"We had an amazing time at the house!! It was great having all the linens and towels there already. They do supply 4 rolls of TP but if you think your group will need more make sure you grab it. (That was our only thing we forgot) But zero complaints and will definitely rent from them again"

"We loved our stay and the location beachfront was wonderful. The beds were comfy and communication was above average. Being on the beach the wear and tear on the interior was obvious. Updating and organizing the kitchen plus replacing overly used throw rugs didnt take away from our fun but would keep me from making this a five star review. I will definitely schedule a return."

"Beautiful property! Ted was an amazing host. He answered my text and calls promptly prior to our visit. We were traveling with our 12 yr old medically complex grandson. Ted helped to make sure we had everything we needed to accommodate our grandson for our trip. He even helped to make sure we had a beach wheelchair for him, We are looking forward to returning next year! Highly recommend"
