10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful trip. Love the balcony. The indoor pool was amazing. Very nice dishes and pots and pans, that in itself is a rare find. I know so many people rent these places and abuse everything in the unit. Everything in the unit appeared to me very clean and brand new no issues except the cleaning have the bathrooms. I am a cleaner by trade commercial and residential cleaning..from the ondition of the bathtub it appears no one was trained on how to use chemicals in a scrub brush I have not dusted the baseboards and quite some time so the moisture had caused the dirt and hair to basically be forever in the baseboards most people would not notice this but like I said that is my tree I'm notice everything when it comes to cleaning"

"The house was everything we were looking for and in a great location! We enjoyed the privacy and peacefulness of the location, while being so close to the beach, shops, restaurants, etc. There were great spaces in the house to spend time all together or to find a quiet space for yourself. The pool and hot tub were clean and well utilized! The hosts were very responsive and friendly. The house was amply stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!"

10/10 Excellent
"This beach home was absolutely perfect for us. We were looking for a place that allowed pets, had a pool, a short walk to the beach, fenced in backyard and this one was ideal. The home layout was awesome with a downstairs which led out to backyard area which was perfect for getting up and letting our pets out. The downstairs also had wonderful couch, TV and contained the washer and dryer. Being the first to get up, the downstairs allowed me to get our pets out and then come in and take a little nap without disturbing anyone else. Did I mention the hot tub? This was another outstanding feature! Our weather was a bit cool at times, so the hot tub made for a perfect way to relax during those days and nights. Both the pool and hot tub were super clean and the pool guy came twice during our week stay to ensure everything was ok. The upstairs had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy. My kids, like many, play these video games and as the home had multiple TV's, it enabled them to play the games when the weather wasn't ideal or in the evenings. The kitchen was awesome too with a large dining table where we all gathered for our meals. Beach access was super easy and a short walk. I can't express how perfect this beach home was for us. I am already looking forward to going back again next year!"

"Beautiful home with plenty of space for everybody to stay. House was on a quiet street and easy to find. Saw everything from butterflies to deer at the house! The code provided for check in never worked and we had to find another way into the house. Communication with the host was okay, when they reached out-they had a timely response back but we never received responses to inquiries prior to arriving about amenities at the house. Not a huge deal. Golf cart access, pool, and hot tub are all a huge seller! We had a good few laughs around the table outside!"
