Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
Didn’t give 5 out of 5 stars because we were missing linens and towels, check-in instructions gave the door code but was missing the unit #. The company was responsive and helpful but didn’t have everything provided initially upfront. The house is close by the beach and restaurants which was nice. If you’re coming from out of town bring all shower items as there isn't any provided and extra towels. They give you one towel per guest and one packet to do one load of laundry. Not ideal for a family/group staying multiple days. There is a two car garage that was nice to have. Just know the entry way to access the garage is tight and narrow.
