Nice house perfect location, but needs some attention. Many leaks, door and windows. When it rains water comes in the house, wall and floors get super wet. Lots of ants.Issues with the wifi from day one, it was in and out every day. Dryer takes forever to dry, I recommend the dryer vent. You can see from outside that it is clogged.

Very Nice House, Good Owners
The house is clean, I loved the decks, and the sofa is very comfortable. A/C went out our first day there, and owners took care of it really fast (Thanks!!). Had a lot of fun in the community swimming pool, short walk from the house. One the thing to be aware of - there is NO BEACH ACCESS by foot. All the other communities in the area have everything gated off, so you will have to drive to the beach, but it's like a 1/4 mile, so it's close.

Quick getaway
Property was in a great location next to the beach. With ocean access about 4min away this is a great little location. Property was clean and fully stocked for all your needs and on site amenities were a nice little plus. Only small issue we delt with was the upstairs shower head. It definitely needs to be replaced, as it sprayed in every direction possible. Once again this was such a a small issue I was hesitant to comment about. Overall, great little place and would recommend to anyone looking for a getaway to the beach.
