Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great vacation spot We loved this property for our annual summer beach vacation. 5 Stars all the way around. The only minor complaint I would make has nothing to do with this property but rather the neighbors that had 3-4 cats just wandering about outside which made it a bit of a hassle with our dogs. ##### Nathan H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amber B. Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a beautiful home that fit perfectly for our family. Check in was so simple and easy and the rental company was amazing to deal with. The bedrooms were a decent size with nice large closet spaces. The parking situation was not ideal for having multiple cars so be mindful of that. ##### Amber B.
