All rooms were very clean and supplied with all our needs. The weather was fantastic. Quiet neighborhood. Police patrol made us feel safe as well. We accomplished exactly what we wanted to do. Rest, relax, go fishing, bbq’d, took walks with our pets, rode around site seeing and ended our evenings sitting out on the balcony enjoying the breeze and the view. I will definitely rent this awesome place from Robert again! :-)

Birthday weekend

The property was great. Bigger than what I expected, clean, plenty of room and the location is fantastic. You can drive 2 minutes to the jetty, unpack and hang out at the beach, drive to several small convenience stores and several restaurants within a 15 minute drive. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the property is the mosquitoes that swarmed me after a quick 10 minute rain. Other than that, I have no complaints. :)We brought a cot for my teenage son and my 10 year old for perfectly on the pull out couch. Would definitely stay again!!!!

Cute House

First time staying and the inside of the house was beautiful and clean. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us. The shower was absolutely awesome and the beach was an only a few blocks away. My only improvement feedback would be the rotten Insulation hanging from the ceiling underneath the house. It was pretty unsightly, so I did not use the underside of the house but the patio was great! I am sure repairs are already in the works. Thank you for a great stay!

Great Rental

I would give this rental 5 stars across the board if not for the misleading listing regarding the beds. The bed in the bedroom is a full size bed not a queen. This would have been a dealbreaker when booking as I am 6’3” and my legs hang off the end of a full size bed.The listing claims the couch is a queen but it is not. A pull out couch is not a queen bed, especially this style where it simply pulls up another row of couch cushions. Great for snuggling and watching a movie. And we would never book a rental with the intent of sleeping on the couch. Photos and labeling of rooms and beds on the listing was misleading at best. Hopefully that gets fixed. I’m am including a screen shot of the listing showing the room labeling discrepancy. Couches were also different from photo. **EVERYTHING ELSE WAS PERFECT!** Very Clean, and all the amenities one could ask for in a vacation rental. We even appreciated the little things that we don’t normally get with rentals (like condiments, cooking oil, good toilet paper, travel toiletries, laundry soap, beach chairs, etc). Perfect size rental for 2-3 people and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. Communication with the host was great and for what it is worth they did apologize for the bed situation and tried to make it up to us (which I do appreciate).Don’t hesitate to book this place if you can deal with the full size bed (which did have a very comfy mattress).

A Perfect Fit

My stay was EXCELLENT! This gem has everything I could possibly ask for. They thought of everything. The bed and pillows were very comfortable which is so important to me. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with good knives! I simply loved my stay and look forward to staying again. I was impressed by the sweet gesture like a spare toothbrush or deodorant if you have forgotten.yours. Samll things that add up to a GREAT HOST!!!to me.

Great Little Getaway

I really enjoyed our stay at this house! It was just me and my partner and it was the perfect size for us! The house smelled great, and it had everything we needed. The house itself is a little older, but it added to the charming quality of the overall appeal to the place. A plus was the bathroom was updated and had a vanity mirror and a nice large, updated shower which was perfect after spending all day at the beach! Definitely a quick 3 min walk to the beach by the jetty, which was nice for morning walks. Be prepared to drive further down the beach for a good beach day; however you could get away doing a beach day at the beach by the house. It was quiet at night and also pretty quiet during the day, so it was peaceful being there. The steps to the house aren’t too high, so it’s easy to get your things up and down from the house. Overall recommend this house for a good quick getaway to the beach! Will be back!

Weekend getaway

Communication with the host was 5 stars within minutes of booking. Even when I made a mistake in booking, he was quick to offer a solution to make our weekend plans seamless and enjoyable. The arrival directions were spot on and easy to follow. The house is perfectly located- you get a peek at the ocean, but are just far enough away to enjoy the quiet neighborhood. Stores and restaurants are walking distance. The house was meticulously cleaned and had every kitchen and bathroom item we needed. They even had beach towels and chairs for our use. The bed was super comfortable. All the comforts of home made this rental a great spot for the weekend. We will definitely return!
