Updated and very close to the beach

As others have stated, communication with the owners was fantastic. They really went the extra mile to make sure everything was right with the property and we’re also very helpful in offering local suggestions for eating and entertainment. Location is on the north end of golf Boulevard which is quieter and less crowded. Very easy access to the beach, maybe a half a block or less. Great view of fireworks at Clayton‘s from the deck porch on top on Friday and Saturday nights.

Fantastic beach getaway!

My husband and I brought our 5 and 2 year old boys with us as well as my mother. The house was so nice and clean with great upgrades. We loved that there were 2 bedrooms so everyone could have their space. We were able to bake pizzas in the oven and heat up other items in the microwave when not out to eat. It was a nice surprise to see the place already had extra portable chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards & sand toys for us to use as well. The walk to the beach from the house is so close, so that was very convenient. You can't beat the price for the location and how nice the house is...We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place

Our stay here was fantastic. The location is perfect. It is on the corner of the street directly across from beach access, so it's only a 5 min walk, and there is also a small corner store down the street for ice, drinks and snacks if needed. There is a small view of the ocean from the balcony and living room window. The place was just as shown in the pics. Clean and well kept inside with plenty of towels to use for showering, as well as towels for the beach. They also have beach chairs, umbrellas and toys to use as well. There are smart TVs, loaded with almost every streaming app, in every room along with free wifi to use so just use your existing login info to use whichever service u may already have. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to stay and would definitely book it again in the future.

Bad communication

Owner sold property days before our arrival. Had to cancel and rebook at higher rate due to new ownership. New Owner was staying in room we rented, so we were downstairs first night because of this even though we had booked upstairs (larger place). So had to move upstairs next day when they finally left. Was being charged for upstairs entire time. Got charged cleaning fee for downstairs even though was the Owners mistake. Was picking up owners child's toys which were blowing in street and Owner acts as though I am stealing his dollar store toys. (Those are my kids toys...) yeah I know I was picking them up out of the street. But no thank you or anything. Oh well..... Loved the island, but will book elsewhere next time. Hassle not worth time and money spent on this place.

One of my favorite places to stay! This is the second time we’ve stayed here. The location is close to beach access and on a corner with good views. The layout is perfect for family or friends. Room for many yet still cozy for a few.
