What a wonderful stay! Perfect location. I chose this home due to reviews about location and being able to accommodate a large group and I can say I was not disappointed! Now the driveway to garage is extremely steep, but parking was no problem. Plenty of lots and or public parking. Everything was wonderful and will choose to stay again!

My daughters had a 3 day weekend so we planned some beach time. It was important for us to be right on the sand, and that we were! It was easy to bounce between the house, sand, water, firepits, and volleyball courts throughout the day. Parking on site was too tight for my Tesla to fit but there was ample street parking available during the off season and the parking lot is just a few steps away for convenience. We walked to the fun zone and to dinner each night so didn't cook at all but enjoyed spending some quality time together. The place is very large with plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable and the place was clean. It would have been nice to have beach gear, coolers, or bikes provided so I didn't have to lug so much stuff to the house and back for just a long weekend but we made it work!

It was great
6 / 10Average·Aug 2020
The property was very nice. Unfortunately there were some areas that need attention: 1)Carpet is extremely dirty 2) window sills and frames and screens very dirty 3) broken screens 4) They say it's for 13, however not enough plates or silverware for 13. 5) Only a broom to clean, and no mop. The vacuum did not work. 6) The sheets were very thin and cheap. 7) we were there for a whole week and no cleaning products provided, only dishwashing and dishwasher detergent. No toilet scrub brush even. Thank you.
