The house was super comfortable, well stocked, and clean. Great location and everything in the house was very nice. Definitely going to book again. ##### Cameron M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tichelle H. 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home in convenient location House was exactly as advertised. Open concept, comfortable bed (didn’t use the bunks but they looked to have thicker than standard upgraded mattresses), spacious, easy walk to downtown and/or the beach (20 ish minutes), quiet neighborhood, big backyard, streaming apps on the tv with guest access, and everything you’d need in a kitchen. No complaints! ##### Tichelle H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori R. 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Clean with Well-Equipped Kitchen This property was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen, great appliances, close enough to walk to downtown area. I would recommend letting people know ahead of time about there only being room for 2 vehicles. We had 2 big trucks, a boat, and a car. Thankfully, the property next door wasn't being used while we were there, so we used some of the space in front of that house to park. ##### Lori R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025
