Great location especially if you have small kids. Away from the busy street and walking distance to the beach. Very clean and a quiet area. All was missing was a bbq grill. Enjoyed my stay and will return again

Cute home with a quick walk to the beach! Within walking distance to many restaurants and shops nearby. Lance was kind and easy to get ahold of- he had quick responses and was helpful. This was the perfect spot and we’d definitely book again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The beach house was very clean and cozy. It had everything we needed and the host was quick to respond to our questions prior to arrival. We did not need to reach the host after our arrival since everything we needed was easily accessible. The Gulf was visible from the patio and it was walking distance to many restaurants. We would highly recommend this beach house.

Awesome place! Quiet, but location was close to everything in town. The porches were a great asset cause it is cozy. But, really a perfect size. Could use a little better lighting inside the kitchen(under cabinet lighting!) But, very clean, and very headache free. Just a delightful place! If you want a place to completely chill out, this is your place.

What a perfect property from start to finish! We were in town for a volleyball tournament, so having a place that’s walkable to the beach was paramount. This home is nestled on a quiet, safe street a few blocks back from the main road. The home itself has everything you need- a kitchen and items for cooking, a small living space, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, and several porches to relax on. It was clean and very cozy, especially during some strong thunderstorms we had while in town! We had no problems at all with anything with the property, though I did have a few questions for the host, and those were all answered immediately. We would most definitely enjoy staying here again!
