It was nice for a short stay. Plenty of areas to potty dogs. Loved the screened in porch.

We stayed here for a quick couple’s trip. For the most part, the place was OK - but be prepared to bring some of your own amenities. There wasn’t a broom to sweep up any sand that was tracked in, no dishwasher pods, no basic seasonings in the kitchen, and there weren’t enough towels/ washcloths for the 4 of us to use without having to run them several times through the washing machine. We found several strands of black hair in both bathrooms (no one on the trip has black hair), and there was a food wrapper/ dirty socks left behind in the master bedroom that did not belong to us. The location was nice, though. There were several great fishing spots very close to the house, the neighbors were quiet, and it was only a 10 minute drive to the beach. For the price, it was OK, but we probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Easy to check in, clean and spacious. Only had one issue, the power was going out every 10 min on our second day but we weren’t there for a majority of the day and by the time we got back that night it had resolved. Other than that, everything was nice.
