Super cute inside but a little rough outside
Got to house late and code did not work. Door unit was just “screaming” and flashing red. Could not figure out how to get ahold of anyone for a while. All numbers were Vrbo contacts and it was after hours and no one was monitoring. Finally found another number listed deep and the manager finally answered. We had to go find the hidden key and use the back door all weekend. Backyard was kinda trashy. Otherwise, the house was good inside. Huge kitchen space! Convenient location to everything. Minor stuff and I would easily stay here again.

We had a super few days away from home! Had a great time at the beach and found Crockett Park to take our grandson who was visiting to. The home was exactly as advertised, very homey and very clean. Communication with the host was also excellent. Overall, we had a fantastic, time!

Cute House
This was a weekend trip to celebrate my son's 18th birthday. This house was very cute and was in a quiet area. It was really cool to see the community come out and watch a movie across the street on Friday night.

Great experience
Honestly this was an amazing trip. First the house is located in a great area where everything is close from grocery shopping to the ER, so everything is very convenient. Also, the beach is like 2-3 blocks away from house, so we could go anytime we wanted to enjoy a relaxing time. For a family of four this is a great, warm, and safe place to stay, would definitely book again!!

Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, the home was in pristine condition, exactly like the pictures show. The owners left several courteous essentials, making us feel right at home. Only a 7 minute drive from the beach we were all very happy with our stay, highly recommended.

Definitely WOULD recommend 10/10
Awesome experience! The house is super cozy and so beautiful. They have absolutely EVERYTHING you would need in a home. Had a little hiccup (because of myself) and owner was EXTREMELY PATIENT AND HELPFUL! My two oldest kids played UNO all weekend lol and there was toys for my 3 yr old to play with. The neighbors are a little obnoxious, but if you just ignore them and continue to enjoy yourself, it's nothing too bad. Only other thing is the bed in the master bedroom needs a box spring. I believe it's on just slats going across the bed frame and the mattress is too big for the frame trying to hold it up, so it hangs off at the foot of the bed. My husband and I had to move the mattress into the living room floor for the last night we stayed because it was just too uncomfortable 😣. Over all, 10/10 definitely 😁
