Property was very clean, management company was great!! Made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. ##### Jacqueline D. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa H. Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean house and great location We enjoyed the location of this house. It was very clean. The kitchen was not very well stocked but had the basics. The weekend we were there was pretty windy and the house rocked the whole time. It was a bit of an issue for one guest. The beds were comfortable, although it would be nice to have the beds made especially if we have to pay additional for linens. ##### Lisa H.

Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Beach Getaway The house was great. The location was perfect. My only complaint is that there were no cleaning supplies, except for a broom, and no hand soap in the bathrooms. So I had to buy those items. Also no curtains or blinds. Kind of creepy at night. lol Overall it was a wonderful trip my girls loved it and had the time of their life. ##### Stephanie B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John D. Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Weekend The good stuff: Nice cabin with a great location Lots of room Awesome view. The not so good: Grass has not been maintained and was high, mosquitoes ate us alive. AC struggled to keep the cabin cool and we didnt have any kids running in and out. It dropped 1 degree in 8 hours. Was 77 when we arrived at 1pm, immediately moved it to 70. At 9 pm it was 76. ##### John D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dawn K. Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving The house is amazing! It sits right on the beach and is modern with three bedrooms and three baths. The only problem was no soap in bathrooms and no cleaning supplies. There was Dawn dishwashing liquid but nothing else. No dishwasher detergent, bathroom cleaner either. The floors needed to be mopped with dust and sand. We managed to leave the place clean though. M ##### Dawn K.
