Comfy House in Great Location
This house was in a perfect location with easy access to the beach. Our stay was comfortable with plenty of room for all ages in our group. The pool was amazing with a number of toys and floats. The outdoor shower was an added bonus. The kitchen had most of what we needed - despite the pictured Keurig that was not present on our arrival. We also could’ve used some oven mitts. Our check-in was delayed without notification so we arrived on time only to be told a late check out prevented us from entering the property on time. They were receptive to feedback and were quick to send maintenance when we spotted a few bugs.

Family Vacation
We had a great time overall loved the property. The downstairs apartment had a bad smell that they tried to take care of with plug ins and scent absorbers. It made a few family members a little sick. The upstairs house was wonderful, but I would only recommend booking this if you don’t need the downstairs apartment. Communication was great and prompt with the property manager.

Great property and quiet. Loved the proximity to the ocean but wish there was a more direct and closer route to walk to the beach. I wish we would have rented a golf cart.

Great location, comfortable, no problems during our stay. Only suggestion; the lighting outside is minimal, so it would be helpful if the stairs had more lighting so no accidents would occur. And motion sensor by pool did not work. Everything else was great!

June 2024 family vacation
The location was good, close to beach access. Plenty of room for our family to enjoy time together and parking for 4 cars. Clean and functional overall. Nice to have a small pool. Issue with air conditioning in separate unit but Management was quick to respond and took care of it same day. May not work for everyone due to all the stairs and no elevator, but great for us. Easy check in and check out. Thank you!

Wonderful Stay!
We had a great time at this house! Overall recommend this place! The pool was very nice. The washer and dryer are in the garage and the first floor apartment. The house met all our needs and has a really nice front porch. The first floor apartment A/C wasn't working until the second to last day, but we were only using it for laundry, so didn't give property management a heads up until the end otherwise I am sure they would have sorted it out. Overall, great stay and if this house was available when planning our next trip, we'd strongly consider staying here again. Thanks.

Great Location
Great location. Pool was a huge benefit. We loved that there was a pool alarm for the back door- great safety feature. When we arrived, the AC was not working. The property management company quickly got a maintence worker and then eventually an AC company out to repair it. However, the room on the bottom floor of the house was never properly cooling even when we left- it wouldn’t get below 80 degrees (which was fine because we ended up not even using it except for the washer and dryer). Property was nice.

Beach Vacation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect set up since one family member has a prosthetic leg and stairs are an issue so the downstairs suite made this house a great fit for us. We had everything we needed and ample amount of space. We would definitely rent again.
