The home was fantastic for our family trip that included three generations of love and memories. The location was perfectly across from the beach and Access point to cross to the beach. The house was clean and tidy, equipped with all the necessities that you would want in a rental property. We loved the outdoor seating with a partial beach view and breeze. The owners and property managers were truly considerate, very generous, and always available with all needs. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend this property in the quiet but not far from places to go and things to do! There was something for everyone from my 8 year old daughter, to teens, and my elderly parents.

Beautiful home
The house was beautiful, location was amazing but a few things the cleaning staff missed such as blood stain on the fold out couch, a pair of flip flops left under the dresser a broken picture frame in the drawer, alarm went off and the maintenance man checked batteries but didn’t change them and they went off a second day repeatedly! He was extremely polite but Smelled of BO so bad we had to spray air freshener! All in all out stay was great with a few minor incidents! Nothing that ruined our vacation! Host where helpful in solving all issues

Loved the house, the view was good. Easy access to the beach. There were a few issues: the first day we had to call about a stopped up toilet. The outlets in all upstairs bathrooms did not work. Nothing triggered in fuse box either. Had to ask for light bulbs because a couple of lamps didn’t have any and a bulb was blown in one of the bathrooms. And even though we didn’t mention it to the agents, the house was not fully cleaned. It was probably 90% clean.
