This is a practical, not bougie place located two blocks from beach and a short walk to restaurants, stores, and shops. It has the barest of essentials. You may consider bringing extra bath and kitchen towels. They do not provide beach chairs or beach supplies. You should also bring extra trash bags, oven mitts, scissors, tape, handsoap, shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper, baggies etc. The information book was found in the hard to reach cabinet above the fridge. This is a duplex so you will have direct neighbors which is slightly awkward. Overall, the place was clean and was in a great location. We would stay again.

We rented both units. Both were a little aged, but clean. We stayed in unit B and the girls stayed in unit A. We rented both units so we could bring our pups. Originally we had 5 small pups and 6 of us. One of the pups had to get put down before our visit and my mother in law had to go back to Mexico for a medical visit so we were one less pup and one less person for the trip. The location was extremely convenient. We walked most of the time. The pups did not like the sandspurs, but across the street was a sandspur free area to walk them and easily able to clean up after them. No complaints and we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend. My wife plans on texting the owner some suggestions, but really no complaints and would definitely return.

Two Blocks from the Beach

If you're going to the beach, this is the perfect place. Spacious deck and pet friendly. My only issues were the ants in the kitchen and inconsistent wifi.

Nice spot for a walk to the beach!

We loved being at this rental! It was close enough to walk to the beach or any of the shops and local restaurants. It was very clean when we got there and comfortable to stay in. It is a duplex, so we had neighbors while we were there but we couldn’t hear them really. Overall we would stay again!

It was ok

Pros: This proper was close and convenient to a lot of places. It’s only about 2 blocks from the beach. Walking distance to Sunliner Diner which has great breakfasts, as well as other restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet that a Vrbo offers. Cons: the living room furniture was worn out - especially the chairs. There’s little to no cushion left in the seat cushions. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. It was so soft, that our back, hips and arms hurt at night and all day. We probably wouldn’t stay there again for these reasons. I never had any idea about all the extra charges till we went to book the property so it was far more expensive than we expected. But nonetheless, we did book it.
