Nice home but not comfy
House was nice, clean, and great location but no comfortable living room seating for more than five people. Living room furniture not very comfy and limited. Few kitchen amenities, if you plan to cook, bring your own cookware and accessories.This house only comfortably sleep 6 adults and 4 children. Would not recommend for more than 6 adults.Nice welcome set up and all the neighbors were kind.

The house is very nice! The only issue we had was the The kitchen utensils and the pots and pans to cook with needs to be updated. Very hard to cook with. also, the outside porch lighting is very bad and the front door lax, a blind or something to cover up for your protection and security and privacy

The overall property was cute and quaint but our house wasn’t very clean upon arrival and really needs some TLC and some much needed updates
The swimming area was tiny and didn’t have any lounge chairs for tanning

Beautiful House and good location
Very clean house, comfy beds, and good location. We were just a quick cart ride to the beach, and any restaurant. Quiet neighborhood. Check-in was easy, and communication was simple and quick.
