This VRBO is centrally located to Bridge Street, restaurants, bars, and shopping. It's along the trolley line so you can literally go wherever you want on the island (until 10 pm). Out the back door the beautiful white sand beach is steps away. The home is actually a double wide just to be clear, but it does have pretty much everything you need. It is cozy, and we knew from previous reviews, that the double bunk bed room was connected to one of the bedrooms. If you are a party of six or more, I would definitely not book this spot if you are thinking you will "make it work." We didn't spend a whole lot of time inside given what was surrounding the property.
The only negative thing I could say is that the bathroom situation was a little rough. I think I saw that in one of the reviews as well. The master shower worked great, but the toilet handle is on its last leg...easy fix. The second bathroom shower handle was super stiff, and most everyone gave up trying to find a nice shower temp. It was either hell water hot or cold. Most everyone bathed in the master shower. It was family trip, so not a huge crisis.
This was a last minute trip so I felt pretty lucky we got what we did.

I could not speak more highly of any property I have ever stayed! Property management was great communicating easy check in and out, the house was so clean. Had extra beach towels and toys outside. Will be staying again!

The location was perfect!!! Being right on the beach was the best part!! Beautiful sunsets and nice paddle boards available. The house is a little dated but being beachfront is worth it!!!! Kitchen has all you need and the beds are very comfortable.

Great location. Right on the beach. Easy walk to many restaurants — down the beach and on street. Loved the porch for shade most of day. Perfect for sunset viewing. Beds were comfortable and towels luxurious and plentiful.
For the price, the rest was just ok. Small. Not luxury. Neighbors light streamed into our bedroom, broken recliner, ice maker didn’t work, lounge chair broken. Small 2nd shower. Wobbly furniture. Dated interior.
As long as you temper your expectations, it was a fine place to relax for 10 days.
