The house was perfect for my family. Easy walk to the beach for young and old. We really enjoyed the screened in porch. Everyone at Better Beach Rentals was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this house

Blue Heron house

This property is about a block from the beach which was great. The main porch off the living room was also nice to have. Things we did not like. Unfortunately, it’s not until a few days before that they tell you that there’s a possibility you will not be able to check in until 6 PM, even though VRBO says 4pm. The rental company also requires guests to make all beds when you get to the property, which we have never had to do. Also, we had numerous challenges with the keypad on the house and had to call maintenance several times. The code they gave did not work several times.
