Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The best little beach spot!! From the moment we booked our stay the host was so communicative and accommodating! We absolutely loved this trip and mainly because the place was so spacious and set up perfectly! The location is not too far the beach and restaurants. The check in process was so easy. The beds were comfortable and they offer plenty of towels which was super convenient! They provide coffee and all the fixings. The kitchen was a dream as well as the great sized porch! Also loved having the washer and dryer so we could come home with all clean clothes!! Overall just an incredible vacation our family had! We would definitely book again!! ##### Erin D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025
