The house is recently updated with all the amenities and a block from the beach. Really nice backyard pool with gas grill and plenty of lounge chairs. Also convenient parking for our four cars. Two of the bedrooms are connected with a single entrance and separated from each other with a barn door so that could be inconvenient for some but worked out fine for our two single adult sons to use. Would definitely come again! ##### Scott F.

The kitchen is well equipped and the backyard is lovely with the heated pool. The location is very convenient as its a short walk to the beach on the seawall, local attractions ,dining and shops.

Communication was good when we got here but at first it start off rocky. The house a nice house great neighborhood had everything there although we had to buy stuff for our stay. The access to get in the house was good. Water meter was off but soon as i texted her she told me where to look to turn it on. The house is down from various place that we went. Everything about the stay was legit. I will say the house had an odor when we first came in so i dont know if it was because of the oldness or from being in a flood at one time. My family had a good time , i had a good time and i would definitely do this again, and would recommend to anybody ##### Regina R.

There were a total of 7 adults and each group had their own private area and bathroom. The kitchen was spacious with a nice island for seating. The dinner table had enough room for our group. And such a nice outdoor area in the back including the pool. There was a fire pit and also multiple loungers and chairs. We wanted for nothing! The owner responded quickly when we had a question. It was located two blocks from the beach! So close and easy to get to for viewing the morning sunrise. It was a wonderful, memorable vacation with the added charm of the beautifully renovated beach home. We hope to stay at this location again!! ##### Cassandra H.
