The house was very cute and was a nice setup for our family...we enjoyed the week very much. There were a few things that do need to be addressed: The bottom rack of dishwasher was broken. No lamps in living area so hard to read etc. House needs a deep clean and upon arrival the inside steps and porch were covered in sand Pics showed full size coffee maker but there was a 5 cup so not great for 4 coffee drinkers. No towel hook in 1/2 bath.. broken BBQ grill was filthy and did not use. These are the issues that keep it from a 5 star rating but still enjoyed our stay

Beautiful place and fully stocked!

This is such a GREAT beach house! We were able to find everything we needed (or forgot from home) - including a food thermometer! Of all the houses we've rented over the years, this house was by far the best stocked and did not feel stingy at all. They provided plenty of soap, trash bags, toilet paper, towels/washcloths, etc. They also provided chairs and some toys for the beach which made things easier. We also really loved the aesthetic of the house and the proximity to the beach! We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was extremely clean and well taken care of, and the views were absolutely beautiful. The management company was great to work with and made everything very easy from check-in to check-out.One thing we really appreciated was all the extras that were provided — beach chairs, bikes, and a very well-stocked kitchen that had everything we needed. It really made the stay comfortable and convenient.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to relax and enjoy the area.
