VERY NICE HOUSE!
Our family and friend absolutely enjoyed our stay! Not used to a stocked house with everything you need! Close to beach and shops but far enough away to go relax after all the chaos and noise! Never had to reach out to the owners. Everything was perfect and comfortable! They do a wonderful job of providing you with everything! Only downer was tvs is not cable and we are not familiar with surfing through roku. But honestly who cares....we played games so not much TV needed! If your looking for a nice place this is it! I could go on and on! THANK YOU SHOUT OUT TO THE OWNERS!

Great place
The owners are great, the place is new and clean. Very nice home feeling. The only downside was that we were not aware until after booking that we had to bring our own linens. This made travelling a lot harder with 8 people but it wasn’t a deal breaker, we still enjoyed it very much.

Eric and Jen were super helpful with everything! Very quick and efficient to respond. The only thing is that there was no grill. Super clean, cute, and perfect for a group of 6-8! Highly recommend! And very close to the beach, we walked frequently. Lots of shopping and food options nearby as well.
