Great proximity to the beach. Nice and quiet neighborhood. I would recommend that the house have blinds and curtains placed in the living room/dining room area to help keep the house cooler and to help with the bright sunlight. I would also recommend having some hooks/clothesline available to provide a place to hang towels and swim suits. ##### Kevin M.

Owner was responsive. The home was clean. It is in the back of the neighborhood which we knew upon booking. The fridge didn’t cool very well and dryer took several cycles to dry small loads. Otherwise all was well. Thank you! ##### Stephanie M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J B. 14 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing house and location The pictures of this very clean house don’t do it justice. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were plenty of towels. Quiet neighborhood and a very quick golf cart ride to the beach. We loved riding around in the rented golf cart to the neighborhood store and to enjoy the evenings. You can walk to the beach if you want. Beach was never crowded. Host was quick to answer any questions. We will definitely be back. I would not hesitate to rent this house. ##### J B.

Other than that another great stay. ##### Makarim A. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah L., Sugar land 23 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy retreat Had a wonderful stay with our family here. The pictures don’t do the place justice. It is very cozy and clean and had everything you need! We flew in from Denver and didn’t have to buy and extra supplies for the home from toiletries, cooking supplies or extra towels. The walk to the beach may be a little long for younger kids but was fine for my 10 yr-16yr olds. Location was super close to great convenience store (that had many grocery/food items) and beer/liquor, as well as a fresh seafood market and pizzeria next door. You don’t have to travel into town often if you don’t want to! The owner was great with communication and helpful with any questions we had. The neighbors were also very kind and friendly as well. Overall, a great experience and the place was super roomy and beds were very comfortable! ##### Sarah L.

The owners are great to work with. We definitely needed the cart we rented to go to the beach. With the kids and “stuff” we took, the cart was needed for our group. ##### Kathy G.
