All updated, roomy kitchen and bedrooms and all the necessary cookware is there. Fantastic location as well. We’ll look for this one again. ##### Dave H.

May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### great location, nice place Everything was nice, stylish and well-equipped. My 2 kids enjoyed having their own bedrooms, and it was nice that the master was remote. Very easy walk to the beach, Miller's Grill and Murdoch's. The older Keurig was a little tricky to get more than a few tablespoons of coffee from, but they had a regular coffee pot too. I couldn't get the back gate to open from the outside keypad so we just parked in the front and never had any issues. Those are tiny things that didn't bother us much at all, and everything else really was perfect. Our bed was really comfortable. Overall, a very nice place. 5 stars. ##### Paul G.

May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice stay - will come back house layout great as well as closeness to beach. Some noise pollution from dogs in nearby rentals, We stayed at this site previously and knew it would fit our needs - one large bedroom that could fit parents with small 2 yr old twins and 2other bedrooms on other side of house for others. House has nice linens, towels, and kitchen ware. ##### Kevin K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan R.

It is spacious with three bedrooms and two full baths. The home was exactly as advertised and the location is excellent with many restaurants nearby. The kitchen is well equipped and the furniture is comfortable. We had two small dogs so the fenced yard and electric gate were appreciated. ##### Dennis M.

Oct 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, spacious house and great location The house was well designed. The primary suite was on one side of the house, which provided separation, if needed. The other two bedrooms were spacious and had good closet space. Both bathrooms were well designed. The front yard and back yard were connected and fenced in, so Roxy the Dog was able to enjoy the yard. Parking is available in the back yard via the alley. The beach, seawall, Murdoch’s was just a short walk away. We hope to be back next year. ##### Cindy S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra M.

Sad for dog and does get on your nerves after a while. But hopefully if that taken care of , the property is a 10+ ##### Sandra M. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephanie B.
