Loved the place overall, clean, easy access to beach and other shops. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat "at home". Hot tube and grill were great amenities! The beach chairs were super nice, wasn't expecting those, but they were lovely to have. Only real complaint was the backyard was not as pictured. No grass in the backyard for my dog which was the main reason we chose this place, it's all rocks now and was very difficult and painful for her to walk on. Would still recommend this place, it was truly a lovely stay and felt like our beach home away from home!

Amazingly Clean

We were very happy with the cleanliness of this property & the amenities provided. New appliances, big tvs, comfortable mattresses and luxury towels were awesome. Back porch area was perfect for a late evening cocktail or cup of coffee. Thank you for providing an amazing property at an affordable price.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Pros: Host was receptive and addressed below stated issues discovered at check in.Location was short walk to beach.Nice to have a fence backyard for dogs.Cons: Some kind of smoke smell upon entering rental when listing stated no smoking. It seemed to be in ventilation system as got worse when air was turned on. Host did provide an 2 air purifiers upon request.Wasn't cleaned well. Table was dirtyOnly had 2 coffee mugs. Had couple burned/broken plates. Had no skillet except a small one that was dirty. Host did provide 4 new mugs along with a set of 3 different size skillets.Pictures of outside furniture outdated as plastic chairs are faded and metal chairs have areas where rusted.Beach equipment pic also inaccurate as had 4 old/rusty beach chairs (they did work) but no wagon.Backyard fence area is concrete with stones/gravel, no grass.

House was clean, beds were comfy, beach stuff was so nice to have! There were plenty of towels, regular and beach. The only downside was the backyard pictures had grass shown in which was a big reason why we booked because we did bring our dog but when we got there, it was only rocks so our dog did have a hard time using the bathroom. The dryer knob did break and the host was quick to contact maintenance to fix it which was greatly appreciated.
