"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 403 Court Way is a great location for walking to the beach and grocery shopping near by and it's close to many things. a great coffee shop Coffee Roasters is only a few blocks away and a famous ice cream shop called Marianne's is walkable from the house. It's also very quiet."
