Nice accommodations other than the pool which was the main reason we booked this particular place. Was told the day before we were to arrive that the pool had a leak, therefore out of service. Also, wanted the pest control service to come spray while we were there. Very accommodating for large groups and did like the two kitchens.

This is my first time staying in a Vrbo property. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded expectations. It was well appointed and housed my entire extended family very comfortably. We especially enjoyed the game room. What an extra plus! It was an easy walk to the beautiful beach. I was so impressed with how accessible they were and how promptly they responded when we had questions and when we needed help, they went way above and beyond. Thank you for helping us create a marvelous family memory.

Good Place, Good Price for a church group!

We rented this house for our church youth group attending a conference, and it worked great. Half of our group stayed here at nights, but we used the main floor for meals and gathering times for our entire group during the days. The double kitchens were just perfect, and the games and pool were great too. The house was also easily in walking distance to the public access beach. Terrific place!
