Amazing, outstanding
My daughter and I stayed at the beach house all week the last week in October. We found the beach house to be charming, clean, well stocked with necessities, washer and dryer, and all the amenities that you would have at home. The beach home was clean, easy to get you anf the parking was more than ample. Russell the coordinator was amazing. Highly recommend this beach house. Forgot to say that the beach was clean and within five minutes of the beach house. Awesome!

Great Location for pre-cruise stay.
Loved how close we were to some amazing restaurants (Willy's on the Pier and Sea Wall Cafe). Beach was beautiful and so close by. The house was exactly what we needed for our quick pre cruise stay. The owner was extremely quick to communicate with and provided a wonderful guide for the house and the area around. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks!!

Little Beach Gem
We absolutely loved staying at this beach cottage. It was quaint and simple. The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures advertised. The TV worked perfectly. Older comments mentioned a black line going through the screen -now the screen is perfect and the WiFi works perfectly too. The only tv is in the livingroom but this gives you a chance to not pine away in your bedroom when you have such beautiful views outside. The lawn was well manicured and the grass is soft to walk on barefooted. We will definitely be back. The location is perfect and close to the beach. The property owner is very responsive and responds quickly. I am so glad we found this place.

Quaint cottage near beach
Nice quiet neighborhood, 5 minute walk to beach. Home is small but comfortable. The cowboy pool was a nice extra after a walk on the beach. The place was clean and decorated nicely. A perfect getaway for our anniversay. The owners accept well behaved pets. Owners are helpful and considerate.and respectful of privacy.

Do not stay here
The property is in bad shape. Tv had a black bar across it. There was mold and smashed bug guts on the wall. Broken blinds on the windows. Multiple soft spots in the floor to the point it felt unsafe. Flooring held down with duct tape. Multiple trip hazards due to the state of the flooring in the house. Multiple stains on pillows, throw blankets in the living room. Had bees swarming on the deck around the cowboy pool. Spent 1 night and left (was supposed to stay 4) I sent pictures to host and the only response I got was to contact my insurance about a refund. Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

Beach was great, house was disappointing
The house itself was a great beach house. However, coffee maker didn’t work, outlets didn’t work, tv had a big black line through it, numerous dishes were found dirty and the neighborhood at night was a bit scary.

Mixed experience with safety and cleanliness concerns.
My family and I recently spent a night at this property and had mixed feelings about our stay. The Positive: • Location: The beach is essentially an extension of the backyard, making for an excellent seaside experience. • Neighborhood: The area is quiet and appears very safe. • Check-in Process: Checking in was easy, and the property manager was always accessible and quick to respond. The Negative: • Property Condition: The property seems to be in disrepair. While the TV worked, it was broken and had a line running through it. • Size: The property is small, which is clearly stated in the listing. • Safety Concerns: There were multiple soft spots and holes in the floor, especially in the bathroom and bedrooms, which felt unsafe. • Pest Issue: We encountered several cockroaches inside the home, as well as on and inside the porch furniture. Although this is a tropical climate, seeing numerous cockroaches during a one-night stay is concerning. Overall, I would not stay here again. The unsafe soft spots in the floor need immediate attention, and more measures should be taken to address the cockroach problem before renting out this property again.

We had a great time and loved the location. The house is a little "cozier" than it appeared but we spent a lot of time on the beach and sight seeing, so it was fine. We enjoyed the "Cowboy Pool" and it was nice having the grill and the firepit.

Not bad, but not having decent beds made the stay tough. Few areas a little dirty, shower was pluged up due to tons of hair - ugh! Outside decks, cold pool and firepit were amazing.

Repairs were needed before we got there
Location was great. However, when we got there we noticed the side chair in living room was broken, a large decorative clock in primary bedroom had fallen off the wall and was just laying on the floor, the handle to the fridge was almost falling off, the fridge pooled water on the interior requiring constant cleaning, (we kept all of all beverages in a yeti outside, so this did not cause the issue) the vinyl plank flooring had a large piece broken off and just placed over the hole, (extreme tripping hazard for young and old) the subfloor was weak in many places and caused the home to feel unlevel, the bed frame in the primary bedroom was broken causing the bed to list drastically to one side making it extremely difficult to sleep, the mattresses in the bunk room were extremely thin and much like sleeping on the floor. The decks were nice to hang out on however, due to trash bins at the home and the neighbors home being full, flies made it difficult to enjoy these areas. The beach was not crowded and very clean. We enjoyed the home but would have liked a restful night’s sleep and would have liked the fridge to have been working properly and not require constant upkeep.

Great location
The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It is very small and one bathroom can be challenging with 9 people, but overall it was great. The furniture and appliances had minor broken pieces/issues but nothing that kept us from enjoying our time there. The small pool on the deck was perfect for our kids to enjoy, and the very short walk to the beach made everything worth it!!
