Very clean and fit our needs for this trip. AC and all appliances worked well. Convenient location and even provided a couple of beach chairs for use. The large, shaded deck was very nice.A bit dated and could use some weather stripping around the front door and degreaser on the kitchen cabinets.

This is a lovely home with a beautiful, full width of the house, covered deck and 2 large patio doors that were sparkling clean upon our arrival. The neighborhood is quiet and birds serenade you. It is a 1/2 mile walk to the beach parking lot and eating establishments.

This was the perfect beach getaway. The home was clean and tidy. We appreciated the information on the fridge of the island. It helped us find a great beach spot. We brought our dogs and we were able to relax. Highly recommend this property.
