Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Happy Days Great home!!!. Loved the layout, decor and supplies (from pots and pans to bikes and beach towels). Every need considered and addressed. Our family had a wonderful vacation in this home. Spent plenty of time on porch - lovely (check rope on 2 person swing). The only suggestion would be more pantry space for groceries. Would absolutely stay here again!!!

There are lot's of seating options on all the decks out side and the upper deck gives you a view of the ocean. It's such a great property! ##### Jennifer C. ### 8/10 Good #### lynn j. Sep 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and beautiful house but a hike to the beach We loved that our family of ten could spread out with the space. It was very tastefully decorated, clean, and well equipped. The garage/ basement was great with beach chairs, carts, boogie boards and especially, the extra washer and dryer. We did kill 3 Palmetto bugs but saw that the exterminator came while we were there. Our biggest complaint was that it was a hike to the beach for the cost of the house. And when we looked it up for next year, it looked like the cost was increasing by several thousand. ##### lynn j. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mallory S. Aug 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Early Dawn - Lovely! Two families shared this house for a week long stay.
