Great Location
This property was great all around. The house was so clean and roomy. The location was fantastic, a short walk to the beach and close to all the stores and restaurants. I loved sitting on the deck in the morning drinking my coffee and could see the ocean, so peaceful. I’m hoping to book this property for my next trip.

Overall an excellent stay! Very clean! Beds were very comfortable! The only minor thing was maybe more than 1/4 bottle of dish soap available would have been nice. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Property was just as it’s listed! Beautiful and clean! Communication with the renter was amazing! Lost power due to entergy doing some work, and they kept us in the loop the entire time as to when it would come back on! Any question I had, was just a text away with an answer in 2 minutes! Very pleased!

Beach house review
Where do I start, the house was exactly as described. The location was perfect and not even a minute away from the beach. The home had so much space to play games and entertain all while cooking. Even though it was construction going on right next door, we didn’t let that stop us from enjoying our tradition of being together. Will definitely book again!

Nice location
The house nice but the wifi didn't work-so no TV worked throughout the house and limited communication with the host. The house had a foul odor upon arrival... we had to air it out for the entire time....Keurig cups missing- did not have any like the online listing.

We just finished a 3 night stay. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. You can tell the owners didn’t go cheap when they built the home - fixtures, appliances, furniture etc..all very nice. Highly recommend this spot.

It was good, felt a little invasive with the cameras
The house was great, location was great. In the description of this rental it does state that there were three cameras for the guests safety. I completely understand the owners want to make sure their property is secure. However, one camera was pointing at the front door and it said in the review that they were not able to see inside. But how do we know that? I kept the window blinds shut the entire time because the camera was aimed right at them. And when we ate outside (the view was amazing!) I felt like big brother was watching us. Four cameras seems a bit excessive. Maybe take the one camera down that is facing the front door?
