Home was clean and well equipped! You can’t see the ocean from the phone because of the sand dunes but once you get to the beach it’s a great view. Could still hear the ocean from the home which was great. Property manager was responsive and helpful.

The property itself is clean, the check in was easy, and they very detailed instructions on check out, which was very nice. However the issue we had with the property is that there was hidden fee, and we were charged 100 more for having 8 guests, which we were not notified of until they pulled the money from my bank. We were told after that any guests over 7 (the property only stated it could hold so many guests, not that there were extra charges) is 100 more. And they would not make it right. The only issue we have with the property itself is that the “private walkout” doesn’t go all the way to the beach, it stops at a huge sand dune that even blocks the view of the beach. Which is disappointing because the private walkout out was the only reason we booked the place.

It’s a perfect location to downtown and there was a dollar general and Winn Dixie close by! Marty’s house was so clean and very home feeling! We will definitely be staying again with him! The sunsets and sunrises from this house were breathtaking!

Lovely

Nice and relaxing. I like staying on the beach. This had a private walk way and a benches where you can sit and enjoy watching the waves! Nice grassy area in back yard for 2 small pup's to walk and do their business as well,on a leash. Dunes are behind so didnt want them running in there lol. Store is down the street so that was a perk . Short drive to town as well. Very well stocked (dishes, pots pans). Would recommend. Oh! Love the screened in porch!! It is the length of the house!
