Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel M. Jul 15, 2025 #### Perfect get away. Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that was close to the beach. This fit the bill perfectly. It was such a clean and fresh smelling house- not a hint of mold. Kitchen and living room had a nice flowing layout. All of our children commented how they really enjoyed the house. A definite winner. ##### Daniel M.
