Two Blocks from the Beach

If you're going to the beach, this is the perfect place. Spacious deck and pet friendly. My only issues were the ants in the kitchen and inconsistent wifi.

Nice spot for a walk to the beach!

We loved being at this rental! It was close enough to walk to the beach or any of the shops and local restaurants. It was very clean when we got there and comfortable to stay in. It is a duplex, so we had neighbors while we were there but we couldn’t hear them really. Overall we would stay again!

It was ok

Pros: This proper was close and convenient to a lot of places. It’s only about 2 blocks from the beach. Walking distance to Sunliner Diner which has great breakfasts, as well as other restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet that a Vrbo offers. Cons: the living room furniture was worn out - especially the chairs. There’s little to no cushion left in the seat cushions. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. It was so soft, that our back, hips and arms hurt at night and all day. We probably wouldn’t stay there again for these reasons. I never had any idea about all the extra charges till we went to book the property so it was far more expensive than we expected. But nonetheless, we did book it.

2024 Shrimp Festival

Property is in a great location. We walked to the Shrimp Festival every day. Only problem we had in our stay was 1 TV remote for 2 TV's. Not fun taking remote back and forth. Everything else was great. Will stay here again.
