Our group had an awesome time during our stay. The location is wonderful. Overall great experience. Great communication with the property manager. Loved our vacation!!
We had a great time here. The house was very clean. The location is driving distance to the hangout and had some great local restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend.

Great property/location poorly managed
Master Bath had half roll of TP for 4 night stay. Dishwasher was full of dishes on arrival. Pool was advertised as heated but was too cold for the kids. After reaching out to mgmt I was blown off and told to be patient bcs the pool takes a while to heat up and told based on mgmt’s phone app that temp was adequate as it was at 76. Pool was finally warm enough to use the final day of our stay. For the amount we were spending it just felt like things were being done on the cheap. But the house and location were wonderful, easy beach access, and lots of privacy. Has potential to be a 5-star beach house.

Good time of year to visit.
Condo was well equipped with condiments ;
salt, pepper, coffee filters, Had enough pots and pans and other kitchen items . The storage closet outside was full of pails, shovels and floats of all sizes .
I was very dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the place! Under the beds desperately needed dusting as did the ceiling fans. Trash can area in kitchen was filthy, trash cans outside were very smelly and need to be cleaned. The door in the upstairs master was hard to keep closed but the air conditioner worked well. Probably would not stay there again .
We weren’t sure what to expect after reading some bad reviews after we had already booked. If you are looking for “new” and fancy- this isn’t the home for you. You should go to a higher price point- like twice as high if those things are important. We were all pleasantly surprised and quite frankly think those low reviews are ridiculous! The kitchen has MORE than enough dishes, pots and pans and utensils. There were coffee filters, spices, laundry soap, dishwasher soap. The owners even provided big, thick beach towels and tons of beach toys, floats and chairs. The location can’t be beat. The pool was lovely and no smaller than any private home beach pool. Yes, you hear the neighbors going up the steps but they hear you also. It’s not a big deal. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the beds upstairs (3 bedrooms up) really were not too comfortable according to my adult children. The king downstairs was fine for my husband and myself. We would love to make this home our annual family vacation rental if the mattresses get upgraded. But we had a wonderful stay and made fabulous memories!

Check in process was easy and location was great. Having a heated pool was a nice bonus. However, the property needs a deep clean and some TLC.
Pool was vey well maintained our entire visit. Access to beach was fantastic especially with small children. It was peaceful and relaxing. Thank you Sarah. It’s definitely a vacation we all will never forget.
The house is beautiful and has lots of room! It’s super close to the beach and the pool was heated. We actually spent a lot of time enjoying the pool. I will definitely consider this home for our next vacation!
This house was awesome! It’s a great location to grocery stores, restaurants, & fun things to do! The beach was so private & the pool was perfect for the kiddos!
We enjoyed our overall stay very much. There are some upkeep issues that need to be addressed at the property such as loose tiles throughout the house and an area where a leak upstairs has Sheetrock coming loose in the living room. All ceiling fans need dusted as well. Great place for large groups who want to be right on the beach!
The owners were very nice, attentive and communicative. Everything was as advertised except having a large seafood pot. Plenty of beach chairs and toys which was nice to enjoy. Highly recommend staying here!
We totally loved the unit. Everything was as described in the listing. The pool was a great addition. Access to the beach was perfect.
We will probably be using this unit again!
Beautiful house and location! Had everything we needed. The toy closet in the carport was a HUGE hit and saved us a ton of money. Did not have one single complaint and will definitely use yall again!
Had to rewash a lot of dishes and utensils Ceilings were leaking really bad when it rained. Tracy knew this before she rented to us and then tried to send out someone the day before we left. Sheets were dirty. Had to spend half day washing them. Hair and makeup on them. The only good thing I can say is beach and pool were great. Lot of cracked tile. Dirty furniture. Worst place we ever stayed. Asked to be moved but was told no.

Perfect for families
The condo was absolutely perfect for a few families. We used the pool constantly throughout the stay and it was well maintained. The beach was clean and so close that it touched the deck. Extremely quiet, peaceful and safe at night.
The only problem we had was with the beds. We joked that when we come back, we'll have mattresses shipped. Other than that, it was perfect and we will definitely be back.

This beach house is awesome!
I loved being able to stay right on the beach and hear the waves rolling in. The house was nicely decorated and had everything we needed to cook our meals at home. We loved having two master suites also. The house was in a great location, very close to the best restaurants which had no waits this time of year. The weather was perfect for taking walks on the beach and relaxing by the pool! Having bikes was a nice benefit too. There was a porch area under the house with cool breezes and a grilling area. The house was clean and comfortable and seemed well insulated. We will definitely stay here again!!
Nice location, had a great time but ....Pool should be heated through April not March. Televisions are terrible. Only first floor bedroom TV worked. Living room TV kept freezing up and restarting. Two TV's upstairs did not work at all and the other only got the Friends show.
We paid several thousand dollars for this rental and were extremely disappointed by the number of unacceptable issues we encountered. The listing photos are misleading and do not reflect the current condition of the property.There is visible mold on the ceiling in the living room. Only one TV remote in the entire unit works. There is no broom, mop, or vacuum available—yet both the floors and the pool were covered in sand when we arrived. The downstairs master bedroom has multiple broken tiles, the toilet seat is damaged, and water pressure throughout the home is very low. A frayed lamp cord in the downstairs bedroom also poses a serious fire hazard.After reaching out to both the owner and the cleaning company, we were told a mop and broom could be delivered. This response is simply not acceptable. At this price point, guests should never be expected to handle basic cleaning upon check-in. The lack of preparation reflects poorly on both the owner’s management and the cleaning company’s standards.The only positive aspect of this rental is that it truly is located directly on the beach—but that alone does not justify the condition of the home or the premium price.

Never Again
pool is much, much smaller than pictured. Pool did not appear to have been cleaned prior to our arrival had sand in pool. Underwater pool light did not work.Missing deck umbrella at pool side. Some bathroom lights were out, interior floor laminate is peeling in places. Outside deck paint gone exposing rusted screw heads. Kitchen lacked the cookware for 12 people. Had a 2 slot toaster and a 6" diameter skillet for 12 people. Found a couple of wall outlets not working. Missing livingroom curtain, could not watch TV in daytime because of the sunlight glare off TV. We only had 6 people but felt crowed and disapointed with the amenities. For what was paid, we expected much better.
