There are some updates the host should consider like racks in the shower to place towels, pest control for the small bugs, an iron, TVs, a full set of towels for each guest, WiFi that works. It would’ve made the stay more comfortable.

The bathroom toilet wouldn’t flush sometimes and the toilet paper was wet for some reason when we arrived. Our sleep was disrupted by bugs climbing on the bed there was no bed bugs but definitely a lot of roaches. The dishes provided were all in the cabinet dirty and there were no trash bags provided. The beds were all really uncomfortable but extra sheets blankets and pillows were provided. The location is amazing everything is walking distance and overall the stay wasn’t completely horrible it was a place to sleep that’s all.

Amazing stay!We had a wonderful experience at this rental. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, making check-in smooth and always available to answer our questions. The house itself was fantastic, and the location couldn’t have been better—easy walking distance to the beach and great restaurants. We were very happy with our stay and are already planning to come back next year. Highly recommend!

It's a nice place to stay with lots of space to move around. Parking was a little difficult and trying to get luggage past the trailer in the driveway was problematic. But, it worked for what we needed and we had a relaxing time.

Great for all!

We had a great time. It’s a great location. It’s a comfortable place to stay. A few amenities we would recommend are some pot holders and place mats and maybe a few coasters but other then that the house had everything we needed to have a nice weekend with my husband and 2 of our children and my mother in law. This was a great house and it met all of our need!

The perfect spot

The perfect spot....this great location provided us with a short and lovely walk to the beach and pleasure pier. We were less than 15 minutes from the marina's, because we went deep sea fishing, and we're close to great local restaurants. The location was easy to remember to get back to. It was quiet, cozy, and relaxing. It was very enjoyable and quiet. And Ericka was amazing with timely responses, very helpful, and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place as we will be rebooking in the near future.

Great location with no thrills

Property meets minimum requirements. Low water pressure, a lot of light bulbs burned out, internet and a TV but no channels, and finally a coffee maker that leaks when you use it.
