Amazing location, could use some beach towels and chairs but not a deal breaker. Best part of the island IMO is the area this home is in. Would rent again!

Great Property, Great Location

Wife and I spent the weekend here in February. The property is nice, you are on the first floor of a 2 story house. The hot tub was a great touch. The location is also amazing, you are at the end of the street and right next to beach access.

Fantastic location, would return

The location and hot tub were perfect. We had 6 adults and 2 kids so it was definitely cozy. Only thing I would change would be adding another shower. One was challenging for our group.

Beachfront Basement

Right on the beach behind a large sand dune so no beach views. Arrived and immediately found minor damages to the property. Nothing that interfered with our stay. Overall location was great for beach access. Cute and cozy basement apt. Would definitely recommend for beachfront stay. Just note no beachview fromthe apt.apt.

Property had baby cockroaches all over the couch and living room. We had to move to another property as we couldn’t sleep there. While the rental agent was helpful in getting us another place to stay, they listed the property the next day as available instead of getting it treated for the roaches. It says it sleeps 10 bit does not- only sleeps 8 in beds. The other 2 sleep on the couch- it is not a sleeper sofa. But if you slept on the couch you were sleeping with the baby cockroaches. Pictures make rooms look a lot bigger than it really is

A mixed bag

I'll start with the positives. 1. The location is right on the beach. It's an easy 30yard walk from the front door over the dune bridge and onto the beach. 2. The furniture and beds are all very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with all of the dishes you will need. 3. The back deck area is great. Lots of space for you and your group to hang out and the hot tub and grill were both excellent. 4. There is a water hose attached to the house that was great for rinsing off before heading back inside from the beach. 5.The house is so close to all of the bars, restaurants, and shops that you will barely need to drive during your stay. now let's get into the negatives. 1. This is the lower level of a 2 story house. This listing does not make this clear enough. There will be another group above you in the upstairs portion of the house. My group was surprised to find this out on arrival and this needs to be made clear in the title of this listing. 2. "Sleeps 10" is being very generous. The two double beds are going to be tight for two people and sleeping ten includes two people on the couch or one on the couch and an air mattress. Sleeps 8 seems more accurate. 3.The ceilings are very low in this house. A member of our group was 6'5 and his head was nearly touching the ceiling in every room of the house. 4.As is mentioned in another review, you cannot see the beach from the deck. You can only see the dune. Overall a fine rental but certainly not as expected.
