Summary of reviewsBeautiful property with charm, fantastic location close to the beach, and great amenities like a lovely pool and backyard for relaxing. Would definitely stay again!
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The property is pet friendly and the outdoor space was the attraction with the screened-in porch, heated pool and firepit . The indoor areas are a bit worn..but it served our needs just fine. We had a super relaxing vacation and our English bulldog ,T-Bone, had a blast as well. Thank you for a nice vacation spot..I will keep it on my list for future visits.

6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
This property has been beautifully decorated but it hasn’t been cleaned well or maintained well for a very long time. We had plenty or room and the neighborhood/location is great. The ice maker does not work. The skillet in the drawer still had food in it. The master bedspread was filthy. The pool water was green and cloudy and had to be cleaned and treated before we could let our grandchildren swim. We bought a broom and soft scrub to clean the porch and had to fix the vacuum prior to vacuuming as well. The management company did get the pool service company out on a Sunday and they offered to send out someone to clean which we did turn down. We left the property much cleaner than when we arrived!
