1 Cartgate is a gem of a vacation rental! Both check-in and check-out were smooth.
The home was spotless and had plenty of room for our family. We found the home to be comfortably furnished and the kitchen was very well stocked. Loved having bikes, a beach cart and beach towels provided. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened porch and swimming in the pool!
We definitely plan to book this property in the future. 10/10!!
From the moment we walked through the door, we were taken with the beauty and tranquility of this home. I don’t know if it’s the architecture, the calm beautiful paint colors and the decor of the home, or the fact that everything we could possibly hope for was provided. From the 4 bikes in the garage,the beach wagon, beach towels, the professionally equipped kitchen, start up pkgs of soap, paper towels and trash can liners - we didn't want for a thing. The extra bonus from the vacation company for beach chairs, corn hole game, and beach board was so appreciated. There were even rafts at the pool, which was fabulous. We have used vbro three to four times per year. This was hands down the nicest, most comfortable home we have ever had the pleasure to visit. Well done Owners ! Your home is magnificant !
