Nice location, close to beach
Overall house was very nice. The major problem for our stay was the door was not able to be locked when leaving the property. You can lock the door from the inside but not from the outside. So when we would go out to eat the door had to be left unlocked. This is a security risk that I am sure their insurance doesn't cover. The dishwasher racks also have rust on them and needs to be replaced. So not a 5 star for me,due to the issues

Great Beach House!
Accurately presented online, close proximity to the beach, great hangout area below the house, plenty of seating in living room and dinning area, and water pressure was good enough that we could take showers at the same time!

Loved this house!
Perfect for a group of 10. Every room had its own bathroom which was so nice! Walking distance to beach. Would stay again. Only issue was that checkout was at 11am. Lock code on door was supposed to work until 11am. Code stopped working before 9 am. Got locked out of house while taking out some trash. Luckily someone was inside to let me in. Other than that, had no complaints.

Nice and clean house
Very clean, fresh paint, wonderfully uncluttered. Nice deck. Bring your own beach towels. Boardwalk across to beach accommodated our golf cart, which was great when getting our chairs & supplies to the beach. House is on corner of road so a bit of road noise.
