Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils for preparing meals. The only issue we had at all was finding several nails in the parking area and yard from what appears to be some recent renovations. ##### christy d.

While it showed some use, and we needed to purchase trash baags and some other things, it was a good deal and a great location. We had perfect weather until the last copld of days when the beach disappeared because of the approaching front. ##### Steve F. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason S. Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved this property! Don't get me wrong--it's basic, but it does the job. Family of five stayed comfortably for a week and really enjoyed it. There's only one indoor shower, but the outdoor shower works well. The kitchen is stocked well enough though definitely check to make sure they have the pans you need before shopping. If you're looking for comfortable, quiet, functional and super close to the beach this is perfect. It's a nice location--walking distance to a few restaurants, and a quick drive to many others. VERY short walk to a fantastic beach. It never got very crowded and there are several protected areas nearby. Great price for a great location! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/466f2c8d-0f6a-4eb4-879a-0b9326b9cca7-1752463330627.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason S.
