Everything was perfect during our stay here. Cleanliness is very important to us, and we have nothing but positive things to say. We enjoyed every space the house had to offer, and the bikes were a huge plus! I definitely recommend this house to anyone who doesn’t mind a 10–12 minute drive to the beach.

Amazing property!!
We had such a great time at this rental. The host, Megan, was super helpful and responded very quickly. The pool was nice and clean, there were bikes in the back garage available for us to ride, and some games in the main garage. 10/10

Great House with comfortable beds and excellent Gathering spots.
We were in town for a funeral and were lucky to find this place. It was a great house to allow family to be able to come together and spend time together, but also to have some time to yourself. 10/10 would stay there again if in the area.
