Overall fantastic stay!
Fantastic location and cute decor, perfect for a girls trip. Only downside was no communal bathroom upstairs so the one room without a bathroom had to go into someone else’s room to use the bathroom. Overall definitely recommend.

Great location!
The property was great as it was on the beach. There were a few things like adequate items in the kitchen - there were 2 wine glasses in the entire rental, so we purchased some more.

Great location beautiful view
Great property with beautiful views just steps to the beach and close to food and shopping. Plenty of room for a large family and dining area can seat 10 with 4 additional seats at the bar. Beds are comfortable with extra pillows and blankets if needed. There is no vacuum cleaner, which is a necessity when you’re on the beach. There is mold and mildew in closets and around most air vents, which is concerning. Tiles in shower and bath have been painted over, and almost all are peeling. BBQ grill is completely rusted out, so we were not able to use. Deck railing on main level is in serious need of repair. Every TV has multiple remotes, all with different connections, but no instructions. Also, thermostats are complicated and no instructions on how to use. Finally identified the type of thermostat online and were able to resolve.

Great house and location
Able to accommodate many with the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen appliances and dinnerware could have been a bit cleaner and although there was much seating in the living area, some could have been more comfortable. Overall a great property and would definitely recommend to others.
