If you’re looking for a wonderful place that is pet friendly and has a privacy fence for the fur babies, this is the place! More than I expected, exceptionally clean and stocked. Atlantic Beach is 5-10 minutes away. Wonderful parking with bathrooms on site. The Captain’s Table restaurant is amazing! Best shrimp and grits! I could live here. The host has beautiful fur babies and has made my trip, by far the best that I have experienced.

This place was perfect. We brought our daughter's dog and it was wonderful to be able to let her out and down the steps to the safe, fenced area. We walked to the grocery store which was really convenient. The location was close to restaurants and the beach. Check-in was easy and great communication with the host. Perfect space for 3 adults and our dog.

Excellent location!!! Close to everything you need. Bed was comfortable. It was exactly what we needed for a quick trip. However, there was an ant and mosquito infestation that needs to be treated.

Thank you for your feedback. After two weeks of heavy rain the ants are on the move. The issue has been easily resolved. Mosquitoes are resolved by keeping the door closed.

Beachy!

We had a very pleasant stay! With the feel of a home away from home, the easily accessible beach, Aquarium and every needs that can be met just within reach, we never felt out of place but rather in tune! A couple nights stay will make this trip seem to go on forever and this is exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Randy for a wonderful experience (and the peaches)!

We are sorry for your experience. The mattress is new, furniture is highly rated, and the apt is nearly all five stars at all levels. We hope you can find future accommodations that meet your approval. We also suggest responding to multiple requests for communication from hosts. Safe travels

Overall opinion

Other than the musty smell and the bathroom needing a little updating the unit met our needs. The landscaping needs some attention. The motion light kept coming on which was shining directly in the bedroom window.? I’m not sure what time it came on, but it woke me up about 5:00 am.

Randy was the greatest host

A perfect little spot to be home base while going to the area. Randy was very communicative and made us feel very welcome. It was clean and accommodating. The ONLY complaint was how creaky the beds were. They were very comfortable but creaked loudly every time we moved. Maybe we are too fat. Lol
