The house was in a perfect location. Literally a 7 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of room to entertain and enjoy family. We will definitely be back.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Communication and check-in process were a breeze. The location was nice and the neighborhood was quiet. Though after entering, we noticed the house was not completely cleaned; we had to wear shoes because the floors & rug were dirty/sandy. The refrigerator barely worked at all and the kitchen sink had little to no water pressure. Check-in is at 4 to allow time for cleaning, but the cleaners were still there at 5:00. Overall, I wouldn’t rent this location again, but we still made the best of it and enjoyed our stay.
Very roomy property with many beds. Nice fenced yard for the dog. Well equipped kitchen but appliances are all very old. Fridge had no shelves left in door and froze some of our food. Stove does not heat evenly anymore. Flooring has spots that are worn to the subfloor. Could use some Kleenex and toilet paper holders. Price was fair.
The Beach house was a great stay and and not far from to beach for a reasonable price we definitely going to give this place a try again in coming year.
Thank you for allowing us to stay here during a family trip.
Overall we were really pleased about this stay. The location is great and the house had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house was nice for a family. The only downside was that the vacuum didnt work to cleannup sand and some of the light switches didnt seem to work properly.
Our family and friends of my daughter spend the weekend to celebrate her bday. Everyone had fun! The place is clean. And the AC is really cool especially during this warm weather that is what we need most.
Great location, quiet neighborhood, big privacy fenced yard. House was cozy, clean, comfy beds, and kitchen had all the amenities we could ask for. Loved it!
Perfect spacious clean comfortable beach cottage with fully fenced yard & nice balcony. Close to beach, great coffee shop & pizza place. Well furnished & supplied. Met our needs perfectly. Would stay again
Communication from the time we rented through the app until the last day was excellent, very friendly and helpful, the property was very clean and comfortable. Things that are beyond the structural that made us love it, which is that we could walk to the beach, have coffee in the morning on the porch, the view is beautiful, definitely pet friendly, they were able to run around downstairs while we spent time with the family, these are things that we value a lot, we will definitely be back next summer😊
First of all...3rd bedroom is downstairs in a cubby hole with no bathroom! You are climbing stairs in the middle of the night if you need to potty! The porch has nails sticking up. Part of the rails are hanging. Beds are super hard!
We stayed here for one night and it was perfect walking distance to the beach. The only complaint I have is we had trouble finding the 3rd bedroom. We finally found it and it was outside and we were not expecting that. Just wish it would explain that but other than that it was an amazing time!!

2bedroom
Was ok but should be listed as a two bedroom. Third bedroom is downstairs and has no bathroom. Flimsy bunk bed. Smells moldy down there. Upstairs was good. Shower handles need Fixen.
