House was a great location, but it was a lot more dated than we expected or the photos showed. It also wasn’t super clean and we ended up having to go out and buy cleaners and a broom.

We had an issue with the hot tub and it was quickly addressed by the property manager. He maintained continued communications with us as we worked through the issue. Location is prime and this was our second stay in this home we love the privacy most of all.

So easy

This property is so easy to get to beach, dining and shopping. The hot tub and pool were great for the little kids. The plug outlets in the bedrooms need to be replace as they won’t hold plugs in them so you have to use extension cords to plug in phones etc. the property managers were great in Responding to any issues we had. The little kids absolutely loved this place.

Excellent family home

We loved so many things about the vacation! The beach is absolutely beautiful and the location of the home is perfect. Just steps away from the beach. We also enjoyed the pool. I highly recommend this home for comfort and convenience. The management company was excellent and answered questions quickly. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay

We loved so many things about this house…pool, hot tub, space for two teens and 10 year old and two adults. Our favorite thing was easy access to beach and chairs/umbrellas set up daily on the beach. Made it so easy to pop down to the beach at any time without having to lug everything. Would easily stay again!

Overall very nice and comfortable accommodations. Beds are very nice and comfortable. Living room sofa needs replacement or cleaning due to being dirty & stained. We had to put a sheet over it to sit comfortably. When stripping the bed linens at completion of our stay we discovered that the bed pillows are stained and need to be replaced. Hot tub is in disrepair and needs attention. Suddenly caught off guard by pool maintenance people suddenly appearing in the back yard unannounced. No knock, no verbal hello...just walked in gate. Very nice and inviting fenced back yard. Very nice, quiet gated subdivision. Beach access very easy and close. Beach chairs on the private beach are a definite plus. Would stay again.
