Amazing location, loved the yard and fire pit. Plenty of beds and rooms. Only issue was the upstairs shower which didn’t drain, so you had to stand in standing water. But overall it was great and would stay again and recommend!

Wonderful stay
The house was perfect for our 3 families. They had a nice large outside grill and mutiple tables and eating areas. It was so hot we did freeze up the ac but the host was very responsive and even brought over a portable ac unit. Location was amazing! We walked to the beach and downtown every day with fussy toddlers.

Extended Family Vacation
The home met our needs for gathering with and staying with our extended family, it was well supplied and comfortable. The proximity to the beach and the south pier is so easy, and it’s close enough to walk to downtown. Communication with the management company was easy and we were well informed to make the most of our stay!
