sick with the Flu. Other than that the cabin was cute and clean. We would love to rent it again. Thank you!! The Bergeron Family
