The beds were nice and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with. They also had lots of books, board games, and puzzles. It was just a perfect mix of things to do while on vacation. ##### Deanna M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anette O. Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Bad management Coastal vacation that manages this property is so bad. They raised the price after I booked and payed the full price on VRBO. Then they told us that if we wanted the house we had to pay the extra money or cancel and get our money back. This all happened 3 days before our trip so of course we paid because we wanted to go. Coasta vacations claims that VRBO had the wrong price. B-S. They also make you come and get a key, stoneage… ##### Anette O. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen E.

Great beach location for beach walks or road walk. Walk to lighthouse. 2 miles to restaurants and grocery. Great bicycling. Everything a cook would enjoy in the kitchen. It’s nice to have 2 king size beds available as well as queens and bunks. I love how contents of cupboards are photographed and labeled. ##### Karen E.

Dec 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas at the beach Wanda’s wish was an awesome home to rent it suited our family with an extra bed or two to spare. Location to stores and restaurants were a short drive away. The ocean was a short walk out the backdoor. The house it self has tons of space even with the 5th bedroom downstairs that you have to go outside to get was nice. If you want to most possible privacy pick that room for sure. Our experience here was good, I would like to say great but the router was out of commission so we couldn’t watch tv or use wifi. With the exception of missing some football games we wanted to watch, it helped out because conversation and board games came out. So almost every night was a game night for us, that’s something that hasn’t happened in a long time. The young lady who tried helping us from the emergency line did her best to get results. But being Christmas weekend we knew seeing any service trucks were slim to none. My wife and I are already planning our next visit. ##### James G.

Plenty of cooking utensils and dinner ware to for everyone. Rear porch and walk way was floored with composite decking which meant NO splinters in anyone's feet. House held up very well as Hurricane Isaias passed through while we were there. Our 9-month old great-grandson took his first step during our stay. Made for a great family vacation. ##### Sha L.
