Extremely clean and wonderful
I've stayed in quite a few vacation homes and this was by far the cleanest (hats off to the cleaning crew!) The location near my daughter was perfect and the view from the deck drew us outside daily to read and have beverages! We had a wonderful girls vacation.

Cute Beach Cottage
Great location, fantastic view, great for a weekend getaway. For a longer stay you will need some basics for cooking and your own towels. Parking is super tricky via the alley way but we would definitely return again.

Very nice area. View of the ocean. Property had a few inconvenient issues.
The property itself needs some tlc but was decorated very nice and was clean. It wasn’t until the end of the day on our first night when we tried using microwave. Blew a fuse. Took over 30 minutes to locate the fuse box.. after calling help desk to help find it and didn’t know where it was either Luckily I had packed a flashlight since it was outside behind a bush. . Needless to say that was a big inconvenience. Then it was shower time…… drain was clogged. Water doesn’t even drain at all. No tools in the place to try to fix ourselves either and after hunting around again.. in the morning when it was light outside … we found the plunger in shed. But that didn’t even help. No morning showers for anyone. Another follow up call to help desk to get someone to fix. So no showered Friday night or Saturday until we returned that evening. Looked like the drain was clogged with lots of hair.. they fixed but left the mess. Dirty footprints in bathroom, tub filthy due to the standing water and the tiny garbage can filled with gross hair. They could have cleaned up. Parking says 4 cars fit. We had only 2 luckily. Parking in front was taken by other houses. And the carport/driveway in back… not good for low profile cars. Very steep and angled… So overall… several frustrations .. good thing we spent our days on the beach.
