Charming, fun property that's well located

This nicely appointed bungalow has a fabulous interior decor that reflects on your beach proximity. The private pool was an awesome feature because we had tropical storm Alberto show up and stay for most of our visit making beachfront not an option. The place is totally as advertised with all amenities and more, and local host Paul was a great asset and very responsive. We will visit here again soon.

Great small house and pool. But view and location not good in my opinion. No ocean view.

This is a lovely property for two people. There are two bedrooms, but it is a small house. Location is walking distance to seawall, but there is no ocean view from house. pool is great and very private.

Perfect Getaway

At first, we had trouble entering the home. The owner was quick to respond and resolve the issue. The home was comforting with all essentials needed. The pool was a perfect addition to the home. We'll definitely come back!!!!

Perfect family vacation spot

We had the best time at this bungalow! We wanted to do a little beach vacation with our 3 year old before our 2nd baby arrives in August and it was the perfect house for that. Walking distance to the beach and Gaidos was awesome. Our favorite was the pool in the back, we loved it. Our toddler loved sleeping in the bunk bed and the full size bed for my husband and I was really comfortable. The neighborhood looks a little rough but we had no issues. The owner was quick to respond if we had an issues/questions. We will be coming back and highly recommend it! Perfect for a family of 3-4 wanting to get away for a few days.
