We cooked and ate and had a wonderful time with the beach just footsteps away. We loved it and we will definately celebrate other events here! ##### Kim T. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristine B. 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay! Quiet neighborhood close to the beach. House is decorated super cute and there was plenty of space for 6 adult people. The only downside we really could see was only having the 1 full bath upstairs to share between the 6 of us. There is a game room downstairs that has a secondary full bath in it, but to get to this you have to exit out of the house, go down the steps outside and then unlock enter it. Think of it as a Mother In Law suite without the beds. We did not utilize this space but I do know there are some arcade machines down there and would be great for kids.Warning on the mosquitos and this isn't by any way the fault of the property.. just a fact of life. The mosquitos were BAD in the evening and again in the morning. We really couldn't enjoy the firepit as we had planned but that's okay. We'd definitely stay again. ##### Kristine B.

Description photos on property website indicate washer/dryer and arcade room/area with 2 standup arcade games. NEITHER amenity present on the property. Photos also included an outdoor upper level patio cover, not present. The bed in the larger bedroom squeaks with every move.Musty overall smell in home. Food crumbs on arm of chair in living room. Guest keypad access code was provided, however, instructions did not inform that keypad had an additional pull down flap to access an actual key to open the door. View was fabulous. Neighborhood was clean and safe. ##### brenda m.

We needed space for 3 separate families for 2 nights. This was a great option and great stay. Some issues at the beginning, but all recovered from as soon as possible. Would be nice if closer to ocean in the summer. But still would be great!! ##### Mary K.
