Enjoy a newly renovated and thoughtfully equipped kitchen to prepare your family’s favorite vacation meals that can be served at the five-seat kitchen counter or two dining tables. As the day ends, sink into comfortable seating to watch a favorite show on the large screen TV, or enjoy breathtaking views from the wraparound decks.

A little dated, but perfect location
When we arrived (missed 4 days due to hurricane evacuation the day of our arrival) the house looked like it hadn't been cleaned at all. In the middle of a pandemic this was crazy. Food in the sink, no floors had been swept, poop on the toilet, just to name a few things. It was late so the following morning my husband went to the realty office. They were appalled and sent a cleaning crew over for us. This was greatly appreciated but shouldn't have had to happen. The house itself is in a great location and the porches are AMAZING. Elevator was nice for carting stuff upstairs although 2nd floor door where you need to take groceries was locked and you couldn't get out. House is pretty dated but worked for a place to sleep. Oh, and the dryer doesn't shut off. Would definitely rent from the realty company again but not the same house.
