Perfect spot close to beach and restaurants to stay. Comfortable beds and clean.

Everything was great. Property was just what we paid for. Weather was not cooperating for our beach getaway but we played games and relaxed. Only negative was the constant generator running for street project but that’s out of owner’s control

Graduation Trip

We came from Kansas for our kids' graduation gift. The host Ms. Carrie was exceptional on getting back to me with any questions. I think it was within 30 minutes from me initiating the contact. The snacks left in the cabinet was a nice welcoming and homey feeling walking in to. Our only suggestion to her was more mirrors and she said she was already on top of that! 😁 I will recommend this property to anyone looking!
