We loved that access to the beach was so close and the view from the house was beautiful. There are so many good restaurants very close by. The house was very clean, cozy and there was plenty of sleeping options for everyone. The area is beautiful and peaceful. ##### Aubrey B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Molly B. 26 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, needs updated. Overall we found this property to be in a great location with functional spaces. It served its purpose but was generally underwhelming. It appeared superficially clean, but desperately needs a deep clean and updating. Property manager responded promptly when there was an issue with the smoke detector. ##### Molly B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Donna P. 29 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Home Has Potential This home has potential, great location, however needs a major overhaul on inside. Nice floor plan, however, house is older and it shows. Stained carpet needs replacing, screens on porch torn and ripped, one of the shades on porch had fallen down. Walls scuffed and in need of painting. Kitchen pans old and dirty. Furniture is old and appears 2nd hand. Open area under house strewn with debris. Exterior nice with wrap around deck. ##### Donna P.
