We found everything to be clean, well-stocked & cozy. Having the beach & restaurants/shops close by was a plus. We also spent time sitting in the fenced-in backyard relaxing & playing ball with our pup. We would definitely stay here again and appreciated our host's responsiveness to any questions we had. ##### Marty K. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dayna L.

Our stay was wonderful, the house was well stocked, close to everything, and the mattresses were comfortable (you just never know sometimes)! We had a problem with the keyless entry one day and the owner was quick to respond and fix the issue. The only little thing that isn't listed is, while the fenced in back yard is large and was amazing for our dogs. You can't get to it through the inside of the house, you have to take the dogs out the front door and around the side of the house to enter theyard. We will be back! Thank you! ##### Sara C.

An easy walk to the beach within a quiet, pleasant neighborhood. The pictures are accurate of this beautifully decorated home with quality, updated appliances. (We really appreciated the refrigerator that included a filtered water and ice dispenser, and they both worked!) Lots of helpful extras included that make it more of a home away from home, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dishwashing liquid, hand soaps, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, quality towels and linens, beach towels, dog waste bags, dog bowls, and coffee pods. The owners obviously want to make you feel welcome, and they succeed. :) The property manager is quick to respond (we didn't have any problems, just a question or two.) On our neighborhood walks with the dog we especially enjoyed the small city park with its pier overlooking the ICW located diagonally across the street from this home. We enjoyed our weekend getaway in this gem and look forward to returning. ##### Lynn R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise K.
