Great location. Easy to get to. Fit our overnight stay very well. Might want to focus on some details like our bathroom sink was very loose and towel rack too. If you provide a Keurig coffee pot might eant to include a few pods. Overall it was good.

The House was clean and comfortable for our small group. It's located on across from a stretch of beach that was just improved with new sand and the beach was great. The appliances at the house could be upgraded as we had issues with the washing machine - discovered you can only wash 2 towels at a time and the fridge would not keep cool. We notified management and they should be replacing / fixing but we had to buy ice and keep our food in a cooler during our stay which was a bit of a pain.

Nice place for a short stay on the beach

Location was great and easy to find. We could see the water/beach while in the front room. Enjoyed the table that could fit my family for meals. The kitchen was great to cook in and I enjoyed the open concept so everyone felt like they were apart of what was going on while in the house. Some minimal cosmetic updates needed but nothing that negatively impacted our stay. We would stay again!
