Great location for the price. Easy 2 minute walk to the beach over a boardwalk. We had 7 people which felt about right for the space. No soap/shampoo provided and some of the furnishings are not in great condition, but again it is a bargain price that close to the beach. Nice grill available, but bring your own burger flipper!

The first misleading information is this being 'beachfront'. The only filter I had checked was 'beachfront' (beacuse that was my only requirement) and this property is three houses deep from the beach. No beach views, but a nice view of the highway if that's what's your looking for. Maides were there 30 minutes after check in time still cleaning, shower was very moldy, not all burners on the stove worked, roaches in the dishwasher, the bunk beds are great if you want to be woken up evertime you make any type of movement (super loud), refridgerator was unplugged (that was a fun one to figure out), door hadle came off the front door, and DO NOT DRINK THE WATER (however, how would we know that? It's handwritten on a piece of paper above the thermostat but then covered up by the WIFI password, so we found out the last day when that piece of paper fell down; water filter on kitchen sink sid not work. Overall, due to the fact that this plavce is listed as beachfron on the filter search, I would not recommend if that is important to you (and it was me as we were travelling with someone who is unable to walk to the beach). So I basically wasted 1,000 for a beach house for two nights that was not what it was advirtised for. On the plus side, the owner or manager did message back when I contacted her.

The pictures don't do it justice. It's on the corner with several parking spots underneath and a couple on the driveway. There's a fenced in area for dogs next to the driveway. The house has a nice front balcony and a little one off the main room. The rooms are nice with two full bathrooms. It was much nicer than we expected. We would stay here again.

No as Depicted

The pictures of the property obviously taken some time ago, long ago! The toilet would not shut off and I had to turn the water off at the wall. The property was so overgrown I doubt I could find a dog in the so called “fenced” yard that was missing numerous boards. One bedroom had a hole in the wall.

Cute and comfy

We enjoyed our stay. Very close to the beach. Good views for 3rd row! Didn’t use the kitchen. Typical beach house wear n’ tear; however, the water filtration system works well (no odor) Remodeled areas are very nice. Front stairs don’t have a landing so avoid heavy luggage. And the price was great.

Not great

There is no water. Not enough water pressure to take a shower or make coffee. It took over 30mins to fill the coffee pot with water. There is certainly not enough to do more than 1 task at a a time AND you have to wait in between tasks for it to build up pressure again. Having to wash the towels and linens and run the dishwasher is ridiculous given the lack of available water and also unreasonable with the 10am checkout time. Would not stay here again because of the water and laundry issues. The rest was fine.
