Great time and location!

This house had plenty of room for our group of 10. It was easy to get to and the beach-front location was perfect! The beach in front of the property was clean, only a few steps from the house and was not crowded for a peak season visit. The pool was clean and the neighbors we shared it with were very accomodating.

We had a wonderful time! We had two families plus friends and it was the perfect spot. We could walk to Waves, which is a convenient store. There is also a walkable restaurant or pick up seafood to go. The pool is a good size and walk to the beach. Highly recommend! Would return again!

Perfect on Beach

It’s perfect on the beach location with private pool. Clean place. Only suggestion is at least provide a couple small beach chairs and umbrella as the property doesn’t provide anything but the very basics. It states in the description but properly should reconsider since it’s literally on the beach.

Family vacation

Our family had a wonderful time. Location was great. The house itself was clean on the inside, but the outside was a little rundown. There was a spindle missing at the top of the outdoor stairs. We had to put something in front of it for safety purposes, since we had small children with us. Beautiful view, and we saw dolphins almost every morning.
