The Perfect Place!

We really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 young children. The location was outstanding and the balcony was perfect for gathering in the evenings. Clean and shining with everything we needed. We would definitely return!

Beachfront Oasis

We had such a wonderful time ringing in the New Year at a beachfront property. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Mark, our host, was wonderful with his communication. My kids loved being able to run down to the beach while we watched from the deck. Perfect stay for a family. We will be booking again!

When the only complaint is the salt and pepper shakers shown in the photos did not have any salt and pepper in them, then you really have no complaints. Great location, deck avoids afternoon sun

Great property for a family!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. *Note, our trip was one week after Hurricane Beryl, so we know there are some things out of the property manager's control (like the crazy amount of mosquitos). 5 Stars: -Location & Neighborhood: Less than a minute walk to the beach. -Check-in process: super easy & accurate info before check in date. -Communication with the property manager: quick responses (before & during our stay). 4 Stars -Accuracy of the listing: The inside was updated and looked great. However, there was a 3"-4" layer of sand under the house that made parking tricky and the outdoor shower and bbq area hard to use. The beach is also much wider now, as the hurricane took out the sand dunes. 3 Stars -Cleanliness of Property: The property was mostly clean, but there were somethings that were incomplete. There was some laundry left in the washer, a couple of dead bugs and a very dusty intake vent. When we messaged the property manager, he found out that his cleaning crew had to leave early due to an illness so they didn't get a chance to finish. The sand was not cleaned during our stay. We also had ants and a bee come in the house. We noticed bees buzzing around one corner of the house when we first arrived. The ants came in on day 3. What to know: -Kitchen is WELL equipped, but no storage for groceries. -Access to hose both downstairs & upstairs. Super convenient! -Parking area is a tight fit for trucks. -About 20 stairs up to the house.
