Great location

House is decent. Could use a little updating. The beds are comfortable. Place was clean and everything worked. This is a great location across the street from the public beach in a nice neighborhood. . There are sand chairs leftover out front but they are all broken. Not a big deal; owners should throw them away.

Decent location

A bit dated, close to beach, good value for the location. If you want 4 stars stay at the Hyatt. If you want a beach shack and ready to have fun it’s a good location. Walkable to the circle and very close to beach.

Bring your quarters for the laundry!

Much to our surprise the washer/dryer were outside! They were coin operated! I don't recall the description stating this odd thing. We had no quarters and I would not use appliances that are outside!! The rule was that we were to leave the place clean; but we paid a cleaning fee. The queen bed had an odor to it. The air conditioning was great and the ceiling fans were a nice surprise. The water smelled and tasted bad but we bought bottled water so no problem.
