Everything about our weekend trip was great— the house was very clean and well-appointed and the proximity to the beach was incredible. There was an issue with the keypad upon our arrival, but management couldn’t have been more courteous or helpful when I called (sometime after 8pm). I definitely recommend Shenanigans, particularly for large groups or families.

The house is great and the location is in an area of the beach that had a fair bit less traffic. We would definitely book this house again. The host agency is very attentive. The only issue, which didn't really affect us, was that the code for the door didn't work. They provided a key, which was fine.

This is the second time we have stayed at Shenanigans. We had a great time! The cargo lift was a definite plus. The hot tub is nice, but takes up a lot of space on the deck. We have stayed at Flamingo, and Serenity, twice. We will be back.

This is the second time we've stayed here and love it. The house is very spacious and clean. The location couldn't be any closer to the beach. The two separate living areas is nice, and the second refrigerator is a huge plus. We would stay here again!
