The house and location are great and was perfect for our family! Only negative is the proximity to several larger beach houses that housed a bunch of college students for spring break which created an atmosphere that was not conducive to relaxing on the beach.

The house was just as it was advertised. It had a beautiful view of the ocean, a workable elevator, nice big dining table, clean and easy to sweep tile flooring, spacious bedrooms, comfy beds, updated appliances. The only complaint is, both of our ice machines quit working while we were there!!

Location was excellent!Loved looking out at the water & beach. Nice big beach.House was very clean & had all the amenities.Does need to have furniture updated & better pillows on all beds. Unfortunately the house next door had a pool with over a dozen kids yelling & playing while the 7 moms all sat on the beach. It started at 7am til 7pm.

This house was amazing!! It had everything you could need, great space, it was clean, and there were great spaces to sit outside. It was right on the beach, super easy to get down to each day. This house is a treasure, we will be booking it again! The owners were wonderful and so was the property manager. Great experience booking this house!
