Aug 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely small rental home nearby town and beach areas This is a very nice small house, with an efficient floorplan. The kitchen was very well apportioned, and was probably the best overall kitchen I've experienced in a rental home. The check in was easy, and the door code made everything simple. The only issue I had with it is that the beds are very hard and not especially comfortable. That's a bit of a problem for a place where you want to sleep for several nights. Softer mattresses would really put this place over the top. ##### Linda J. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie P.
