The hosts were amazing. They really care about your experience and are very responsive and thoughtful. The home was really nice and just as described. The fenced in yard was perfect for our pups. I’d definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully appointed home. The fenced back yard was a must because we traveled with our 2 small dogs. We found everything we needed for our stay, including the screened back porch, all the appliances and cookware for cooking meals there, and all the amenities we could have wanted. We would heartily recommend this property! Five stars!

Pros: pet friendly, close to the beach, access to tv subscriptions, bathrooms were very cleanCons: dishes weren’t very clean - moldy spatula in drawer, felt as if we needed to wash everything before using it. Used the bath tub for baby and the water had a green hue once it started filling the tub. Insulation coming out of the door frame on the inside of the front door. Poison oak/ivy in back yard. Back patio/screened in porch was pretty dirty feeling. We didn’t use it for this reason. Overall, I wouldn’t say this place was the best for small children. However, the dog friendliness was our big draw and a necessity for us. The host was very friendly and responsive when we had questions. I appreciated their communication greatly! Thanks for letting us book your home!
