Great place for us and our pups! beautiful pool and hot tub and lovely lounge furniture on the decks. Kitchen was well stocked for our foodie adventures. Would definitely stay again!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2021
House was overall good. Close walking distance to the beach. Pool and hot tub were very nice. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue, house was ready at 130 to check-in but house still needed good cleaning. Its easy to clean the areas that are in good eye view but it badly needed to be checked thoroughly(closets, windows, extc…) grill was unusuably when i went to use it about 3 days in, but was completely replaced the next day. A chair and swing were broken just laying in the deck. Overal was a good house and good stay. Wish there was more to do in the area.
