Everything about our experience was amazing! Check in was smooth, the house was very clean, with everything we needed for our stay. It was the perfect location and size for our family of 5, plenty of beds and space and just a short walk to the beach. The backyard area and the pool are a lot larger than I expected, perfect for hanging out with the family! I also loved all the security features, keypads on both doors, window sensors, and ring doorbell, it made us feel very safe. HIGHLY recommend! ##### Jessica G. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer V. 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy It is a beautiful house, all except that the door handle was too easy for my dog to push down on it and get out looking for me when we were out. We were so lucky that a neighbor saw her and corralled her back inside. She could have been killed on Thomas Drive. Maybe paint "no diving" on the side of the pool and put a tarp up to provide some shade; so hot. We fixed the hose nozzle. We had a very nice stay, but had to keep the front door blocked with a high stool, so she would not escape again, and had to leave the back door unlocked to get in.. LOVE the Ms. Pac Man machine that happens to have all those other games. You should really highlight that. ##### Jennifer V. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa D. 29 May 2024 #### EXCELLANT Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is PERFECT!!!! Very clean. Anything you need is there. Just a quick walk around the corner to the beach. Will stay there again for sure. ##### Melissa D.
