Beach get away

Wonderful location. Very cute house decorated beautifully. A/C was very cold which we all loved. Lots of space so we never felt crowded. Just a short walk to the beach. We even rented 2 golf carts and cruised the beach strip. Really enjoyed the house and location. Cant wait to rent it again

There was plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well as Pleasure Pier. The host was very accommodating, and communicating.

Was overpriced on this app, on booking. com would have paid the same price I paid for 3 days, for 4 days. Place is nice and homey though. But you can get way more space elsewhere for the same price.
