Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### As advertised When we showed up the rental was very clean. It had everything we were told about in the listing. We will definitely use this rental again in the future! ##### Brad B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle S. Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little spot The space was very clean and beds were comfy. Just a short stroll to the beautiful waters and fluffy white sands of the beach. The supplies are more like a timeshare setup than BnB rentals I've done. Blender, can opener, and a few other kitchen tools would go a long way. Lots of dishes and serving dishes were nice to have. Plenty of grocery stores, target, and walmart are all close by. All in all a great little spot to stay. ##### Michelle S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025
