House was clean & very well-maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes & cooking utensils. We had 1 issue w/ the front door early. Kathy had already given me her cell & was very quick to respond w/ instructions. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing!
We got there and were allowed to check in early! Kathy was very responsive even checked on us during the small storm! The house was absolutely amazing! The beds were super comfortable and the view was amazing! This is going to be a regular house that we get when we come down if it’s available! Definitely need to stay here well worth it!

Great Beach House!
This house was perfect for our vacation. Just steps to the sand and wonderful views! We loved having the hot tub on the 2nd floor deck and the cargo lift is such a nice amenity. No hauling suitcases and groceries up the stairs! This home is stocked with absolutely everything and Kathy was so helpful and responsive to our needs!
