What a great place for family!
This home was absolutely amazing! Just like the listing, house was beautiful/clean/nice pool. The management team messaged beach updates daily, which was so convenient. Walking distance to the beach, shops, and the hangout! Definitely family friendly, we actually made friends with the neighbor renters and our kids were able to play in the pool together each day. Safe location and just so peaceful. It was the perfect getaway! 10/10 recommend if you have small children & pets.

Nice newer house close to the beach
Nice place just as advertised. Place qas clean except for some dead cockraoches. It is just a short walk the the beach and not far from restaurants. It is unfortunate they don't provide an extra trash bag, dishwasher soap or toilet paper. Dishwasher didn't wash the dishes which makes me wonder if the dishes we used were really clean. Overall it was a nice place withcomfy beds and space to relax.

Great , relaxing stay
We had the best vacation & stay here. Check in and check out was so easy & contactless. Very very clean and very nice property. The house was apparently updated or new construction . Was in a very quiet relaxing, enjoyed it very much. Kids loved the swimming pool and had it all to ourselves. Kids also loved having their own bedrooms and bathrooms . We honestly loved our stay so much we would definitely stay here again. Easy, short walk to beach access. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Excellent Vacation Rental!
Really awesome property. Kids loved the double sets of bunk beds. Everything was in excellent condition, very clean and easy to figure out. Loved the setup of the 8 units around the pool - a bit warmer of a pool would have been nice but it didn't stop the kids from enjoying it. Easy walk down the street to the beach, the market (which really has everything you'd need - food and supplies, beach items, souvenirs). Sea 'n Suds on the beach has some great food too! If we are in the area again, will definitely look into staying here.

Family Fun
Our family (my husband and I, my parents, and our son) had a great time! The location was close to the beach and plenty of great food options. We loved the pool area- it was never crowded. The living room/dining/kitchen was bright and spacious. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean with good storage. We’d definitely stay here again!
