Communication was excellent- the front desk was helpful and informative. We arrived 20 minutes early and called to let the owner know- she was prompt and immediately opened the door so we could enter. The private beach access was so nice and easy to get to. 10/10 recommend. ##### Kortney Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The "Big House" with..
