It’s close to all the beaches and towns. The only issue we had was the management never returning our messages in regards to an ant infestation in the kitchen. It was bad enough that we had to go out and buy traps, but they really didn’t help. ##### Andrea P.

This property was extremely clean and a new construction, super conveniently located near multiple beaches and national seashore. We absolutely loved Esch beach and hiking trails including the dune climb. Lovely roadside farm stands nearby for fresh eggs and produce. The kitchen is large and made it easy for meal prep. Refreshing time in a beautiful and secluded location in woods. ##### Mara B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim B.

Beautiful beaches, lakes, and countryside. ##### Tim B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### matt d. Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Great private location. Over all clean. Poor customer service. Check in was fairly easy. Home was clean and furnished nicely. Unfortunaelty on the first morning we noticed coffee pot was missing and fire pit was unkept (18 inch weeds around it) so called and asked for a coffee pot and for the fire pit to be mowed. We stayed 4 nights and 5 days and neither of the items were taken care of even after a second phone call request. I'm a veteran and came for my anniversary. Could have been a 5 star rating if customer service would have been attended to. ##### matt d.
