Great location and only a couple blocks from the main drag near many restaurants and shops and not far from the beach. It was a little chilly during our stay so we didn't get to use the outdoor area, but it was also a wonderful space. ##### Mary D. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana P.

The pool and grounds are great for a big family and for celebrations. Management was very responsive and nice, quickly resolved any minor issues we encountered. ##### Abigail A. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brittany F. Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Construction surprises This house is going through construction and we were completely unaware. There was nails and screws all throughout the pea gravel in the backyard. We found a few the first night we were there and brushed it off. Third day we spent a ton of time in the backyard and noticed sooo many nails and screws. I’m talking at least 30! Me and a few members of my family spent 2 hours of our time searching over the pea gravel to pick up all the nails and screws from the new addition that was being built. We had 6 small kids and thank god none of them managed to step on a nail. We also looked through some of the turf and found a few of the hooks that keep the turf down and they were sticking right out. Those hooks are at least 9inches long. Property management company was easy to get ahold of and said they weren’t aware of any construction. Other things to be aware of is the king bed in the guest house does not have a box spring and you can feel every bar in your back while laying on it. We found a dirty bowl and pan in the kitchen. The bowl still had Chex mix in it. I would say I definitely won’t be returning to this house. ##### Brittany F. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey L.
