Great proximity to the beach — one minute walk — there’s new construction going on right next-door that wasn’t in the picture — bedding should be higher quality — no fitted sheet in master bdrm — needed more linens and there was no kitchen table which we knew about — there also was no grill like in the picture — we could nitpick over a few other things, but overall we enjoyed our stay

THE PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS HOME JUSTICE ! Clean and fresh is the best way to describe this home. Close to the beach is an understatement, it is literally one short block away and is easily seen and enjoyed from the front deck. We bought aluminum foil while there and nothing else because everything was provided!! I would rent this home again. The only draw back was that there is no table to sit at with a family, young ones can not sit on the bar stools as they have no back supports and the child’s table is across the room from the rest of the family at meal times. But it wouldn’t stop me from renting here again !!
