Beach access

Everything overall was good, disappointed that the beach access across the street was closed so the nearest beach was a couple miles away.

The property and owner were amazing and we would recommend/ return!! Everything is nearby and the beach is beautiful. We stayed on the ground level apartment, and it was comfortable for our family of 4 1 dog. Scot (owner) was super helpful and extremely responsive to questions.

Comfortabble stay for Beach getaway

This property was well stocked for our four night stay! We had everything we needed to whip up a few meals and big enough fridge for snacks/leftovers/drinks. The property was across the street and along a short residential path to access the beach. We appreciated having a couple of chairs and beach accessories readily available at the property too. Pull out mattress was comfy! Thank you!

Spring break 2023

Pros - location and price Cons - cleanliness, coffee maker didn’t work, first floor unit ( we had small kids above us, we left a day early because of it ) pull out bed was dirty ( trash and fake nails ) Overall, we would probably come back but consider a top unit due to noise. Location was nice with the private beach.
