Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay so much.Some of the cookware and dishes were not too clean. Like the dish washer mayh not have cleaned well maybe. But not a problem as they were easy to wash. Might have enjoyed a blit more hot water when everyone came in at the same time but again not a big deal.Thanks so much we had a wonderful time with the family.

We booked a last minute trip before going back to school/work for the holidays and Pam was quick to respond. This place was perfect for us and so peaceful! They thought of everything you could need or accidentally forget to bring while on vaca
This one is hard to review. The location is epic. The floors felts like it was a beach itself. We adjusted by putting on shoes. The showers were wet with hot water. We cooked well. The kitchen was well equipped - the best equipped I’ve ever seen at a STR. The cleaning crew needs to slow down and do a deep dive clean. If you don’t believe me, look behind the master bed or the TV in the den. The moisture will always be tough as it is as close to the beach as possible. Great location. House need a terrific de-humidifier. I would go back and I would know what I’m getting. I would take a floor cleaner to get it right when we got there.

Thank you,

Had an absolute wonderful time. The hosts were very helpful from beginning to end. The bnb was beautiful with an even better view of tge beach. My goal was to stay away from the crowds, and was not let down. A very quiet area, and we had the beach to ourselves. A must stay, by all means!!
The location to everything was amazing loved how close we were to the beach. Great views. Super comfy beds. Great communication with the owners. We will be back again next summer.
Excellent location! Everything was well stocked! The only thing was to get from the downstairs rooms to the one upstairs, you had to go outside and up the stairs.
The house was beautiful, so was the view. The kitchen had everything we needed along with all that we needed to shower. Check in was very easy. Rick and Pam were easy to get ahold of if anything was needed.
We loved the access to the beach. The house was smaller than we expected but we honestly had everything we needed, and our family of 10 fit comfortably. Walmart is close enough for delivery and getting to any of the activities in town is easy! The hosts were so kind and available if needed.
This was a spectacular location. We loved being able to walk right out the door to the water and to open the door and hear the waves rolling in!
