Perfect Location
We were away from condos and had a nice private beach with other home stayers near by. Literally 3 min or less walk to beach.

The house was not clean. The was still someone else soap on bathroom counter, mattress cover did not fit the bed and the bed rattles bad. The downstairs 1/2 bath kept stopping up but it was fine because we were only in the house when we slept

Second row beach house, good location. Near beach access. Clean but needs deep cleaning living room chairs; upholstery very soiled. Well stocked kitchen dishes and pans. But no pot holders or salt and pepper. Only two trash bags for 5 days, 7 people. Beds were ok but not great. WIFiI but none of us could get internet which was disappointing. You could get it in the street as you left the house. Bummer!

Great Beach Vacation
We really enjoyed our time at the property. It’s just a short stroll to the private beach access. The pool was a really nice bonus to have, we really enjoyed it. The home also provided a washer and dryer. The kitchen was set with utensils, pans, and items needed to prepare meals. We met the owner Jim during our stay and really enjoyed our time visiting with and getting to know him. We will definitely be booking this lovely beach home again. Added notes for future guests convenience: You’ll need to pack and bring a hair dryer, there isn’t one in the rental. You will need to to bring your kuerig if that’s what you’re used to using, but there are two standard coffee pots available for use. There is enough toiletries to get you started but you will need to pack or buy extras when you arrive as this is standard with most all VRBO rentals.
