Clean, comfortable, and great location

This was a wonderful, quiet place to stay. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, plenty of space (we had three toddlers and 4 adults and it was very comfortable for a weekend.) The amenities and furnishings were wonderful- they had everything you might need! 10/10 recommend

Our vacation

House was beautiful, clean,and well supplied. We loved that it was a bit away from the beach and the crowds. The beds were comfortable. I would stay there again. Only thing I seen that could help was the yard wasn't mowed. But all in all,a great stay.

Could've been a 5 star but....

Upon arrival to the home, I drove by it once before realizing that the "jungle" yard was the residence I rented. In other words, if we were judging the house based off curb appeal, it failed. The grass was overgrown, see photos. I don't think it had seen a weed eater or lawnmower in weeks. We had two children with us who love outdoor time but there's no way in that high of grass. Unfortunately, the back yard presented the same. As we entered the house, I was very happy to see that the interior upkeep and cleanliness was top notch. The home is beautiful and very roomy on the inside. My newfound happiness turned to irritation minutes later when we attempted to turn on the TV and connect to Wifi. I put in a message around 6pm Fri evening that neither would work. The problem didn't get resolved until 11am the next day. Granted it was simply a tripped breaker, but for the money I paid to rent it, those things should've been in working order. Two toddlers and two young adults were not happy being without the TV. Overall the location felt safe and it wasn't too far away from most everything one could need. The beds were very comfortable. Check in & out was easy.
