This property was just okay. The best thing about it was the location/proximity and ease of getting to the beach. The lowest you can turn AC is 72, so it was hot for sleeping as well as during day when we were inside. One shower was almost unusable due to low pressure. Twin beds were very uncomfortable. Couch is the only sitting area in living room and it is very uncomfortable as well. Laundry accommodations were in first floor storage area- which is shared and I don’t feel this is communicated well in the description. We had Unit B and your deck area is facing another house and “alley” walking area. The picture of deck in gallery is Unit A.My biggest concern was employees (I assume) from rental management came in with out any notice to us from the company. One lady came in without even knocking. With teenage girls with us, this was scary to them. I also messaged for more towels and they were never delivered to us.So overall just ok, we enjoyed the island, but we will not rent this again.

Overall, this property was adequate. Great location, but the rental “facilities” were not great. Specifically, there was a lack of seating (sofa was small), the support frame for one of the twin beds in one room was broken/did not provide needed support, the beach equipment was in poor shape (umbrella unusable, one beach chair broken), and there was not much of a patio to sit outside on.

Not misleading by being honest about listing. Listed as a beach home, & its a condo with 2 units. Listed making people believe you are able to enjoy the deck in the picture facing the beach, when instead, you are facing contractors busy drilling & pounding on a new condo. Not able to enjoy sitting on the deck at all, much less while looking at the ocean/beach. The place was clean, & was up about 20 steps to get in, which was not the biggest problem. The contractors also teased my dog, & caused her to bark more just coming out to go anywhere or go try to enjoy the beach, which was difficult. I feel like it was a grab to finish getting funds for my visit to fill the calendar, not my interest as a consumer. I wanted to just relax, sit on the deck, drink coffee, & look at the ocean, but that didn't happen. Not too impressed with no clear transparency regarding the condo, which is called a home on the listing. Nobody wants to come to the beach to listen to contractors drill, much less be looking directly at them if you go out to try to enjoy the deck on the rental.

Very clean and great location. Cons.. couch was unusable because it was so worn down. I’m not a heavy person but had to use bed pillows on the couch just to sit. The ceiling fan was almost un-usable. Severely off balance and had a loud tick that we had to turn it off or on low. Dishwasher did not clean. We had to get soap to hand wash only. Yes we did pre-rinse before using it. Honestly not a big deal for us as we had 4 adults to wash dishes :) The bottom shelf on the fridge was broken on one side and there were 2 door shelves that were missing. We had to use the master shower only because the spare shower was broken - only a dribble came out. Watch out for the light hanging in the corner.. really looks like it would fall out at any time. The upside it was a great location, very clean and the kitchen was beyond well stocked with everything you’d need to cook..

Perfect beach getaway

This beach house was everything we hoped for and more! The space was clean and felt like a true home away from home. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms are spacious. The location couldn’t have been better—a very short walk to the beach. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making the entire stay seamless from start to finish. We made so many great memories here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Great Location

The house was so close to the beach and had all the beach ammenaties for us to use! The decore inside was a bit dated and dark. The beds were comfy. The downside was we were surrounded by early morning construction in rebuilding houses (I understand completely it has to get done, just a bummer to wake up to loud noises everyday). Also, the house directly behind us that the deck overlooks has a swimming pool that is being built but looks like a swamp and has lots of mosquitos so sitting on the deck wasnt an option.
