Nothing too fancy. Everything neat, tidy and clean. Room was laid out. Property was very well kept. ##### Patrick D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cathleen N. Mar 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### One week stay on beach It had a good location on the beach but the queen bed should have a much better mattress. It just had form and I had a hard time sleeping. The key for the dead bolt got stuck when trying to open the door. May need replacement also. ##### Cathleen N.
