This house was very small but cute and the layout worked well. It is close enough to downtown and the beach to enjoy dinner out, time at the pier and a relaxing day at the beach. It is also far enough away from the crowds of spring break offering a great get away. This house would be perfect for a family with kids that don't mind bunking all together for an all-night giggle session. We would definitly return for more visits

We had a wonderful stay. The place was exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable and very peaceful. Everything we needed was provided. Communication was smooth and check-in/check-out was easy. No complaints at all. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks for your review, Gabriel! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
The pool was great and the air conditioning worked perfectly. It was a great quiet spot in the hustle and bustle of summertime at the beach. There were a few minor repairs that are needed to be fixed, but nothing that really impacted our stay. They might also want think about adding a microwave to the kitchen.

Thanks for the 5-star review, Barbara! So glad you had a great time staying with us.
We truly enjoyed having room to enjoy the outdoors with an oversized lot with fire pit area and outdoor dining. The house is quaint and perfect for a couple of small family. Just minutes from the beach makes it a great location as well.
Cute place, perfect for a quiet getaway for a couple days.
Mosquitoes are huge and there are alot of them in the grass, bring spray.
Overall good experience

Sugar Shack
We were disappointed it was not as cozy as pictures indicated. Grass was long and inviting for mosquitoes. The pool water was low and we weren’t sure it was prepared for guest. Inside, there was a small, very worn couch. And the bedding was not comfortable. We ended up only staying one night. The landscaping crew did arrive Saturday as we were loading our car. Host was very nice but the property has untapped potential.
Good place to stay with nice pool, but couldn’t enjoy pool because of mesquite swarm , but we stayed right after a flood the week before, so it’s just nature. Would stay again.
