Could have been perfect…

We loved the location. There were an infestation of gnats, they were in the kitchen, in the bathrooms, in the bedrooms which was very bothersome when eating and we see gnats landing on our food. If this problem could be fixed, we would love to stay there again.

Can’t beat the view

Location, location, location! We throughly enjoyed our stay and would rebook should we be back in the area again to visit our kids. While the home could use some improvements and amenities do not hesitate to book this home if you are looking to enjoy the beach steps from the back porch. In comparison to other homes in the area this is a steal!

Nice place at the beach

This was a nice place to stay. It was nice that it was two floors instead of three, reducing the number of stairs to be climbed to the living area. Beach access was difficult because of sand up over the walkway, but we managed. Kitchen was very well appointed.

Location. Location. Location.

Incredible location. The home is older so bathrooms are small and the water heater can only handle one shower at a time. The kitchen is stocked well. The views are amazing. The house could use some TLC but it was a great vacation as we spend our days on the beach.

Would not stay again.

The place was dirty. Had problems with ants causing us to have to keep buying more food. Found a dead roach in the bathroom. There was mold all over the place on the inside of the home and in the vents. You could smell the mold when we turned the AC on downstairs because it was tray hit in the basement one day. We had problems with circut breakers tripping in the kitchen when we were trying to cook Thanksguving dinner making it late. Just overall the worst vacation experience that I have ever had and will not ever go back or recommend. We did get some money back but not what I thought was sufficient for all the issues we had and the money we spent.
