The location is great, super clean and has all the amenities. ##### Meagan C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy H. Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house was wonderful for two friends and our four kids. The interior and exterior spaces are all fresh and nicely furnished. The kitchen was fully stocked with the basics plus a crockpot, air fryer, blender, and a kitchen aid mixer! The big island was great for meal prep and meals. We enjoyed every square inch of space and would absolutely return. The wagon, beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys were all put to good use. The walk to the beach is easy, about 7 minutes for our crew. The hose in the driveway and outdoor shower were both useful for cleaning off salt and sand before going back upstairs. We give this place 5 stars!!! ##### Amy H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### The W. Jul 3, 2025 ##### The W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brady B.

I made dinner every night as it was just my husband and I. They had everything I needed. Also a crockpot and air fryer. Right down the road from the big store. We were able to drive the golf cart on the beach to the next neighborhood and avoid getting out on the main highway to go to the grocery store! The house is very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again. ##### Nancy W. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda C.
