We really enjoyed the stay!

Everything was nice and clean! The kids enjoyed the game that was there! There were signs up which made it easier. Thankful for the cart because my car didn’t get sand in it from the trips to the beach!

Just past Jamaica Beach

Pleasant. You’ll need a new oven mitt as the one which was there had a hole in it I didn’t see and I burned my ring finger so bad it has a blister on it. Nice place though!

Nice stay!

The house was great - as described. The deck was great (in morning and late afternoon) with the breeze, even in the heat of summer. We didn’t stay long enough to use any of the space downstairs, but that looked inviting as well! The knick-knacks on bedside table were a bit dusty. And having to strip bed and take out trash seems to somewhat cancel the “cleaning fee.” 😬 I know having to clean some is standard these days. We had a really relaxing time!

We would go back

The house was roomy and in a great location. The beach entrance is right across the main road and you can park on the beach. The house had all the kitchen accessories you need. Our only complaint was the door handle to the front door was messed up and needs to be replaced but pretty sure they knew since it was duck taped. Also had you use the key to get in but that wasn’t a big deal. Comfy bed and great AC. Wager/dryers came in handy. Huge refrigerator. Loved the big porch. We enjoyed our stay.

Quick Beach Trip

Wanted to get away to the beach for a couple days and wanted something close that we could bring our dog. This was perfect. Nothing too fancy, but had all the amenities. Great porches where you could see the ocean and the bay past the other homes. The only issue we had was with the front lock. I would recommend replacing, because even when the code would make the bolt turn (which eventually stopped), you still had to be pulling on the door a certain way to get it to lock/unlock.

unlisted cameras that peer into the living room

Cameras on property that view inside home. Privacy curtains have been removed in such a way to allow viewing inside the living room. Sand and mold in the washing machine made it unusble. Dangerous lamp in kids room repaired with electrical tape. Not what we expected.

Hi Kenneth, we're sorry your stay fell short of expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - As stated in the listing, we have security cameras on the home's exterior. They do not look into interior spaces. We apologize for any confusion - We never had privacy curtains in the kitchen windows in order to allow more light in - The washer does have some staining, but it's clean and safe to use - The lamp is from Indonesia and has to be connected with electrical tape, and it's perfectly safe. It has never needed any repairs Thank you for your insight, as we look forward to hosting many satisfied guests!

Nice but could use better cleaning

The microwave, stove, and some of the dishes were not clean when we arrived. Other than the cleanliness issue, the home was comfy and nice. The neighbors next door had their yard serviced the first night we arrived, and they blew trash into the yard, and made it really uncomfortable to sit outside and relax. They also had construction going on at the house next door bright and early at 7 am the first morning with loud music and singing going on by the contractors.

Nice get away home

Our family enjoyed our stay at this property. It was well stocked for all our needs! The house is a close drive to the beach, in a quiet neighborhood. Our sons enjoyed fishing at the back of the neighborhood, and the pool is nice too! We would stay here again.

Great place

Our stay was amazing. The location was great and the beach was not crowded. The property owner was amazing. We ran into a problem with the ac and he had a technician out to fix it within a few hours.
