What an ideal location…… 5 minute walk to beach so no need to find parking. Perfect for families with teens. They have their own area on lower level…… We especially enjoyed pool, early June and warm water. Highly recommended

The third bedroom was outside under the main house. Upon arrival, that bedroom nor bathroom had been cleaned in awhile as cobwebs were everywhere. When I called, they arranged for it to be cleaned when it was convenient for us. It also smelled like a closed up house- musty. The top of the fridge had not been cleaned in awhile either.

Quiet pet friendly getaway

We were very happy with the location of the property. It was a quiet area, but close to the beach and places to eat and shop. The house was great, with the exception being the operation of the tv in the living room. There were 4 remotes and still not quite sure which one you were supposed to use.

Simple comfortable and convenient

The house is cute and bedrooms were clean. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was great. The yard was a nice feature for us, since we were traveling with dogs. Pool was nice. And the location was quiet and close to the beach. Main complaints were dirty floors, stains on the couch and poor TV reception for the direct TV. Overall a pleasant stay.
