House is just as pictured, beautiful and great location. Pool is small but perfect size for a few people to cool off in. Walking distance from the bay side and rod and reel pier. Highly recommend staying here!

Cutest House and Perfect Vacation!
I stayed here with 3 friends, and the house was perfect! The outside area was so nice at night. The pool was very nice to have. The house was so cute and so nicely decorated. It was a quick commute to the beach and to all the little shops and the piers. I highly recommend staying here!

No refrigerator
The property manager let us know about an hour before we arrived that the refrigerator wasn’t cooling and a part was on order. They supplied a cooler and offered to reimburse our ice purchases. I had to reach out to them on my own to see when the refrigerator would be repaired, hoping it would be the same day, turns out the fridge was broken the whole entire time. So by day two, I had a giant cooler full of water and no fridge to properly store our food. A cooler is fine for drinks but not a safe way to store food. This caused our family significant expenses in both time and money because we had to dine out for every meal. I asked to be compensated, the most the property owner would do was refund one night stay. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend this property due to the lack of empathy and respect from the owner.

We really enjoyed this house....very beautiful home and fully stocked with all you need. The location was the best for us as we love Rod N Reel Pier! The only suggestions I would make are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and an outdoor shower. Other than that, pretty perfect! Thanks so much for having us!
