May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great short stay Stayed for the weekend due to a wedding that we were attending in the area. Wonderful home and had all things we needed for our short stay. The neighborhood was perfect and proximity to the beach was perfect! One note however, make sure you are good with climbing and going down fairly steep stairs, as the bedrooms are on the second level and living and dining areas are on the third level. ##### Erin V.
