My kids spent many hours in the pool and us adults enjoyed the privacy of the neighborhood. It's a great rental property because it's off the beaten path but a short drive to the beaches, shopping, and anything else you could want. ##### Brian D.

The house and pool were beautiful, I just wish there were some beach equipment like chairs, umbrella and cooler we could have used. We had to buy our own. If there could be some shared amenities for travelers, I think it would be very appreciated. Overall we truly enjoyed the home, beds were very comfortable for our whole family, we enjoyed our stay! Thanks again! ##### Steve S. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly S. 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication ##### Kimberly S.

Our things to fix are minor. It would be nice if they would invest in more kitchenware, silverware and dishes. There were 3 spoons, 5 forks. 4 plates of the same size, 4 bowls. We had 6 people so we were forced to buy paper plates and plastic silverware because there wasn't enough to use. 5 coffee cups, 3 of which were chipped and/or cracked. But there were 8 margarita glasses lol!! Having a kitchen table with 4 chairs and no other same size chairs to add to it was frustrating with 6 people at meal time. We used the bench as seating but it was awkward with a small table. The stove is missing most of the heat dial numbers, but we figured it out. We loved the mismatched kitschy feel. The pool was amazing, loved the outdoor bar. The laundry was great. There were lots and lots of pillows (although I would recommend leaving extra pillowcases so we could use the extra ones in the closet) The house is big and spacious. The neighborhood was quiet and perfect. We would stay there again, it just would be nice to have kitchenware and seating for 6. Thank you again for a great stay. ##### Anne Q. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yessenia C. 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home Me and my family absolutely loved our stay here.
