Our stay was nothin short of amazing! The house was perfect! Simple yet had EVERYTHING you would need even down to the little things! The house felt like home away from home! The beds were VERY comfortable! The couch comfy and cozy and perfect to lounge and cuddle on after a long day on beach. The location was ideal! Close to all of our favorite beaches and shamrock park was awesome to go for a walk, run, visit the park and play some tennis with the kids.

We had a lovely stay at this clean, comfortable, well-decorated house, which is situated in a quiet neighborhood. The well-equipped kitchen had everything needed to prepare full meals, and the host was generous with supplies for kitchen, laundry, bath, and fun, including beach chairs, pool floaties, and even shark teeth sifters. The home is within walking distance of Shamrock Nature Center, a great place for walking. The host was very responsive to questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay! They were very accommodating. House was very clean. The towels all seemed new. Great amenities. Only drawback was the pool is only heated in winter months. We stayed in October, so the kids didn’t hesitate to get in pool, but it would have been nice to take the edge of with the help of the heater. To be fair, we didn’t ask to turn the heater on because it seemed clear that the heater was only for winter months.
