Enjoyed our Stay

We really enjoyed our stay and the property was perfect for our family. There were a couple of maintenance issues and from what I understand there will be a remodel of the property soon. The location was perfect for beach access and the nice little café on the corner. The community pool was clean and always ready to have swimmers. We would stay in this property again.

The location is excellent, and the property is very clean and well-maintained. The neighborhood is nice and walkable, with easy access to many nearby spots, which we really enjoyed. The AC worked great, and the outdoor grill was a nice bonus. Linens and sheets were also very clean.The home has two full bathrooms, which worked for us, though for a family of four (two adults and two kids) getting ready at the same time, an additional half bath would make things even more convenient.The second-floor bathtub has a sliding glass door, which made getting in and out a bit tricky, especially when helping kids bathe.The street can be a little lively in the evening—around our kids’ bedtime (8:30 pm), we could still hear some neighbors outside—but it wasn’t a major issue.Overall, we had a great stay and really appreciated the location and cleanliness. Just a few small things to keep in mind for families with young kids.

Excellent location and great house!

This house was a great find! Perfect location, short walk to the beach and easy to work with owner/property manager. I loved enjoying the front porch, coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evenings! I’ve never stayed at a VRBO that didn’t have some spices or even a little olive oil or salt and pepper. I guess it’s a county ordinance law, so be sure to bring your own spices, oils, coffee filters. The house was excellent and I would definitely stay here again.

Property very clean!!! Nice neighborhood with pool. The ocean was so clear and gentle that we didn’t use the pool but maybe twice. The house was very cute; my family loved it! Host was accommodating allowing us to enter the home a little early after a very long drive. Host also added another night on because we loved the area and house so much! Hope to visit again!!!
