Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The day after we checked in, they surprised us with homemade cinnamon rolls, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch that really made the stay special.The home had everything we could possibly need. It was fully stocked with all the amenities, so we never found ourselves missing anything during our stay. The host had even provided beach chairs and an umbrella, which made our beach days so much easier and more enjoyable.One of the things we really appreciated was having the pool available for the days we wanted to relax but didn’t feel like getting sandy at the beach. It was the perfect option to still enjoy the sunshine.

The host was very welcoming, beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear and everything else all provided. The only reason I give 3 stars is we don't believe they (meaning all these types of units) make it clear you are staying in their home. You are renting a space or wing in their occupied home. We have fallen into this before, it appears as a condo or single family unit when in fact you are a guest in someone's house.

Nice stay close to beach

Nice little place, you basically get a small apartment all to yourself. The cooking area has the basics if you want to cook at home. A lot of great beach gear was provided which was super nice. A small beach 10 min walk from the house was great.

Two night stay for a wedding

I was extremely happy with the property not only because it was close to the event I was attending, they also have all the little amenities you might need. I needed an iron and board for my shirt and pants and they had it which made it great. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to experience the tennis court or pool because of how short my trip was, but everything was amazing during my stay. Although the location does not have a/c, it was not needed because the weather was great and during the night it gets very windy.
