Location was perfect in the middle of everything, very clean and has everything you need for a vacation rental…. nice spacious backyard JUST LOVED IT!! Will stay again
This place was like a dream. We did not want to leave. Our host was amazing as well. The location was close to everything. We definitely will be back and stay again.
The house is in a place convenient to drive to the beach and other attractions. The house was in good condition. If I had to complain about anything, maybe a little more mopping.There was beach chairs and other beach items in the garage for use also. It has a mermaid theme. Cute decor. Fire pit in back yard. We had a good stay and would recommend.
