    Nice place to stay for a quick getaway near the beach. TV is a little challenging as we couldn’t get major networks so we couldnt watch college football on ABC. Unit faces mostly west so if you are there in June- September the ac will probably not keep up especially in the upstairs bedroom.

    House was functional and worked for a short stay. The beds were comfy and clean. A lot of homes seem to be older in the area and this one obviously had a fair amount of wear and tear. The house had a lot of “stuff” in it and felt cluttered to us but that is how some people like it. It was clean as long as you didn’t look too close under cabinets and such. The floor was clean. There were not very many towels/washcloths for the number of beds - especially considering the main activity is the beach (lots of showers ). To be fair , the owner did say they would provide more if needed when I asked about it. If your looking for a pristine Vrbo , this may not be it but if your just trying to find a place to stay this is adequate .

    Inside of condo good, parking 1 inch of water always and walkway underwater (3 inches) (womens shoes). Mosquitoes horrible due to the water in the yard. Pool was nice w/o mosquitoes. Compensation for shoes would be nice!

    Short access to the beach. The front door has lots of bird’s poo. Facilities is lowly maintained. Air conditioning could not cool down the upper floor of unit during summer.
