Some small issues (e.g. damaged faucet/microwave), but overall the home was beautiful and the host was amazing! She was extremely prompt in helping us address the wifi issues, and the small details (e.g. snacks, beach towels, extra toothbrushes) were greatly appreciated. The home is beautiful!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Vrbo! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super cozy, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. We especially loved [insert a highlight—e.g., the stunning view from the porch / the cozy fireplace / the proximity to the beach. The location was perfect—close to restaurants, but still peaceful and private. Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and made sure every detail was just right.We truly felt at home here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

Stayed here for the weekend and loved it so much. There's a beautiful walking trail along the beach just down the street from the house which my family and I really liked. The house was well kept and clean when we got there, we actually received an early check-in notification too which was a nice little surprise. My family loved the backyard, some of us jumped into the hot tub while others grilled or chatted on the outdoor sofas. The fireplace outside worked great too! Although there were a few outlets that didn't work, Kristen did provide some alternatives. I really appreciate how quick the host responded to any questions or concerns I had. Very good communication!! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you again Kristen!
