Relaxing gateway! Pool/hot tub/elevator!
Great stay at TJ Bungalow! Neighborhood was a .4 mile easy walk to the beach. You can use the community pool, but such a plus to have your own pool and hot tub. Pool is shaded until 11am, huge plus for the grandparents. We loved that everything was organized (labels on light switches, ample hooks). Elevator was so helpful for us and transporting luggage/food. Only 5-10 minute drive to the grocery store, lighthouse, putt-putt and more! We loved this home!!

Great getaway!
We loved the property. We would love to visit again in the future. The home was lovely & very dog friendly. My husband is disabled with a bad back so the elevator was a godsend.

Great summer vacation
Great property! Clean and well appointed! The kitchen could use some new pans as teflon was scratched and peeling on most, but I realize that happens in rental properties. Kitchen could also use a bigger stock pot. Also should be in the listing that dogs are not allowed in the pool.

A Wonderful Property
This house is ideally located near the local beach and town of Co ralla. It was fully and beautifully furnished with comfortable beds, seating and dining. The small pool was nice and the larger community pool a short walk across the street and lovely too. Kitchen was fully stocked for all our baking and cooking needs. Loved our time there and would highly recommend!

Can’t wait to stay here again!
House was amazingly clean and had absolutely everything we could need or want. From the beach toys, pool toys, kitchen appliances and even board games. Everything was organized and labeled. The elevator was a life saver from my mom and elderly dog, and the baby gates at the stairs were great safety feature. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend this. We had a fabulous experience.

Overall decent stay
My family and I stayed during the week. The house is conveniently located to the beach and fun things. The house was clean but unfortunately the pool was not open and the hot tub had been removed prior to our stay. They credited us a bit for that. Pets allowed which was great for us as we have trouble finding places to allow our dog.
