Property was exactly as described. Plenty of room for our family. House was very clean. The beach was within walking distance. Grandchildren had a great time in the pool.
We checked in on 7/26/25. The house stated that it slept 8 people. It failed to mention that the couch bed was in fact not a couch bed, but a pull out sofa (not the same). I called several days before the trip and asked about linens for the couch bed and was told they were in a closet. There were no linens for that bed. The house was a cute house and kept up really well. However I would not recommend staying in the house if you want to be comfortable. The house is very small!! The ladder going up to the loft was kind of sketchy. The washer/dryer combo in the house is terrible. Dont plan on washing any clothes or towels. They only provided 6 bath towels for a house that sleeps 8.For the price of the house it was nice. I will not book this home again. I would say 4, maybe 5 people would be ok in the house. I will say the AC worked great! They have no water hose outside to spray anything off. Bring bath towels and linens. The kitchen was pretty stocked.
