Wonderful and very helpful host. Always very responsive on both phone calls and text. Spacious and comfortable beds. Beautiful views both during days and sunsets. Very kid friendly house and safe neighborhood. Easy access to beach. And fishing dock.
We loved our stay here. The location was perfect for accessing the beach and the guys and kids enjoyed fishing off the pier at night. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our extended family of 16. When the third floor had an AC issue Chris was prompt in getting someone out to fix it. Highly recommend.

minor details
Overall, this was a very nice house for a large family. However, the owner needs to be more active in the care and housekeeping of the property. When we arrived the floors under the beds were raising a family of dust bunnies and several of the bathroom counters tops had sand on them. We brought these issues to the owner's attention and for the most part they were resolved. Be aware that the beach is, when you get to the beach access, is still 200+yards of loose sand to get through with chairs or any other beach toys.
Chris is a great host. Very communicative and works hard to make everything work great. The house is really nice and a wonderful location. Our family had a great time. The pool is great and the beach is a short walk. Highly recommend and we would like to come again!!
The house and location were great, but I want to highlight their responsiveness. Every time I had a question, they responded quickly.
That was even more important when the first car of my group arrived. They had trouble figuring out where to enter the code to enter the door, even though the keypad was on the door.
I wasn't there so I couldn't help them find it. I sent a message to the owner asking for help, and they responded quickly. They directed me to a website with a picture of the keypad.
I sent that to my guests and they got in quickly.
Please keep in mind, the keypad is right on the door. I still find it funny they could find it.
