Our two families, kids from 10-18 fit very comfortably and the property had something for everyone. So easy to walk to and from the private beach with use of the beach wagon, extra chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. The outdoor space is perfect for playing in the pool or relaxing, plenty of outdoor furniture options in the sun or shade. Fishing off the deck and ping pong kept kids entertained for hours.

May 7, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Issues I have communicated with Johnny and was very disappointed in his comments. The deck in the picture looks nothing like it was. It needed a lot of repairs, boards and nails were sticking up. the fence that was attached to the wall was pulling away and seemed dangerous. The patio door off the pool into the kitchen area we could never get it to lock. We used a broom to keep us safe. The track on the patio door look like it had never been cleaned and was very difficult to open and close. The drapes in the dining room were very old and had holes in the sheers. There were a swarm of sand flees in the corner by the drapes in the dining room. The bathrooms had running toilets. No kleenex and only one roll of paper towels for an entire week. The picture on line showed bicycles in the garage, there were none just a ping pong table. The access to the beach was nice and we used that everyday. I felt for a 5 star VRBO it need a lot of work. Not a place I would stay again for the money. Over rated for the price and not even in season yet. ##### Patricia M. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer B. Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property was just like the listing, easy to book and communicate with host. It is super close to restaurants and shops and also the private beach. The guys loved fishing from the backyard. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e9315c73-708e-4b2b-94b2-2df78b7408ad-1753734095512.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c6b9c4cc-4977-4a6d-9d63-7f6d0e78231f-1753734097539.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/37156de9-ba81-4f8d-a42c-f8802c6b1818-1753734098672.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer B.

We enjoyed the pool, location to everything, beach, etc. The property owners were quick to respond on any issues. The property was as described and in a beautiful setting. We were pleasantly surprised at how close to the beach and the ease of access it was. The rooms were nice and we had plenty of space of our party of 8! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25d4f815-5a08-4e38-8082-77d8f660d086-1753107584859.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e793df4a-ac89-48fe-b485-3bfbdd5b9e30-1753107585130.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/719d8f17-5fcd-415c-9bee-2776af1c1733-1753107585201.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Theresa G.
