Great place to stay, the beach is literally steps away. Views are amazing! Everything was as indicated in the pictures with the exception of a porch swing; however, there was a nice hammock on the upper deck. Most beach properties that I’ve previously stayed at have some beach chairs for use while staying on the property, that would be one of my only suggestions on improvement. Overall great trip and would highly recommend!

Thanks for the 5-star review! So glad you had a great time staying with us.
This is a great house just steps away from the beach! We loved the space for a group and the well equipped kitchen. The beds were also quite comfortable. It was also convenient to Seven Seas Grocery for last minute items. We had a blast during Mardi Gras and exploring the island and hope to be back soon!:)

On arrival, the house was filthy. We had several people showing up so there was no time to get in touch with someone to clean. We took matters into our own hands and scrubbed it ourselves. The power went out a few times and that was reported.

Suggest bringing a wagon to get gear to the beach as the entrance is very near the house, but a little far if you are carrying a cooler, tent and chairs.

Pleasant Stay
Very comfortable arrangements, needs a little TLC otherwise very pleasant location and actually to beach.
The house was beautiful and very clean! LOVED LOVED LOVED it! The view is great from the decks and the bedrooms have doors that open to the porch and you can still hear the waves while dozing in the bed. The beach trail is close and it was wonderful to walk along the beach. We do plan to come back with the family and maybe make it our getaway :)

The location is a major highlight - a short walk to the beach with great views. The house comfortably accommodated our large group, and the A/C unit kept everyone cool. There was ample hot water both inside and in the outdoor shower. The large pantry and well supplied kitchen made cooking manageable. The Not-So-Good Unfortunately, several issues significantly impacted our experience. The property is an older house that is in need of considerable maintenance. Most urgently, the septic tank was overflowing during our stay- a serious sanitation concern that needs to be addressed immediately. The charcoal grill was heavily rusted and too filthy to use, which was disappointing for a beach rental. We also arrived to find all the trash cans already full, leaving us with nowhere to dispose of our trash.On the cleanliness front, we found large cockroaches in the kitchen and downstairs areas, this is unacceptable and needs professional pest control. Finally, the bathroom supplies provided were grossly inadequate for a group of 18 over a 4 days. Each person received only one set of towels for the entire stay and a quarter-size bar of soap and a tiny bottle of shampoo. This forced us to do two loads of laundry every single day- not what anyone wants to do on vacation. We hope the owner takes this feedback seriously so future guests can enjoy the great location without these frustrations.
The communication with the property manager was so fast and I really appreciated that. We had a large group, so while there was not enough dining area indoors to all eat together, the sleeping accommodations worked out well. The kitchen dishes and silverware was well stocked and we were able to comfortably cook and the best part was the proximity to the beach.

Lovely home! Easy check-in. All amenities in place. Pictures of bedrooms were mostly representative of rooms. Easy walk to beach. The beach felt private. Best part was the comfort of the mattresses- felt very high end.

Thanks for your review, Joy! We love hearing from our guests. We can’t wait to host you again soon.
We spent Christmas there with family. The house was very nice as pictured. It accommodated everyone very well. The beach access is right there which made walking on the beach a breeze. Most restaurants and stores are about 20 mins down the strip. The house is more secluded just others beach houses around. The house could have used more cleaning supplies and rugs. Additionally you will need to bring your own beach things if you don’t want to rent from the house. We were able to get groceries via insta cart but I don’t think many food places deliver out there. Communicating with the house was very simple check in and check out was also not an issue. Overall it was a great Christmas experience

I rented the house for my mom's 60th birthday. The host was very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The home was amazing and right on the beach. The location was perfect and not too busy. I highly recommend staying here.

Thanks for the 5-star review, Shavonna! So glad you had a great time staying with us.
The home is beautiful, could use a few repairs and could use a new outside grill, but overall, we had a wonderful time. The view was awesome! Quite neighborhood. We had family from Iowa and their children had never been to a beach before, so they had a blast looking for seashells and playing on the beach! Beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!
