Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Week Vacation This house served its purpose for our week stay! Pros: the seclusion of being away from the crowd, playing board games, hosts style for decor and of course the pool! Cons: the water smells awful (which host states it has been tested) but still taking showers and flushing toilets makes the whole house stink. Recommend buying water in bulk to cook with & brush teeth with ##### Katherine G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica B. Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house was perfect for our family of 4. There is so much room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We loved the short drive to the beach and being able to park right on the sand. Use of the 4 beach chairs was super convenient. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool when we weren’t at the ocean, and having pool towels to use was so nice. The sound machines in each bedroom was a pleasant surprise. If you’re looking to be secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of beach towns, it’s a great spot. We had all of the cookware and grilling tools needed to cook all of our meals, as restaurants and grocery stores took over 30 minutes to get to. We never saw any wild horses on the property, but we spotted them driving around in surrounding neighborhoods and driving on the beach. The house is tastefully decorated with lots of bright colors and touches. The host was so kind and helpful! ##### Jessica B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha W. Aug 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach getaway with perfect location This house was absolutely perfect for our week away at Carova beach. This is our favorite beach to go to and this house made our trip. The house was so colorful and beautifully decorated. It was in a great location with less than a five minute drive to the beach. We were right by the state line which we absolutely love as it is less crowded down there. The house was a perfect size for our family and had everything we needed for our week. The pool was perfect for our kids. The hosts were incredible and made sure we had everything we needed and made sure the house was in perfect condition.Check in and check out process was a breeze. We saw plenty of wild carova horses driving around, on the beach, and even in the back yard. This vacation home with defiantly be booked by us for many years to come. ##### Samantha W.
