Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful time staying at this house! It is so clean, updated, and welcoming that we could truly feel that we were being trusted with someone's well loved and very well maintained home. The bedrooms are a generous size and more than comfortably slept our family of 4\. Extras like kayaks and beach badges in a very nautical themed home and back yard made it feel like a resort steps away from the beach and restaurants. We highly reccomend this property and these amazing hosts! ##### Briana O.
