Aug 22, 2024 #### Great stay Great stay with close walk to the beach! ##### Cassie B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Roxy C. Jun 18, 2024 #### Average We had a great time at the beach. It's close to everything and being with family and friends made it fun. Thank you for renting this place to us. A Some recommendations: Unit A & B upstairs bedrooms are hot. It's humid and uncomfortably hot, it's very hard to sleep. The restroom is stuffy and warm. Unit A: stove would turn on but not heat up the food. We had to cook in unit B. Wash wouldn't wash well but dryer worked. Unit B the washer would wash but dryer wasn't drying. ##### Roxy C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley L. Jul 17, 2025 ##### Ashley L.
