The home was not as advertised. You will not get what you expect and deserve for the price. The picture tells a false story. The Air conditioner didn’t work, there were bugs everywhere. Tiles in the bathroom were falling off the walls. Appliances were old and barely functioning. Don’t bother to call management, they will do nothing to resolve. And like us, you will deserve a refund but will not get it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. During your visit, our team responded promptly to each concern that was reported and made multiple trips to the property to address the issues as quickly as possible. While we understand how frustrating unexpected maintenance issues can be, we always strive to resolve them during a guest's stay whenever possible. This is a vintage waterfront beach home, and while it offers the character and charm that many guests appreciate, we understand it may not be the right fit for everyone. We appreciate your feedback!

Couldn’t have asked for a better beach house. The back porch had such a relaxing view of the intercoastal with beautiful sunsets. The beach was a quick 5 minute walk. The house itself was stocked with everything you could need including kitchen gadgets, coozies, tuberware, books and board games. The dock access was also awesome to have for the boat, paddle boarding and fishing off the dock. The neighborhood was very quite which made for a very peaceful vacation. All the beds were also super comfortable!
