Nice single-story home with pretty backyard. The living room is great for gathering and talking. Kitchen is tremendously well stocked with tools and service sets. Feels like home. Check-in/out seamless, and great communication with management through text. ##### Doug B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Becky S. Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Musty smell, photos “enhanced”, fine location Walking in was a huge disappointment from what the pictures show. Sleeps 12 in beds, advertised as 14\. The house has a moisture problem, so unless someone empties the dehumidifier every day, the musty smell permeates everything. Ample outdoor space, it’s an 80s house. The kitchen has the necessary, and after I dug around in the jam-packed, cluttered cupboards, I found what I needed. Tons of baking things, but no tea pot. It’s an older with an older kitchen. in the beds. ##### Becky S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott C.

Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### craig H. Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location!!!! Beds were decent, kitchen is usable, washer and dryer are in kitchen. No hand rails on any of the steps leading into the property, which wouldn't have been a problem it I hadn't injured myself having fun at the beach. Bathrooms are nice, couches in family room are worn out, only basic roku channels on tv so no local channels or sports. The gas grill ran out of propane and it took 48 hours to have a new one delivered. Would I stay there again,,, yes! At this price point for the size and location it's great. ##### craig H. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean D. Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall everything was great. The ice maker needs to be repaired. Having it work would have been nice. It was an exceptional value! We were pleased. We had to repair a leak on the kitchen sink drain and we also cleaned a couple of spots (we did not make) on the carpet in one of the bedrooms. The arm on one of the living room chairs is also broken. It was hanging off the side of the chair when we arrived. ##### Dean D.
