Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you loved the home and got to take advantage of the private beach, along with everything within walking distance. "Not long enough" is the best kind of feedback we could hope for! We'd love to welcome you back for a longer stay anytime.
The views were stunning, and having such easy, direct access to the beach was fantastic. Communication with the host was exceptional from start to finish. We gave cleanliness a 4 star based on the kitchen could use a little TLC, and the showers could use some additional attention to detail. Otherwise, we loved the house, the beautiful views, easy access straight to the beach, and exceptional communication with the host.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We're so glad the views and direct beach access made the stay special, and that communication was helpful from start to finish. We've passed your notes about the kitchen and showers along to our housekeeping team so we can sharpen up those details. We appreciate you taking the time to share this and would love to welcome you back.
We had plenty of room for everyone and the whole family had a great time! Steps to the beach, food and coffee! The house was clean.

Thank you, Brian! We're glad your family had a great time and that the space worked well for everyone. Being so close to the beach, food, and coffee is a plus! We'd love to host you again.
This was one of the best rentals we’ve experienced in this area. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. The location was excellent and centrally located. The pictures were accurate. We were grateful the beds were all comfortable; this isn’t always the case with rentals. The dining room and the living room were all large enough to accommodate all guests. We would stay in this home again without hesitation.

Thank you so much for the wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear this was one of your best rental experiences in the area—that truly means a lot.
It’s great to know the home’s comfort, layout, and well-equipped kitchen all contributed to your stay, and that everything met your expectations from the listing. We’re especially glad the space worked well for your group to gather and enjoy time together.
We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to host you again anytime!
Hi Miguel, thank you for your feedback! We're glad you found the place nice and comfortable. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to host you again in the future!
We loved this house! There were 13 of us for a bachelorette party the and house was perfect! Being right on the water was unbeatable. House was clean, had everything you would need for the beach and to cook, and there is a coffee shop right across the street! Would recommend to anyone!

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our property! You and your group were such a pleasure to host, and we’re so thrilled you felt at home. Please come back anytime, Tea!
Awesome location, right on the beach. Walking distance to many amenities. The only issue encountered is there were two microwaves in the kitchen but neither worked. There was a working microwave downstairs.

Thank you for your feedback, Rick! We're glad you enjoyed the location and the proximity to amenities. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the microwaves in the kitchen, but we're glad the one downstairs worked for you. We'll have that looked into to ensure everything is functioning properly for future guests. We hope to host you again soon!
