The home was spacious which was great. The location was perfect and had a boardwalk to the beach which was nice. The pool was a nice sitting pool, not great for swimming. The home was clean but did have dishes in the sink when we arrived and trash in the garbage. We just assumed they forgot to clean that up. It is better to call the property managers if you need something rather than text. It is easier to contact them that way for a response. Overall we had a nice stay and even stayed an extra night. ##### Katie M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha C. 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was the perfect house for our family for the week. Location was great and relaxing. ##### Samantha C. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chantal J. 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Property was very well kept and modern. Location was great. Staff was very helpful when the elevator had an issue and just had one of the inner doors not closed. Maintenance came right out for that. It could be finnicky but we got the hang of it and it was nice to have, especially when bringing stuff in and out for the stay. Views were nice, close to the beach. Pool was great as well, not deep but deep enough that you could float around in it. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Chantal J. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Felicia S. 30 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Family fun! 1.Elevator out and 37 steps to upstairs kitchen 2.Ants all in kitchen and no dish towels or rags.3. Freezer very slow to make ice and no ice trays4. No extra blankets ##### Felicia S. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025
