This was the perfect place to stay for a couple of days at the beach. We did the NCAA volleyball tournament and it was a quick walk to the gate. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect to cook in after a long day in the sand! We can’t wait to book this again for next year!! If you are looking for a beach getaway, this place is perfect.

Everything was as advertised! The house was extremely clean with sparkling white quartz countertops in the kitchen! It was welcoming for our pups. Also close to restaurants and a fancy Dollar General. Owner was a pleasure to deal with for check in and check out.

Great location as mentioned in ad and I felt safe. Could take more pride in some of the cleaning details. I had to clean the floor to walk around barefooted. Return vent and filter is really dirty. Mold in bathroom and kitchen. I left messages for the host and I never heard back from her via text and on listing website. It is what it is and as an adult I took care of my issue.
