Everything in the home was just perfect for our family. We brought our small dogs and they were very comfortable too. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of linens and bedding. The beach access is a very short walk from the home. Restauraunts and convenience stores are a short drive and we were able to schedule Walmart delivery for groceries. We always make sure to get our own extra paper products when travelling so I didn't notice any lack of those as mentioned in other reviews. Check was effortless. This was the perfect place for our very low key relaxing week away. I would recommend to anyone.

The house was cute, if rather shabby for the price. Also, be prepared to bring your own toilet paper and trash bags if you are staying more than a couple of nights. The toilet paper rolls had less than half the paper on each (single ply of course). There was also only 1 kitchen size trash bag supplied for the whole stay. Trying to talk to Bender Realty about these issues was like pulling teeth. The text messages were rude and unnecessary, especially for how much we paid for this location. FYI, toilet paper at the nearest shop to the house was 14 for 4 rolls.

Perfect Space for Us

We had a wonderful visit at The BeeHive. We were able to check in early, which was great after traveling 6 hours with young kids. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. We did make the decision to leave a day early because of the storm moving in but check out was very easy too. Would definitely revisit. Very cozy.

Long Weekend

We stayed at the B Hive for a long weekend at the beach. The house was just as advertised. It was perfect for the four of us. Plenty of room, very clean, and easy beach access. The porch was a nice place to relax and enjoy a peek-a-boo view of the ocean.

Great short weekend.

Cottage was perfect for our age group and short stay. Cottage was exceptionally clean and the best stocked kitchen of any property that we’ve stayed in. Cooking spices, olive oil, cooking spray, foil, plastic wrap and a variety of pots and pans were readily available. An abundance of towels, extra pillows and blankets were also available for our use. The B Hive was one of the best properties we have ever stayed in!!! Thank you!!!

Cute house but definitely some fixable issues

Six family members, ranging in age from 54 to 84 stayed here and overall it is a pleasant house, clean and a decent layout for 3 couples. I struggled with the check-in process and communication with the property management, Bender Realty. They were frustrating and difficult to work with when I requested that my brother and his wife needed to check-in and get the keys instead of me, since I would still be on a plane. They repeatedly asked if we were over 25, even after providing a photo of my driver's license (I am 54). We were not underage frat boys partying on spring break, we are mature adults who were there for a local friend's wedding. Some notes about the house: All 3 mattresses were saggy and uncomfortable. Two small rolls of toilet paper were not enough for 6 adults and 6 days. I did read in the notes after I booked that you need to bring your own toilet paper and soap as only a small amount is supplied, but all 3 hand soap dispensers (2 bathrooms, kitchen) had only 1/2" of soap and the kitchen one was heavily watered down so we got 2 hand washes and were out. There were no beach towels though it was noted they were located in the linen closet (which was locked). The ice maker was broken, the bathroom door lock was broken, and one of the deck chairs had a slat that crumbled when my sister-in-law sat on it. The whole house shakes when anyone walks around, the house is on stilts but for instance the TV and lamps shake if anyone is moving.
