We had such a great vacation! We loved every minute of our stay at this beautiful home. Perfect location so close to the beach. The house was spotless and spacious and had everything that was needed to make us feel comfortable. The pool and backyard were wonderful. We definitely recommend this home! ##### Ana A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah S. 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very relaxing! We were rained out from the beach for most of our short stay but still had a blast just relaxing and jumping in the pool in between storm showers. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after we got back from the beach. Love the screened in back porch-great for board games and relaxing. Host includes so many little things that aren’t included in the listing that it made it all the better. Will definitely be back. ##### Sarah S.

We were somewhat confused as to the bathrooms - we had requested 3 bedrooms with baths attached but we worked with it. The house has a very nice back porch and pool - we enjoyed that quite a bit as the weather did not cooperate for our stay. I also appreciate that you allow pets and that the back yard is fenced! My little one enjoyed the stay also! One thing - one of the sinks in the master bath did not have hot water. Thank you for sharing your home! ##### Angela P.

Our vacation was amazing and beyond perfect! While there were double red flag warnings for the ocean, it had no affect on our week. Our home away from home for the week was absolutely wonderful! The home is decorated so cute with all types of extras...from dish detergent, laundry detergent, extra towels, extra beach towels bikes, and the golf cart...to mention a few. And, the pool and yard was AMAZING!! We had our daughter's dog and two babies with us so the fenced in back yard along with the pool being easily accessible from the house made things so much nicer! And, the screened in porch was wonderful too! We were still able to enjoy the short walk or bike ride to the beach in the evenings which was wonderful too! Just perfect for our family! We are so thankful we found this place! ##### KENNY AND SALLY H.

Absolutely as described, especially the kitchen-we cook a lot and it really did have everything we needed and that hardly ever happens. Fenced back yard with a pool, I’m already planning our next visit. ##### Laura D.
