    Host was fabulous. Great amenity package on arrival with a sweet note. Bedding and beds were so comfortable and towels were of generous size. Great location on the beach.

    Very nice home. There were a few minor discrepancies which were addressed the day after I reported to the manager. The 4th bedroom which is upstairs has 2 full size trundle beds. Each bed slept one adult, not 2, comfortably.This property has a sandy path to the beach. The property to the left does not. The tenants staying there freely used the same path. The provided BBQ pit is small. Reminded us of one we had when we were first starting off our married life in an apartment.

    Very nice! Impressive with how kitchen was so well stocked and the welcome basket very nice. Chairs on deck could use a little attention and one night when it rained we had signification rain come in over front door through the molding. Overall it was great location, amazing beach access and a very lovely home. Would definitely come back

    This was our first Family Vacation with all of our grown daughters and their husbands/boyfriends and our granddaughter. There were nine of us and the place had plenty of space for us all. We loved being right on the beach, literally footsteps to the ocean. The house is beautiful and modern with coastal decor. The beds were all very comfortable, with very nice bedding. The kitchen is equipped with any of the small appliances you would need, nice pots & pans, dishes and serve ware. There are incredible ocean views, sunsets and sunrises! The bar has been set high for our future beach vacations! I highly recommend this property!

    Came from Denver to the beach to get some warm weather for spring break . The house was very nice , but would make a few suggestions. 1. Need shades on primary bdr windows. Extremely bright early in the morning. 2. Not enough towels. 1 towel per person for a week is not enough3 would have appreciated a few beach chairs. Flying from Denver you do not have these items

    We come out each year for over a decade, but this has been the best property we’ve had the fortune of staying at. The location, beach access, and ease of access is all great, but the house itself is what sets it apart. By far the most up to date home when thoughtful touches I’ve seen in the area.

    We were very very disappointed that we could not use the community pool. Mgmt was sketchy about giving us access and finally said the homeowner had HOA issues and we could not use it. One reason why we booked this place since we had little kids and wanted to have another option for swimming. Also, we experienced heavy rain and the entire underneath/ground floor flooded and our cars had to be pulled out by AAA! It’s probably still flooded…Made it very hard to walk out to beach in the flood waters. It was nasty…also, there was leaking around the doors during heavy rains. Seems like flashing is missing. The master bedroom is beautiful, but there are no window treatments and it got so so bright on a sunny morning and hot too. Like at 6:30am! Yes, the ceiling fan is very pretty and big but it is WORTHLESS Does not turn much. House felt updated. The bedding was great…the place was well equipped and clean. Internet good…TV good. We rented a golf cart from Rick’s to use to take stuff to the beach and to the convenience store and hopefully the pool. They were great! We left a crockpot and 2 beach chairs for future renters.. (They had 4 beach chairs for us to use and an umbrella; I think)
