Was accommodating to our requests and was very quick to reply to our few messages. Clothes dryer is very small. Short walk to a great park and beach. ##### Kelly K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas P. 30 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good place, great location and property manager The carrage house is in the back of the lot behind the main house. Parking isn't ideal, but you're well off the road. Kitchen isn't great if you want to cook a fair amount but sufficent for breakfast/snacks. Furinture is what youd expect at a beachhouse, decent but cozy and nothing youd be concerned about ruining. The overall space is very nice and would retun. ##### Thomas P.
