With just a two minute walk to the beach, we were able to easily get back and forth to the house. The place was well air-conditioned, clean, and had everything our family of five needed for a three day stay over Memorial Weekend. The beach was so quiet, too. There were mostly just families and couples spending a relaxing time near the water. Perfect family vacation! We will be repeat customers, for certain! ##### Andrea S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pohai M. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Overall great stsy Close to the water with private path, quiet neighborhood.

This property is literally right on the beach. Its a 2 minute walk to the water. You can see beautiful sunsets from the porch. The house has everything we needed. We had one little hiccup with the dishwasher but the property manager sent someone out literally in minutes and solved the issue. Communication was excellent. Overall a great place to stay! ##### Matt M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Don D. 30 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dodging Hurricane Helene The house was clean and mostly renovated. The new deck is very nice. The accommodations were average, with lighting and places to store clothes for a week stay sparse. The dryer did not work, although the owner refunded us $100 for the trouble. Several of the ducts had mold around them due to water dripping and soaking the sheet rock; humidity is always a problem near water, but it was due to the type of duct work, which needs to be replaced. The house was not as close to the beach as we wanted it, and the kitchen was not as equipped as we would have liked it, with odds-and-ends available for cooking, as well as things like more than two coffee mugs. As everyone has said, be sure to take extra paper towels, detergents, etc., as you will only get starter amounts for a day or so. It's a quiet area during late September, as we expected. I would recommend this place if you're looking for some quiet time and don't plan to eat out or shop much at all, plus you don't mind a good 10 minute walk to the beach. ##### Don D.
