The townhouse has a great location and nice distance to the beach. It was very roomy for our visit with grandkids. Our host Kristi was very interactive and helpful. Would definitely rent again!

The house was overall okay, but some rooms were kind of bare. None of the bedrooms have televisions or dressers if you like to unpack. Host was very responsive

Getting in was. difficult for my family who arrived very late. The floor was open as it turned out but they tried the code and it didn't work. They had to sleep on sofa's at another unit until the next day. Unfortunate.

I’m glad you had a good time and were comfortable in our home. Our unit is not oceanfront, but the complex is and it’s a very short walk to the beach access.

If you aren’t a fussy person, this unit will work. It wasn’t the cleanest upon checking in. There was a big hole in the wall, I did contact the host and she said it was to be repaired next week along with carpet cleaning. (Which was needed) There are a lot of steps, so make sure you’re able to do them. It wasn’t a major problem for our crew, but I can see it for some people. The kitchen was well stocked, but could use updates. There were several chipped plates and frying pans need replacing. The pool is on the small side for how many units there are. But, late August isn’t as busy as June and July. There is a nice playground next door and easy access to the beach. Overall, it’s OK if you aren’t particular about certain things.

Great Place to Stay

Host was a very responsive host when I had questions. Nice place to stay, an easy walk to the beach, and then I was able to relax in the pool. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And for those who talked about the music across the street they stopped at 1000 and it was only one night. Thanks for the nice stay!

Easy walk to beach, comfy townhouse

We relished the quick and easy walk to the beach and enjoyed the shared pool for a relaxed water alternative. We appreciated the outdoor shower and hose access to minimize bringing sand into the home. The open shared space was enjoyable to share with friends.

We had a great stay! The condo was great and provided privacy when needed with 3 levels. Only w things to be aware of. The steps for anyone with issue climbing steps and parking. We came from 4 different corners of Va so parking gets tricky after 3rd vehicle. Otherwise, would recommend highly!
