The property was great! Had everything we needed on site, was clean, and the beach was right out the back door as described with great views. Within minutes of everything we wanted to do. Had 3 young kids with me who all loved it! No issues with communication. Would absolutely stay here again.

Sue is an incredible with her communications and easy to get in touch with! This was our second time staying and we love having direct access to the beach, a washer and dryer, and close proximity to groceries and ice cream! The house did have some cleaning issues ie mold in the vents, had to wash some sheets because they were really sandy upon arrival, had to clean the kitchen sink and faucet due to black dirt build up. Despite the cleaning stuff we had to do overall we had an amazing time! Grateful for this space and hope to come back again!

We had a wonderful stay here with our family. The house was beautiful, the views were amazing, and everything was very clean - and my wife and I are definitely pretty OCD about cleanliness. There was a small hiccup when we first arrived, but Sue was extremely attentive and got everything taken care of quickly, which we really appreciated.The neighbors were also incredibly friendly and gave us great recommendations for things to do with our kids around the area. Our entire family loved this trip, and we would absolutely stay here again.
