The proximity to the beach can’t be beat! The double bunk beds were also nice. There are no beach amenities (chairs or towels) which was disappointing for a beach rental. Also not great storage (no dressers, closets full of random stuff like a Christmas tree). Overall it was worth it for the location, but might not be the best fit for someone who wants to feel more settled or have beach amenities.

2 minute walk to beach. Very convenient.I would suggest throw blankets in living and additional blankets on the beds. The AC runs verry cold, we had it at 74, and that was too cold.

Great location. Easy to get to. Fit our overnight stay very well. Might want to focus on some details like our bathroom sink was very loose and towel rack too. If you provide a Keurig coffee pot might eant to include a few pods. Overall it was good.

Sweet, modest house with excellent access to beach.

The house was modest but clean, and our family was comfortable and felt very safe. Overall, we had a great time playing on the beach and in the gulf, which was exactly what we were looking for.Management responded promptly to our requests and accommodated our needs.

Nice trip.

The house was cute and adequately equipped. The problem was roaches. We contacted the renter and informed that we would like someone to come out to take care of the issue. Never heard back from them and no one came out. We found 3 cans of Raid roach spray. This made it very clear that they are aware of the problem. Otherwise, a fun trip.

The House was clean and comfortable for our small group. It's located on across from a stretch of beach that was just improved with new sand and the beach was great. The appliances at the house could be upgraded as we had issues with the washing machine - discovered you can only wash 2 towels at a time and the fridge would not keep cool. We notified management and they should be replacing / fixing but we had to buy ice and keep our food in a cooler during our stay which was a bit of a pain.
