I don't think you really want my review. Everything was just okay. It was clean enough and we loved the location. If any other vacation rental we have ever had by the beach supplied beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and more. Basics like paper towels and toilet paper. It was just okay. We loved the porch and the location but the house itself lacked in a lot of basic items that most people would want

Ants, ants and more ants. If you rent this property be prepared to have ants everywhere and in everything. You can't put anything in the pantry (open or sealed) because it just gets covered with ants. I guess I should have realized this because the first thing I noticed in the pantry was a can of Raid and and roach killer. The bathrooms have ants everywhere. Walls, counters, floors. My other problem is I've never stayed in a place that has more uncomfortable furniture than here. This could be a 5 star place because it's right on the beach. If the owner would take care of the ant problem and maybe upgrade some of the furniture. I would definitely not recommend this place.

The beach view was exactly what we were looking for in this vacation. The property was a few steps from the beach and the sunrises were spectacular. The property had more than enough space for our group. The only draw back was the fight over the bedroom with the bathroom within our group. We would highly recommend this property for a vacation with extended family. The kitchen had anything you might need and plenty of room to cook. The porch is a slice of heaven on earth. We even saw dolphins while relaxing on the rocking chairs.

We booked this house for our family trip. It was very clean and well kept and had that Coastal Charm we were looking for. Check in and checking out were a breeze. The bedrooms were very roomy and clean with plenty of places to put luggage and bags. The huge porch was our favorite hangout as we had a rocker for every person. Only a few steps to the beach it was quiet and peaceful and each day only had a small handful of people which we really enjoyed. All the crowds were down where the hotels were. Perfectly located going out for a meal or to grocery shop everything was a very short drive away. We enjoyed everything so much we look forward to booking the house again next year!

Older but great beach house that was PERFECT having a family of some who wanted to watch the beach and some who wanted to go to the beach. Loved that they allowed pets and had a small yard. Front porch was so peaceful. Kitchen was nice. Plenty of bedroom. Worked well for extended family meeting up. Loved the huge couch and large dining table for hanging out.

Ocean views from front porch make this property worth it in every way. The house is old, the bathrooms tiny and could use a little work but there were plenty of beds and enough room for us all to have a fabulous vacation! Kitchen was A and plenty of space to relax and enjoy. Walk directly to beach! Blinds in the rooms didnt work and lighting everywhere took a few minutes to figure out, but the small problems/ things were small. I recommend this home to anyone who wants beachfront and space to enjoy!

We loved this home and the location can’t be beat. It’s a relatively quiet spot with a prime beach location always available. There is plenty of space in the home which easily accommodated our family of 14. The porch was a highlight of the home. Always a great place to view the ocean. We would not hesitate to book this home in the future.

Right on the beach!

The house is literally sitting right on the beach. We loved the home. Even though it was a large house, it was super cozy. The front porch is awesome, and it has a brand new renovated kitchen that was well stocked. We would definitely recommend. We are planning to book it again for next year.
