The location was ideal! Beach access was soooo close! Gas station half a block away. Two restaurants a block away. It was perfect! Even on a rainy evening the cover porch was great to rock awhile and wait for the storm to pass. The table inside was the best for playing games! We cannot wait to book again! ##### Sarah R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joseph P. 12 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Poor Management We didn't check in until 9PM! They said their cleaner hasn't come yet. We tried to get a different place to stay, but an hour and half on the phone didn't help. We love the area, but long story short book a different place. I do not like VRBO either. ##### Joseph P.

Ocean view from front bedroom upstairs. 2 minute walk to the ocean. Upstairs shower and parking is tight, but most beach houses are. Great spot for a family getaway. ##### Andrew S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Aaron F. 5 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Historic 1925 Home The rooms are much nicer in person than in the photographs online. The beach is steps away and so are the lake, several gas stations, and restaurants. The owner was friendly and made sure everything was ready for our stay. Being Fourth of July week, the road in front of the home was busy. Overall, we had a great time. ##### Aaron F.
