Beautiful home with responsive host

The house was beautiful with plenty of room. The master shower was to die for! Location was great on a quiet culdesac and we were able to bike to many locations. The host was very responsive and quick to answer. Overall, great stay!

This house sleeps 6 and we had 6 in our party. We found the house very clean and conveniently located to the great experiences we shared on SSI. As very seasoned VRBO users we did note a few areas we found lacking. We could not find a “Welcome Packet/info’ which we found frustrating as we were specifically looking for instructions on using the tv. Never figured it out! Got checkout info the night before leaving in the form of an email. Since the house is set up for 6, there is not seating for 6 in the living room, nor outside on the porch. Some more comfy seating inside?? The upstairs bathrooms only had bath towels and 1 facecloth. These bathrooms should also have 2 facecloths and 2 hand towels. All the bedrooms were a good size but maybe a chair in each room? Just a bed and dresser (rarely used I’d assume) and 1 bedside table? Also how about mirrors in the upstairs bedrooms. Only mirrors in house in the bathrooms. Hopefully the owner will consider our assessments to improve this very nice house. Thank you.

In town for a wedding, had a blast!

We stayed at this property for 3 days for a big wedding. It was an amazing time. Very close to the beach, very close to downtown area. Also close to a nice park with pickleball and tennis.

Cutest beach getaway

This house is even better in person. Huge rooms with individual bathrooms. It house was more than enough room for me and my friends and the booking process and checkin/out was a breeze. Beautiful and safe location and a very clean and aesthetic home. The host is very professional and communicates well. Would recommend this house to anyone looking to rent. Very responsibly priced for the quality of the home.
