8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
My favorite things about the property were easy beach access and that it was dog friendly. I thought it looked nicer in the pictures than in person. In person, it looked like there were shortcuts taken with the renovations. Neither of the showers had water pressure. The faucet in the master shower spun, and it was hard to get it on just right. The spicket in the guest shower leaked, and the shower was more of a mist. By replacing doors and some flooring here and there, this place could be better. There are wasp nests above the table on the patio. Overall, we were happy with our stay. We appreciated all the beach toys, etc in the closet outside. Thank you!

Thank yall so much for the lovely handwritten note and flowers we found when we arrived. Our stay was great. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking . The guest closet with beach items was also great. While sitting outside we did have a family member sit in one of the plastic chairs and it broke.... the person is not large but the chair was very brittle. No injuries ... We enjoyed the beach daily... the surf was yellow flag most days but the weather was really good. We would definitely stay at this property again. Thanks.... also the agents that I spoke to several times were very helpful and professional. Thanks again

Location was awesome. The master shower needs fixed so there is cold water to the left and hot water to the right. It was very difficult to operate. The floors were not cleaned before we arrived. If this place states capacity is 10, there should be supplies to accommodate those ten individuals. Ten coffee cups, towels should be at a par of 20 and heavier blankets on the beds. The ceiling fan is wired in with the lights in the living room. If the lights are off then the fan is too. We loved the location and will stay again. Just a few minor areas need to be adjusted.
