Nov 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wonderful hosts that go above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable stay. We brought our 2 dogs and they even had dog beds, treats and water bowls set out for them. The cabinets are very nicely organized with labels, a nice assortment of dishes and beach bags, cups and towels to enjoy the beach. Beach toys, chairs and umbrellas were also provided. We had a wonderful time for my dad’s 70th birthday with this gorgeous view and a perfect beach getaway. Highly recommend! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dadbdac4-0123-4cae-af72-3f3ad68dc7c7-1762734815581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bab19f29-2835-490a-a1cb-702aa26c2435-1762734816309.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd1f2835-4425-4c6d-9407-7a3b39ecdeb3-1762734815414.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0a2ffc01-1acb-4255-9b63-e16c47b36149-1762734816450.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anna T.
