We accidentally wouldn’t some backyard and tried the back door on Q and a half Street but other than that it was great. it’s so close to everything. The property is private for such a populated area.

Property was in a convenient location close to the peir and restaurants. Fold out couch was barely usable (had a big section that sunk in) and no blanket or bedspread provided for that bed.

Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your review. We will take a look at the fold out couch as we were unaware of a sunken section. We regret that these items were not brought to our attention during your stay. As we do provide sheets for the couch in a nearby storage cabinet.

Some minor issues with the house. There was no AC filter, paint peeling from the walls, deck was in need of repair, you had to physically pick up the microwave and move it to an outlet (the only electrical outlet was on the opposite side of the countertop), and the living room tv did not work. The accommodations were as advertised and the house was very clean. The beds and pillows were firm. Overall good value and we were appreciative that pets were allowed.

Just what we needed!

The house was just as expected and while I loving being beach front it was the perfect distance considering I couldn’t be on this trip. Great location for my 3 teenagers to have independence. The host was very responsive and answered any questions promptly. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

Loved this property

This home was very nice and clean! Loved the layout. Only thing that would have made it a more perfect vacation would have been to have the flower bush cut back as it was growing over the sidewalk at the gate and to also have hotter water in the shower. It was lukewarm at best. But all in all I would stay here again

Absolutely Amazing!

Very cute home! Everything was immaculately clean! Beds were very comfortable! Has all the necessities you need to start with! Washer and dryer along with a great size fridge! Literally a hop jump and skip from the beach and Pleasure Pier, amongst great restaurants. It’s near some great little fishing spots! And if you need anything your host is just a text or phone call away! We will definitely be booking this home again for future family get togethers
