If the beach is what you're looking for, this place is amazing. The property is close to many amenities and has assigned parking for the rental. My only wish is that I had access to the laundry.

Awesome location, new, clean and comfortable place. We didn’t want to leave! The grocery store and restaurants are close without feeling crowded on the beach or driving on the streets. The beach is full of families and we even saw a turtle laying eggs one night. We kept our distance of course.

Great little beach place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location and the unit! But the mattress is unit 1 is absolutely awful. It’s a cheap hard mattress and we feel for such a nice property it’s a shame to not have a comfortable bed!!!! Otherwise, we loved our stay!
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Oct 2026
Hi Shannon, we are happy you enjoyed your stay overall! The mattress was purchased just a year ago in Oct 2025 after the remodel from the 2024 storms, mattresses are also very subjective, what is uncomfortable for one person is perfect for another and we have not had any complaints so far.

Beautiful property directly on a great spot on the beach (and not busy/crowded like some areas along the beach). It was perfect for a mother/daughter trip but could easily fit more people with the pull out bed. The house was spotless when we arrived and was easy to keep clean with a deck area and two mats leading into the house. The shared laundry was convenient (on the outside of the house). Beds were comfortable and the house tastefully decorated coastal style. The beach chairs and towels that were available were so helpful! Would 100 % recommend this property and will visit again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. The unit was spotless upon arrival and exactly as advertised. The location truly cannot be beat—situated in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful beachfront that was never crowded, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.The kitchen and entire property were exceptionally well-appointed with everything we could possibly need. We especially appreciated the beach shed, which was stocked with chairs, umbrellas, and other beach essentials, making our days by the water effortless and enjoyable.From start to finish, this was one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve had. We highly recommend this beautiful and rare beachfront property and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Home away from home but with beautiful views!

The rental is clean and has everything you will need for the week minus clothes and food! The views are incredible! The beach is literally steps away from the door and is very private! You will not be disappointed!!

Perfect family vacation!

We enjoyed every minute of our Spring Break vacation at this property. The unit was very clean upon arrival, there was plenty of space for our family of four (with 2 elementary age kids), the kitchen supplies were well-stocked and the beach access was incredible. We loved the convenience of being steps from the gorgeous AMI ocean and spent all day - from sunrise to sunset - enjoying the beach. We hope to be back soon!

If your goal is to spend as much time as you possibly can on the beach (and with very fee people on top of you) then this is your place. The host was great and responsive, the housekeeping does an amazing job getting it spotless for when you arrive and it is outfitted with everything you will need (from the kitchen to the beach shed).I almost did not want to write this because then more people will be renting and that could possibly make my return dates harder to get. And my wife and I already have at least one return date already in the plan. This place was everything we needed for a relaxing week on the island.Not only are you right on top of the beach but your close to shopping, restraunts (everything is close but I mean within walking distance). Love it!

One Hot Porch

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental staff was amazing. The house was spotless and in great condition. Now the bad, no hot water in the kitchen sink, bed was to hard like sleeping on the floor. Porch was tiny with no roof, you could barely walk around the little table on the porch and no shade. The porch that was there before the hurricane was the best part of the vacation! The landscaping could use some attention. But otherwise our stay was great!
