Perfeft location

This home was a perfect location to the beach, 3 minutes from the big store, and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. The house had the perfect amenities needed for a family to stay with children and our puppy. They even have a dog wash station in the outdoor shower! I would stay here again.

Peaceful and pet friendly

The property was well maintained and stocked with dishes and kitchenware to make cooking for the family easy. The house was well insulated so when some vacationers got rowdy nearby it was quiet in the house. I enjoyed sitting on the porch with my dog in the mornings drinking my coffee and watching the waves. Shower and pet washing table made it easy to get us all clean of sand before going inside. Great place!

Short Family Getaway

Beautiful home with a huge Beachy vibe. We came unprepared and should have brought towels and wash cloths as there was not enough for our group but luckily there was a Dollar Store right down the road. They had so many other things for our group such as Corn hole boards and plenty of outdoor seating. We brought our little Morky Spaniel and she had her own fenced in area and shower! Very family and pet friendly home.

Beautiful beach house with almost anything you can think of needing on vacation. There was a power outage one night and host came to check, ended up putting us up in hotel that night and meter was fixed next day. I loved having a washer & dryer. For future guests it might be nice to clarify there’s a golf cart or not, it was out of service and we were unable to rent. Also, listing mentions pool but there’s not one but we enjoyed the jacuzzi. Thank you for the stay, my family of 4 had a great time.

Owner is spying on you

There are cameras on this property. After discovering the cameras due to a situation where the owner showed up to check out something because they had seen us on camera cleaning their hot tub I reported the issue to VRBO. Will the host told VRBO that the cameras are inactive so VRBO decided not to do anything about it. If you don't mind your family being spied on while you're on vacation recorded are goodness who knows what else go ahead and stay here. I've been staying at places for 20 years and this is the first time I had a breach of privacy and it was a very humiliating terrible experience.
