Great location!

Perfect location - close to both downtown and the beach. Visited with our 3 and 5 year old and it worked perfectly for us. Would choose this house again!

Very nice location, and accurate to listing. We like to cook, so small kitchen was a challenge.

Very nice accommodations. Small kitchen, and would have been nice to have some sort of hammock on outside patio. I would rent the space again. Thank you

Excellent home with fine location

Everything was very clean with many extras -- garage has beach chairs, children's beach toys, grill, fire pit, and a well-equipped kitchen. The South Beach is just 3 1/2 blocks away; 5-6 blocks to downtown; quiet attractive neighborhood. We rented excellent bikes from Rock and Road and had terrific biking on great rail to trail trails readily accessible.

First and probably last rental with VRBO

Moved to a different property due to roof leaks. Second property not ready for guests. No internet TV, mold in bathtub and ants in bedroom. Water pipe replacement in street prior to arrival meant dug up road and cones everywhere. Had to let water run every time a tap turned on to remove brown water. Property management company were as helpful and communicative as possible however. Despite this it’s certainly put me off ever renting again.
