8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Perfect for families! The rain shower and pool were highlights. We were particularly impressed with the kitchen- it was like cooking at home and very easy to clean. The house had everything we needed for the beach, along with being perfectly located for grocery shopping.The host is responsive and friendly. Check in/out was seamless. Would absolutely stay again. The only downside was that we didn’t have enough time to take advantage of the fire pit.
