Excellent stay with no complaints. Room was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Nice amenities. Perfect for frequent beach access; you just open the door. It is rather small, but fine for a couple on a getaway. I would not recommend it for a family, or more than two people. Communication with the host was very easy, and she was very kind. I agree with a previous reviewer that the hedge outside the porch could be lowered to allow a better beach view, but that's a small consideration. Overall, my wife and I give this location full marks. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

2 travelers - no kids - no pets - easy & casual. We were able to check in when we arrived & the host as well as office team were wonderful. The beach was nearly to ourselves & everyone was friendly and welcoming. The room was ideal for our needs, stayed comfortable & well appointed.We would have preferred a warning prior to our wake up Tuesday being a gas powered hedge trimmer right outside our back door - it woke up both of us with a headache & set off a rough last full day on longboat. Not sure who could have warned us- not holding it against the property. Amazing stay - Walked to Ana's, Guppy's, Harry's & Lazy Lobster which was our walking limit.

I loved being right on the beach. A couple suggestions, but not deal breakers: a tall bar table and stools on patio so you can see the ocean over the shrubs. Also need better quality frying pans and knives. I would definitely stay in this unit again.
