Reviews

Comfortable home, easy walk to the beach
5/5 stars
We were very comfortable in this house (5 adults) and enjoyed the many screened porches and decks, especially the direct access to the fenced in yard off the porch, easy for letting the dogs in and out. It is a quick 5 minute walk to the beach access, and we loved the easy access to the bridge across the marsh too. Huge kitchen where we cooked a lot of seafood!

4/5 stars
We enjoyed the beach house. Loved the open space. The gift bag was a nice touch. We do have a few suggestions for the benefit of your future tenants. We understand their is a new owner and thought this would be helpful. 1. Need new frying pans, all were deteriorated. 2. Window blinds were inoperable in most room (could not open and close). 3. Blinds need to be put on the window and door in the area where the bunk beds are. 4. Toilet seats in bedroom baths need to be replaced. 5. The A/C unit capacity was limited. We set at 69 but it never went below 73. 6. The water hose downstairs needs to be replaced. Overall, it was a very nice place and we enjoyed our stay.
