The unit was very nice, clean and updated. Loved the decor in the unit. The bedrooms were super comfortable and bathrooms including the towels were great…The only real issue is the water which we knew about ahead of time. My only suggestion would be replace the living room furniture. I’m sure if we have the opportunity will stay there again.

This house is absolutely beautiful. Very clean and everything you needed to have a perfect vacation. We cooked every night and the kitchen had everything you needed to prepare a meal. The porch was awesome; we ate dinner out there every evening and the view was perfect. We highly recommend. You can tell the owners go to great lengths for the upkeep. And the best part is it's pet friendly and that is huge to us.

The space was perfect! Clean and well kept up and comfy for our small family. Had all that we needed and the property management. Company was very attentive to a small issue we had with the disposal and fixed it right away. We will definitely be back and this will be our go to rental when visiting family.

Everything was super clean and well stocked!! They even had board games to play. The views were perfect! You could see the beach super well and it’s only a 7 minute walk to get to. We really enjoyed our stay here and will probably be back!
