Nice Getaway
Very nice, spacious house. There was plenty of room for my family of 8. Loved the private pier. The sunset from the balcony was AMAZING!!! Neighborhood was friendly. We were able to go to a few garage sales. Wish my littles were able to use the pool but it was way too cold being in the shade and the hot tub was not working. But, the giant master bathtub saved the day. I would definitely recommend this home as well as book again in the summer to be able to enjoy the pool.

Nice home
Had a nice time with family. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t ideal. We went to the beach one day and bowling the next. A bit disappointed that the hot tub doesn’t get heated. One of the reasons for booking this place. The home had minimal amenities, ( no extra towels). The floors were quite dirty, our socks were black and filthy. There were stains on the comforters. Overall we made the most of things, We enjoyed our stay. Thanks
