Family vacation
This home was perfect for our large family, everyone had a bed and was comfortable during our stay. The bathroom upstairs’ door was broken so we had to lock both bedroom doors when we used it but we had read that in the reviews before hand. Other than that it was great! Plenty of parking, very quit neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.

Multi Family Stay Before Back to School
Condo was fantastic! Very clean and well kept. Plenty of seating for our group of 12 around the bar top and dining room table. It was a great area to gather and play games of an evening. Also with so many to shower each day, we were pleased with how well stocked the bathrooms were with towels and wash cloths. Beach access was about a 5-minute walk. The pool was a big hit with the family and small kids loved the shallow entry. Pool area was clean and orderly. We had trouble locking the front door on our first evening - maintenance was prompt, friendly, and solved the issue. Great customer service! Beds were comfortable and the unit kept cool at 70 degrees when the temps were 95+ degrees each day. (A blessing!) Only small issues were the pocket door was off the track in the shared bathroom upstairs - and a grounding rod sticking out of the pea gravel downstairs which could be an safety issue (but honestly not the owners fault). Just something to be aware of. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend the unit to small groups looking for a beach getaway.

Nice house for a large group
The house is really nice overall, really liked the size of the bunk beds, much easier for two people to sleep in the same one comfortably. The bathrooms are clean and large with lots of storage. The beach access isn’t bad, little bit of a walk but not far at all. The pool was nice, shallow and good for kids. There were a few things that needed some attention that would really put this one at the top of the list of places we’ve stayed if they were fixed. There is not a grill, which I thought was odd; never rented a beach house that didn’t have one. The refrigerator in the house needs some pieces replaced, the drawers did not shut easily and a lot of the plastic shelves were cracked. The ice maker did not work, so we had to buy a lot of ice. The internet is definitely spotty. The two rooms with bunk beds are connected with a Jack and Jill bath, but neither of the pocket doors locked, you had to make sure everyone knew you were getting in the shower so they didn’t accidentally come in. The towels smelled very bad when we got there, like maybe they were put away damp and dried with a mildew smell. We had to wash them all before using them.
