    Just got back from trip. Property was as described, clean when we checked in, process was easy. Could be listed as beachfront (almost), you can sit on the front porch and look through the two beachfront houses and see the ocean. Easy to walk (maybe 75 yards or so?) to the beachfront. Quiet neighborhood. Also, this was my first rental that I did NOT have to purchase a barbecue grill (place had a decent sized one in good condition). Only cons were issues with cable / internet throughout the entire stay (until one day before we left); made it difficult/impossible for work meetings and movie viewing at night. (hopefully the 2 visits completely solved the issues for the owners and next guests).Property management was prompt in responding when we called/messaged and the person they sent was nice and was able to fix issues (door sticking and a window that wouldn't close after a storm) quickly and efficiently. If you want a laid back, chill on the beach vacation, this area is great.

    Great space and good location. Kitchen wasn’t very well stocked for being a 3 bedroom house, but enough for us to make do.

    Nice house at a great location. Steps away from the beach and steps away from Sassy Bass restaurant and market.

    The house was located perfectly right across the street from the beach. It had a unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. It was fun that the Sassy Bass was within walking distance and you didn’t have to get on major road to go to the market. The house was clean and set up nicely. The house has a great layout.

    Pros: Excellent location. Not technically right on the beach, but practically right on the beach. The house was clean, so that’s a major plus. Kitchen was well stocked (minus any kind of spices). Cons: There were some things that needed to be repaired. Guest bath nozzle and wash rag rack kept falling off. Kitchen cabinet handles were dirty/gunked up. Hand towel holder in master bath kept falling apart. Harrison vacations rentals is stingy with all the basic necessities. For example, we got one tiny bar of soap in the guest bathroom. There are two showers and three sinks in the house, so I’m not sure why that’s all we got. There’s also no dish soap. So just be prepared to bring all your essentials. The front steps felt rickety and needed lots of boards replaced. The back steps were slightly better. Overall I would recommend this property. We had a great stay and loved being so close to the beach with an unobstructed view out front.
