Awesome house and proximity to the beach! We loved how close we were to the beach, plus the views and sunsets were stunning!! The house was fully stocked and very clean. The downstairs shower was wonderful, but we were unable to use it due to the mosquitoes. They were horrible, so bring spray. The beach was cleaned every morning and uncrowded. It was a wonderful place to stay and we will book again.

We loved the location of this house! We had a ton of kids in the group so beach set up and pick up was much easier with the house extremely close to the beach. The only thing we didn’t realize was that the bottom 2 rooms of the house aren’t connected to the top 3 rooms so you have to walk outside up the stairs to access the main house. This wasn’t a big deal for our group but to know is always ideal. We would recommend!

This one is hard to review. The location is epic. The floors felts like it was a beach itself. We adjusted by putting on shoes. The showers were wet with hot water. We cooked well. The kitchen was well equipped - the best equipped I’ve ever seen at a STR. The cleaning crew needs to slow down and do a deep dive clean. If you don’t believe me, look behind the master bed or the TV in the den. The moisture will always be tough as it is as close to the beach as possible. Great location. House need a terrific de-humidifier. I would go back and I would know what I’m getting. I would take a floor cleaner to get it right when we got there.

Location couldn't be better for a quiet stay away from the congestion. Small grocery/convenience store less than 1/2mi that has most items if you forget something. Community pool not a far drive. Had every intention of going, but we just stayed at the beach! Being THAT close was so nice with small kids. There is no wagon like I read somewhere in the listing, but with everyone carrying something, it wasn't bad. Could've made two trips if we needed. A canopy would be nice to have there, but we brought one. One of the best stocked kitchens I've stayed in! A/C worked great, but it was only in the 80s. Beds were good, but always a personal preference. Plenty of pillows and blankets. Could the house use a honey do list? Sure. But, nothing that affected the great time we had, and most things to be expected being that to the beach. We brought one item to their attention the evening we arrived; someone was out the next morning to fix it, and double checked other areas while there. Hosts were great with communication and very friendly. Would definitely stay again!!

The property was very clean and there was room enough for our whole family. The hosts thought of everything from sand toys for the kids to use at the beach to beach towels. We would highly recommend staying here.
