Jul 26, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Wish I could say better Had to call the moment we got there because multiple things were broken or not in working order... Called Sat, Sun, Wed- everyone was always very nice but shouldn't have to call multiple times and wait for half our stay to have a microwave and tv, etc. The whole house in the interior is filled with OLD furniture and needs to be replaced. Kitchen cabinets were filled with pottery that was lovely but not usable. We ended up washing all the dishes we needed to use first because the dishes in cabinets were not clean. Disappointed... especially for the price. ##### Michele S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda B., Charlotte Aug 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer week August 2019 The property is very nice. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet and spacious property near the beach. I enjoyed this home very much . ##### Linda B.
