Our extended family all met up here for a week. It was clean and well-maintained. The location right on the beach was amazing. My only complaint is the grill. We wanted to grill, but it is too gross to use. ##### Gregg Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jodee H. 3 Nov 2024 #### 2nd row Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

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: We stayed at Top Shelf the week after Easter and really enjoyed it. Close to everything, a great view, and plenty of room. It’s a spacious living/kitchen are which made it so nice. Love the lift, hot tub and outside tiki cover upstairs was the perfect spot for a coffee. Very clean and well kept. The only disappointment was the grill pic on vrbo is not there, it’s a cheap lil grill that was too small to cook burgers or steaks for 6 ppl so maybe that needs updating on the listing or replace what was pictured in ad. Overall, a great place and we’d stay there again. ##### Sherri S.
