DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE REEL BEACH THERAPY:
We are a 1,250sq. ft 1-story beach cottage with lots of charm, which I am sure from time-to-time will have some minor imperfections. We are not a luxury stay nor do we intend to be, our goal is to be a comfortable, simple and cozy so you have a fun and relaxing vacation!
Our cleaner does an awesome job of cleaning but given we are dog friendly as our property is, and the fact that we are humans there is a possibility of a human error, if there is an issue during your stay let us know and they will come back to address it!
We do not have any control over things that happen outside our property lines or the weather.
The host will be available through phone, text and email. In case of an emergency a local team member can assist in person.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Wonderful!
Located on a quiet street with friendly neighbors, this was a ideal location. Near the action and beach yet very peaceful. The house was very clean and Jolene has thought of everything right down to the nightlights. Enjoy the screened in porch in the back and the rocking chair porch in the front. I can’t say enough good things about this house.

July 4th beach trip
The home was in a quiet neighborhood, and easy to find. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes, and etc. There were clean sheets and towels as well as beach towels. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond with any issue. We could tell she really wanted us to enjoy our time.
