8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Very cute cozy clean home, great location, close to both ocean and bay. Kitchen and bath were adequate and well-stocked. Only drawback was that it's an upper unit, with 12 very steep steps to get in and out, which somehow I missed when booking. Otherwise a charming place and very good rental company to communicate with!

Perfect location for a beach get-away. Kids love sleeping in the loft.

Great location for a quick stay. The balcony was a great place to have coffee and play some cards. There is no air conditioning, but the fans were more than enough to keep it comfortable!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
I really enjoyed the location of the property it’s a block away from the beach and the host was quick to answer questions. My biggest complaint is it was not well stocked. There is 0 seasonings or any extras in the kitchen at all just some dishes and toaster, no extra towels, a kuerig but no coffee. It’s nice to stay in a VRBO because it’s convenient to have things a hotel doesn’t have. It is also tough to have a 3pm check in and 10am check out time.
