    Keypad on door is challenging-the code we were given didn’t work. Reached out to housekeeper who provided us with her code to use. It worked IF you pressed the numbers firmly-but not great. Yard wasn’t mowed and made the property look bad. Some areas of flooring need attention. The day we arrived we found a LARGE dead bug(roach?) in the walk in closet of the master bedroom. Pool area was nice. There should be some additional basic supplies provided-ie, paper towels, dishwasher detergent and more shampoo/conditioner.

    The house and pool were just what we needed. The bed pillows were very firm. I need a fluffy, squishy pillow for my neck. I had a neck issue the whole time I was there. On each bed there should be two different kind of pillows. Just a suggestion. Or keep one in the closet for people like me with neck and back issues. The hangers were a nice surprise. The beach chairs and umbrellas were convenient.

    We just stayed here to celebrate our twin daughters turning 16! We also had my young niece and nephew (5 & 6). This house and pool coupled with the perfect location made it so easy to spend the day shark tooth hunting (went just stayed close to Sharkeys) and then come home to swim in the pool! Weand hang out!

    Hands down the best rental we've ever had!This home exceeded all our expectations in every way. It was incredibly well-stocked with thoughtful touches throughout—fans in every room, sound machines, high-quality kitchen items (including spices we really appreciated), matching silverware, ice trays and packs, laundry detergent (possibly left by a previous guest but still appreciated), and absolutely everything you could need for the beach. Extra beach and bath towels were plentiful, and I could go on and on with how many little extras were included.The house was spotless and clearly very well taken care of. Communication was flawless—both the booking agent and the cleaner/property manager were responsive and helpful every step of the way.We loved eating at Sharky’s and walking the pier—both were a highlight of our stay. The beach is definitely within walkable distance , but with smaller children, it was just a bit far for comfort. That said, we had a great time searching for shark teeth during the day and relaxing at the pool in the afternoons.This place is perfect for a single family, a large family, extended family, or even a group of close friends. We can’t wait to come back again!

Communication prior to arrival was excellent and we had all the information we needed to start our vacation. We had a minor issue that was promptly addressed and rectified by the property manager.Overall, we enjoyed the home. There was plenty of space for all of us and it was very clean.
