The house had plenty of room for our group and we only encountered one issue and that was rectified immediately with the staff. The only suggestion I could give would be to have something to scoop the ages out of the pits with when cleaning, but otherwise we had an amazing time here.

Cute little house close to the beach

This is a quaint little house with a lot of character, remodeled nicely. The listing was very accurate. The online photos of course make it appear larger than it is as like all real estate photographers use a wide angle lens which distorts the view but fits it in the camera frame. It does have low ceilings since it is an older home, my husband at 6'2" just barely fit under the ceiling beam and the fans. We enjoyed the coziness of it and the fenced in yard with our puppy! The bed was very comfortable and the small kitchen was sufficient for cooking our meals. It was a quick walk down to the beach and a short drive anywhere we needed to go.

Great location

The location of this property was pretty perfect. Minutes from the beach, grocery store and shopping. Very easy to get to and a quiet area. The house itself was just as listed. Perfect for our family of 4 and 3 other family members. I enjoyed the fact that there were not a lot of stairs. The AC unit worked just great and I love that were fans in every room. For the most part the house was clean, but like most VRBO's I think some regular deep cleaning needs to be done a little more often. Also, being able to rent a golf cart and have it waiting there for us is a BIG BONUS. All in all, it was a nice place to stay. Thank you so much.

The staff at New Wave did a great job. I was not that impressed with the house that we stayed at, Sea Glass Cottage. The bedrooms were hot and the air conditioning could not keep up. The house did not have enough cleaning supplies including trash bags. Overall the office staff was great but for the cost of the house for 5 days, I was dissatisfied.
