My stay
Property around the house look like low income, the inside of the house looked clean but had a foul smell to it had to buy air freshener to get rid of the smell, the grill located in the middle of the yard fixed in its location and very small no where set anything, laundry room was filthy no trash can water heater leaked and you had to go outside down the steps to use!!!

Just what we needed...
About as close to perfect as a beach rental could be. Great room layout with 3 corner bedrooms and a central entertainment/family room with adjacent kitchen. It's just a very short walk from the beach, too. We had a great time. Thank you.

Very nice place to stay
Nice house close to water. It was very clean, and had a convenient kitchen for breakfast every morning. TV’s in every room with Netflix, Disney +, etc. for everyone to enjoy. Really good pizza place just up the road within walking distance.
The only downside to our trip was the ceilings on the bottom floor are apparently very thin, and there was a family with two toddlers and two dogs above us that apparently never really slept. With that being said, I would still absolutely stay again.
