They provided some nice little extras at check in, along with some things at the house that we could take to the beach. Everything was exactly as we’d hoped and we had a great time. If you have a long drive keep in mind you can only get the key from their office during business hours, which hasn’t been the norm for my other Vrbo rentals. Although minor, I could have done without the rude looks from both of the girls at check in since they assumed I was underage to rent the property. They changed their tune and were very polite after telling me they’d need to see my ID and afterwards commented that I look very young for my age. Again, it’s really not a big deal but these properties aren’t cheap so I felt it was not the best way to be greeted. ##### Hailey W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy C. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house House was very nice and had everything needed and great location. Beds were very comfortable with great amenities. The only problem we had was the master shower did not have a shower knob to turn water on/off and were unable to use. This was a little inconvenient as we all had to use the same shower. Overall We would definitely stay here again! ##### Amy C.
