Excellent property!

This rental had everything you could want! The location is very close to the beach as well as within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The unit is small, but perfect for 2 people, and kitchen was well equipped, bed very comfortable and quite convenient to have a washer/dryer in the kitchen. A nice feature was the carport with security gate. We couldn't have asked for anything more and recommend highly!

Very clean and private getaway

Gated property which was convenient and added to the feeling of safety while traveling. Close to beach access through the front or private access from behind the house. House was clean and we had no issues with anything when we were there and not traveling around. Would recommend and wished we could have stayed longer.

Beach adjacent for 2

The rental is a perfect retreat for a couple. It is updated , clean, and there was nothing we were missing. The screened in porch is a nice feature so you can enjoy the evenings without the bugs running you inside. It’s located almost directly on the backwater beach which is quite peaceful. We would like to stay here again.
