Enjoyable

Our two-week stay was so enjoyable. Our mornings and nights were beautiful as we either sat on the deck or in the hammocks as we listened to the sound of the waves. The house was very comfortable, and we did not feel crowded with ten people. The kitchen was almost stocked with everything you need. We did have to purchase a can opener (which we left at the house), and a broom would have been nice. We grilled most of our meals, and the kids enjoyed making smores. The beach was a short walk. Our favorite memories are grabbing flashlights, walking down to the beach, and catching/releasing crabs in the evenings.

Our stay was excellent very close to the beach in the house had everything you needed

Our stay was superb very close to the beach and the house had everything you needed. We checked in on Friday evening and it was pretty simplistic to get the key from the key box the house was cold when we got there it was very accessible to the beach, walked on the beach that evening. Next day woke up Saturday morning they had enough pans and pots for us to make eggs bacon pancakes everything we needed even salt and pepper the refrigerator fridge raider side-by-side was a little small but we made it work, we went to the beach came back the kids love the games and upstairs was enough room for the four teenagers girls. we had the showers that were really big we washed clothes Sunday we woke up not far from the city we went to church Sacred Heart came back enjoyed the beach again we like that we could rinse our feet downstairs before we came up and there was an outside shower we went back into town that evening to ride bicycles those six Sitters along the seawall was nice the house was close enough into the city from 61st St. to get to let the kids do some things and then we went to the spot to eat. The kids loved the chair swings hammocks downstairs. we checked out Monday morning the only thing that I had an issue was was the key box I couldn’t close it but I called the management property and they fix it right away I also left a hat and I called them after 10 and I was allowed to go back and get it real fast that’s a very big plus because that hat was a very special hat overall excellent stay I would stay there again.

Great experience

We had a great time at Key to Happiness. Short walk to the beach (definitely worth the savings compared to beachfront prices we looked at in the same area), good deck furniture, and nice touches inside. Beds were comfy, and the kitchen & dining were clean and came with all the dishes, pans, etc. we needed. Perfect for our mix of family meals and round-the-clock grazing that always happens on beach trips! Communication with the property manager was easy & timely. Nice to know the office was right around the corner if anything went wrong. We hope to be back soon!
