House was great location was great . Listing was a little misleading with showing amenities you can't use during certain times that should be stated . We picked this house for the use of the hot tub that was broken and we let them know but they never came and fixed we would've stayed elsewhere if hot tub wasn't usable as that was going to be part of our relaxing vacation plans

Great kid and dog-friendly home!
We stayed for a week with our 1.5 year old daughter and our medium-size dog. The house was comfortable and well set up for our needs. Loved the location, walking distance to the beach. Would definitely recommend!

Awful management company
I will never rent a property from this management company ever again. We arrived in the evening and after settling in we found the house without any linens or bed sheets despite paying for them. I called the 24 hour number was told told someone could bring bed sheets around 1 am. With 3 young children that was not an option. I told that person to have someone call me first in the morning, I was told the manager would call me in as they arrive at the office at 830. at 930 the next day I called the office and after having to ask to take to a manager I was told sheets and towels would be brought to the house later that day. Linens were dropped off on the deck and we made all 5 beds in the afternoon. After writing an email to this company explaining why we were displeased and that our review would reflect our experience we were called and told that our email was taken as a threat to the manager. In short house was fine, if you want to sleep in beds with sheets or have towels when you pay for them do not rent from this management company. To the owners, this was not your fault and the house was as advertised expect there microwave needs to be replaced
