Twice the Sunshine, Steps from the Sand – Welcome to Breezeway Duplex

Very good

Great location. Well-appointed kitchen with lots of kid-friendly dishes and utensils. Some beds were very uncomfortable. Could’ve been cleaner (floors weren’t swept well, bathrooms were a little grimy around the edges). We were unhappy with the towels and the host immediately had new towels delivered to us, which was great.

Hi there, thank you for your detailed feedback—we really appreciate it.
We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found the kitchen well stocked, especially for kids. We’re also happy our team was able to quickly resolve the towel issue during your stay.
That said, we’re sorry the cleanliness and some of the beds didn’t meet expectations. Your notes about the floors and bathrooms have been shared with our housekeeping team for follow-up, and we’ll also review the mattresses to ensure a more comfortable experience moving forward.
Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love the chance to host you again and provide a smoother stay next time.
