In the evening, cozy up by the fireplace with a glass of wine or create lasting memories with a game of ping pong, shuffleboard, or pool. Worried about missing your workout routine? No need!

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brittany L. Aug 14, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrible property management The property itself was nice, but we were riddled with issues. Elevator didn’t work. They sent a tech out to repair it, but it broke again an hour later. They were doing construction on the house while we were there, so we shared the house basically all day Friday with a construction crew. When I called to speak with the property management, Destiny was supposedly the only one I could speak to. But of course she has ignored my numerous calls/VMs/emails. So now I will go ahead and file a chargeback for the terrible stay. ##### Brittany L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda S.

It was our yearly family vacation and we fell in love with the beach. We could tell all the appliances and amenities in the kitchen and the whole house were outstanding. ##### Brenda S.
