The house was very clean upon arrival, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and several helpful items you may not think to pack yourself, which was definitely a plus. The location was also great, and check-in/check-out very easy and convenient. We appreciated was the yard being free of sand spurs, so walking back from the beach barefoot was comfortable and worry-free.There were just a few things that could have been improved during our stay. My family enjoys cooking outside, and while the listing mentioned a grill was provided, the grill was very rusty and required quite a bit of cleaning and extra effort before we could use it. Had we known the condition ahead of time, we would have brought our own grill.The picnic table also needed some maintenance, as several boards were loose or broken, making it difficult to safely move around. The backyard grass was fairly tall as well, and it would have been nice if it had been mowed prior to arrival.The spiral staircase was beautiful visually, but it was much narrower than it appeared in the listing photos. Carrying luggage upstairs—especially hard-shell luggage—was pretty difficult because of the tight curves and limited space.As an extra note, the plug-in fans in the upstairs bedrooms did not seem to work, aside from the one in the bedroom behind the kitchen. Thankfully, I had brought my own fan, so it was not a major issue for us.Overall, we still enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness of the home, the well-stocked kitchen, the easy check-in process, and our location. We also appreciate your constructive comments. We want guests to have the best possible experience, and feedback like this helps us continue improving the property. We’ll be addressing the concerns noted regarding the grill, picnic table, and bedroom fans with our team. We understand these details can impact comfort and convenience during a vacation. Regarding the spiral staircase, it is one of the unique features of our beach cottage and is included in our listing photos, though we understand photos can sometimes make spaces feel larger than they are in person. Our tip is to take the stairs one at a time with the luggage in front of you. We’re glad these items did not take away from your overall stay and appreciate you choosing our home for your vacation. We’d love the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future.

This is a great place to stay for young adults

The location is perfect! House was clean and host was amazing. However,, if your traveling with senior citizens or small children, the spiral staircase is a safety hazard and problematic getting up and down. Otherwise, highly recommend for young adults with teenagers.

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, and hospitality.

It is a beautiful apartment. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and have our own spaces. The upper floor was a bit tricky to get luggage up the spiral staircase, but it was not insurmountable. The upper king bedroom was beautiful with the personal balcony. The views were stunning. We loved being steps from the beach, and we walked on the beach every night.
