Ladies Weekend
Just a few things that need to be addressed. The beds are horrible, hard as a board made for terrible nights. The hot tub jets were not in working order as well had no privacy as the curtains did not zip. Zippers broken. Had to supply our own toilet paper which you would think would be included in the price. Now the games room in the basement was beautiful!

A great spot to spend time together
We rented for two nights to have a quick beach weekend with the family before we say goodbye to the summer. The place was great, lots of room for everyone to have their own space, but also lots of common space to bring everyone together. Less than 10 minutes from the main beach and all of the amenities you will need. Also quite close to the Pinery for a quieter beach day that costs less than 3 hours of parking by the strip. Many thanks to our hosts!

A Little Slice of Heaven ✨️
Title: A Fantastic Stay with an Exceptional Host!
I rently had the pleasure of staying at a vacation rental booked through VRBO, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, our host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable.
I would just like to say congratulations on the new member of there family .....
Yes thats right, the communications with our host was seamless even during the bith of there child. With quick response to our inquiries and provided detailed information about the property. Their warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease.
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the immaculate condition of the property. It was clear that our host took great pride in maintaining a clean and well-appointed space. The accommodations were exactly as described in the listing, if not better. Every room was tastefully decorated, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. From the cozy living area to the fully equipped kitchen, we felt right at home from the moment we stepped through the door.
What truly set our experience apart, however, was the exceptional hospitality provided by our host. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Whether it was a bunch of flyers sugesting local restaurants,and tips about nearby attractions, their thoughtfulness and attentiveness were truly amazing.
