This house was absolutely perfect. The location was great. The street was quiet but close to shops and restaurants and an easy walk to the beach. The on suite bathrooms, kitchen and flooring were newly renovated and the house was clean. Pool and hot tub were nice and clean. Would stay again.

Thank you for your review. I’m glad to hear you found the house clean, the location convenient to the beach, and my communication responsive. I’d love the chance to welcome you back again!
The location was great. Beach access 3 houses down. Grocery, gas, dining, shopping etc. was minutes away. The pool and hot tub were nicely kept. The dog area is a plus! Fenced in and shaded in the afternoon/ late evening. Kitchen was well shocked. The 4 seasons room right off the kitchen was perfect for morning coffee watching the sunrise. There is a gas and charcoal grill. The host responded at a timely manner. Duck is not a far drive! I would recommend staying here! You will have no problems and the locations is perfect! We will be back.
The property was a fantastic location and easy walk to the beach. Property management was easy to contact and was ready to address any issues we had
