This house is amazing. Very close to the beach. Lots of patio space and super cute hammocks. The house was clean and well stocked with basic essentials. If not everything is close by restaurants, stores, and Busta Limes (I highly recommend). We plan to come again soon. It rained first half of our trip so we couldn’t enjoy the fenced yard but it is so cute especially if you have a pet. I highly recommend this property.

Charming Castaways

This getaway is clean and very up to date and stylish. We enjoyed a very relaxing stay here with our pups. The fenced in yard is a bonus. The beach is visible from the decks and a short stroll away. The breeze on the upper decks as you relax in the hammocks was wonderful!

Husband’s birthday getaway

This really is the perfect size beach house and perfect for a quick getaway. We absolutely loved the lounge deck level with the hammocks, it provided a peaceful break from the sun. The fully fenced in yard and deck is an awesome plus. The only thing it lacked was counter/table top space near grill but juggling food trays and plates really isn’t a big deal. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay

Fun and colorful getaway

Loved everything about the stay!!! Only recommendation would be for bigger pots and pans. I purchased a pasta strainer and left it there for future guests. Overall fun was had by all and would most definitely return.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2026
We strongly disagree with this review, as it does not reflect the reality of this stay. The guest violated house rules by hosting an unauthorized party, which resulted in significant damage and an excessive mess left behind. All charges applied were in line with our clearly stated policies ( WHICH THEY DID NOT PAY) and were necessary to cover the condition in which the property was left. Throughout the process, communication was consistent and documented. We take great pride in maintaining our property and being transparent with guests, and we stand by the actions taken in this case. Future guests can feel confident that our policies are applied fairly and consistently.

Cute Home!

The place was perfect. We had trouble booking the home originally with VRBO but it worked out. It was nice to have the little fenced in yard for dogs. Nice floor plan and proximity to the beach...I loved the levels and the extra deck with the swings and hammock. We had a quick stay and didn't stay in the home much but it was all functional. We appreciate the extra waters, candy and koozies too!!

My husband and I took a quick trip to the beach and this was a wonderful place to stay. The house could sleep 8 people even though it was just the two of us. I loved the colors of the property and the paint. It was very cute. There is a little hammock area in the middle that was breezy and a nice little hang out area. The fenced in backyard was perfect for my dog. The only issue we had were the 4 small dogs in the neighbors yard across the street, that barked constantly. That is not the fault of the owners of this home, but it was just annoying. Overall, it was a great home and we would definitely stay again.
