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 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Eveything was perfect and it was a great location! ##### Tim Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We had an amazing experience.
