The fantastic Stump Pass is 3 miles south of the property. Here you can fish, hike the nature trails, launch a boat or kayak or just relax on the secluded beach. Stump Pass is an excellent location for finding shark teeth. Parking is only $3 per day.

Everything was great! The condo was clean and comfortable. Our host, Paula was very pleasant and a great resource of information. My only concern was that a few of the throw rugs didn’t lye flat and could have be a trip hazard if you’re not paying attention. Would definitely stay at any of their properties again.

Ants in bathroom (coming in from whole in the bathtub grout). Paint was chipping off throughout the apartment. Big stains on the couch cushions. Missing baseboard in living room. Many dirty dishes in the cupboards. Need new heat shields on outdoor girl. Private beach area was small, so we used public beaches near by.

Every detail has been taken care off. A few minutes walk from the beach, very quiet place. I did not have to contact the host, everything was perfect.

Property is well appointed and in great location. Love the simple check in/out. Very easy. Twin beds are a bit uncomfortable. Other than that great!

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the property manager Stephanie. She was extremely helpful and immediately made us feel at home. Our unit 2A was very clean with updated renovations. The area is very quiet and the private beach is a short walk across the street. We found numerous seas shells and pretty much had the beach to ourselves. The hosts Scott and Paula were very helpful during our stay and easily assisted us with extending our stay by one day. The site has two gas bbq grills and two sets of corn hole games available. The rental also supplies numerous beach chairs, boogie boards and other beach essentials for our use. The two outdoor showers were also a great addition to get the sand and salt water off before returning to our unit. We will definitely be returning to this dog friendly home in the near future.
