Great spot for our MG stay!
We came in for Mardi Gras and loved our stay above the surf shack. I didn't remember reading in the listing that this was a duplex, so we accidentally walked into the neighbors house when we arrived late Thursday night and almost let their dog out😬.
The layout is shotgun style, as mentioned, so you do have to go through all the rooms den/bedroom/living to access the bathroom and kitchen. Which wasn’t really an issue for us because it was a group of 4 girls and we’re all very close, but wouldn’t probably be the best set up if you’re traveling as couples.
The pull-out couch is in the room between the bedroom and kitchen/bath so if you are using that for sleeping just know there will be traffic to get to those rooms.
You could put the provided air mattress in the front room, but there aren’t drapes to cover the windows & door in the front room so not much privacy and would be super bright in morning. I think if the property owner put a curtain rod up in there, it would make a great place to have as a sleeping area.
The back yard, patio area is super cute and huge. A great place to relax and enjoy a cocktail or beer with friends. The only complaint was that the neighbors dog had pooped several times so make sure and watch your step. I found out the hard way while looking for the trash bins as we were cleaning up and checking out.
Other than that the house, itself, was impeccable, great decor, comfortable bed, cool decor, and PHENOMENAL location.
Street parking was easy to find within a block of the house day or night, even during Mardi Gras.
Definitely would recommend for a girls trip or for a couple looking for a getaway.
