Great house, can’t beat the location!

We were looking for a place where we didn’t have to cross over the busy main street to get to the beach (as we would have had to do if we had stayed closer to the main area with all the hotels and condos) and a place with a great, unobstructed view. For about 10 minutes further down, we had a gorgeous view and were RIGHT on the beach with minimal foot traffic (I assume it was a private beach for those who own houses along that area). The house was super cute and clean, had all the basic necessities for a comfortable stay and check-in was a breeze. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!

BASICALLY ON THE BEACH

GPS gets the location wrong and you actually have to drive on to the sand/beach to get to the house. Thankfully we all had 4 wheel drive vehicle's! Lock box code and entry is not made clear and when i called management i was told opposite of what actually worked. Door is key entry and doesnt work well. Glass all over the walkway under the house. Fans dont all work properly nor do lights. Thankfully there are fans as you can only set AC to 70. Shower caddy fell on my daughter. Nice TVs. Beds are good but pillows are not. Nice furniture and kitchen. Well enough for what we needed (prom) but will not rent again.

Nice covered porch

Good location, easy to walk across the sand road to the beach. There is about 200 yards of drive on public beach directly in front of the house.Great covered patio. Easy check in/out with key and lockbox.

The house was a good size for 5 adults. The kitchen's large size made it easy to have multiple people cooking and preparing. It also had all of the essentials. There was plenty of seating both the kitchen and living room. The view was great.
