Great property and quiet. Loved the proximity to the ocean but wish there was a more direct and closer route to walk to the beach. I wish we would have rented a golf cart.

Beach Vacation

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect set up since one family member has a prosthetic leg and stairs are an issue so the downstairs suite made this house a great fit for us. We had everything we needed and ample amount of space. We would definitely rent again.

Great location, comfortable, no problems during our stay. Only suggestion; the lighting outside is minimal, so it would be helpful if the stairs had more lighting so no accidents would occur. And motion sensor by pool did not work. Everything else was great!

Family Vacation

We had a great time overall loved the property. The downstairs apartment had a bad smell that they tried to take care of with plug ins and scent absorbers. It made a few family members a little sick. The upstairs house was wonderful, but I would only recommend booking this if you don’t need the downstairs apartment. Communication was great and prompt with the property manager.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Communication
The house was okay-ish. It was clean and adequate seating for the upstairs portion of the house. HOWEVER, the first floor bedroom has a TERRIBLE smell. It’s mildew mixed with stale air. When we called them about it they acted like they didn’t know, but when we checked in there were air fresheners on the A/C intake and car air fresheners hanging from the cabinet hooks. If you look at the bed, you can literally see water damage stains on the box springs. It was awful!!!!! Also, every single exterior light is blue, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to see at night. The stair lights are along the railing instead of the feet, and 80% of them were out. We did contact them about the lights too, they came out second to last day and said they would order more lights…we did not get to utilize those lights because we left the next morning…. We had an elderly man with us who had a hard time taking stairs, let alone taking them on a dimly lit staircase. He almost fell twice! As far as communication goes - it takes at least 24 hours for any response from them. Definitely not a fan of that aspect of it all either…

June 2024 family vacation

The location was good, close to beach access. Plenty of room for our family to enjoy time together and parking for 4 cars. Clean and functional overall. Nice to have a small pool. Issue with air conditioning in separate unit but Management was quick to respond and took care of it same day. May not work for everyone due to all the stairs and no elevator, but great for us. Easy check in and check out. Thank you!

Comfy House in Great Location

This house was in a perfect location with easy access to the beach. Our stay was comfortable with plenty of room for all ages in our group. The pool was amazing with a number of toys and floats. The outdoor shower was an added bonus. The kitchen had most of what we needed - despite the pictured Keurig that was not present on our arrival. We also could’ve used some oven mitts. Our check-in was delayed without notification so we arrived on time only to be told a late check out prevented us from entering the property on time. They were receptive to feedback and were quick to send maintenance when we spotted a few bugs.
