We had a great time! They were very accommodating to our schedule and answered questions quickly. It’s a great location & quick walk to the beach. Make sure to take the provided key for entry and exit to the access spot. It does share a wall with another unit. The kitchen has all the countertop appliances and main things, bring any pantry items you need.

Beautiful View

This is with in minutes of a walk to the beach. With keys to get in to the private area of the beach. The beach was never overly crowded, we come for 4th of July. Fireworks from the Pier were visible from the beach as well. There is a beach view from the upstairs bedroom. There was plenty of beds and space for our family, very clean, and well equipped with all essentials. There was also a shower outside before the stairs to clean sand off you. Two separate decks on both levels and one at the front door entrance with seating on all 3. First level deck even had a table. We were well informed to bring paper towels, laundry soap, toilet paper and dish washer detergent. There is a pool for the guest in that area which was NEVER over crowded and open until 10pm nightly, has bathrooms and shower. Hands down would stay here again. Very clean and exactly what I would imagine a beach house to be!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
Location is excellent. Bare bones amenities. Dated decor and appearance. Master bedding was excellent—all other beds were brutal, even for children. Private access vs public access isn’t truly much benefit.Lots of opportunity to improve, but all in all, it was as advertised. We were fortunate to have had great weather for the duration of our stay. Bad weather days and being stuck inside would have been pretty underwhelming at this property.
