We had a great stay at this home with a group of 8 adults. The home is beautiful and there is so much space. We liked that each couple had their own room with a king sized bed and bathroom. The beach was a quick walk across the street and the neighborhood is so safe and well maintained. I had read prior reviews that the home is a little dated - it was. But that’s ok! I would rather stay in a comfortable home that’s a little dated than worry about ruining a perfectly put together home. On the downside the floors were a little dirty. That did not take away from our enjoyment!

This place was absolutely perfect for our family! The layout was great with all of the different bedrooms! We loved the icemaker/wine fridge/wet bar area. It was also great to have a mini fridge on the third floor! The elevator made unloading and reloading all of our luggage a breeze. This house has the best view of all of the houses that we have stayed in in this neighborhood. Beach access was close and so was pool access!. We would love to stay here again! Communication with the property manager was easy and we received lots of messages and updates to keep us informed of check-in and check out procedures.Thank you for providing a wonderful place to stay for our favorite week of the year!

Katrina M.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
We enjoyed our stay overall. One of the main reasons we chose this home was the elevator, as our grandfather is in his 80s and unable to climb stairs. Unfortunately, it was not working on the day we arrived. While the property manager checked on it while we were out at dinner and let us know it was fixed, it stopped working again on the third day. This created a significant inconvenience, especially since several members of our group have knee and leg issues.Had we known there were ongoing problems with the elevator, we would have chosen a different place to stay. When an elevator is a key feature particularly for older guests it’s a major concern if it isn’t functioning.

Had a Great Time

This is the second time we've stayed at this property. Nice change was a new main refrigerator. There were a couple of bathroom sinks that never drained properly and some of the furniture could use an update, but we had a great time at the house and of course the amazing view and close access directly to the beach.

Incredible location

The beach access and set up was great! The house was nice and had plenty of room for the three families who vacationed with us. The only issues were with the ice maker in the kitchen fridge and the oven. Neither were working when we got there and we had to adapt our meal plans. Overall, the house was great and the property managers were very responsive.
