Everyone comments on the location and proximity to great restaurants and entertainment. Agreed. However, both the a/c and the furnace worked great (we used both in 6 days). The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable so we slept great.
Rental was cĺean with great location. Only complaint wasthedoor locks

We are happy to hear you enjoyed the location and the cleanliness of our home, though we apologize for the issue that prevented you from fully enjoying your stay. We wish that you had alerted us to the issue with the lock while in the home so that we could rectify the situation as we worked to fix the issues to which you had alerted us. We will continue to work with both our local team and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you will give us a second chance to impress you.

GREAT house and FANTASTIC location!!
This house is so cute on the outside and a delight on the inside—nice space, good size rooms, plenty of furniture but not crowded. It was bright and open! I love that it has two bedrooms AND two bathrooms, which makes traveling with family much more comfortable. One of the best things is the location! It really is a few minutes easy walk to the beach!! It’s also a couple doors down from a nice market in the other direction so easy to grab anything you need. We plan on returning. ☀️🐚

SPI Vacation.
Loved the location. Two houses behind the grocery store, so it came in really handy since we had kids and we kept walking to the store to pick up stuff. You get a big house all to yourself. Quiet street especially coming back tired from the beach, it was nice to hear quietness. Felt safe seeing people at different hours walking by with groceries from the store. Older house compared to some of the newer ones on that street but hey, it was a cool place to chill. No complaints on our end.
We loved the location and indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen well stocked to cook--which was really appreciated. There's a small grocery store behind the house on the next. The house is so close to the beach entrance and that was fabulous.
The king sized bed mattress was old and we found a sock in the linens between the sheets and comforter, which was kinda off putting and actually getting into the house was tricky since the code given was to the upper door and not the street access door, but other those two things--everything was great.
