Beach Getaway
Overall we had a nice stay! House is cute and comfortable. Needs a good deep cleaning. Furniture was already covered in sand upon arrival and dishes were dirty when you pulled them out to use. It would be nice to have a little hand vacuum to clean the cushions with. Beach access is quite a hike to walk with wagon/kids so you will have to drive. Listing does not show new condos directly behind you which makes it awkward to access the lagoon area as you feel you’re infringing on their space. Communication was spot on, check in was easy, and it’s a great quieter safe spot which I guess is what you get versus closeness to the beach entrance. Overall not a bad stay! Probably wouldn’t choose this one again but you get what you pay for and it slept the 4 of us just fine!

Our review
Overall we were very pleased. Our main complaint was with lighting. We never did find a way to turn on light over kitchen table so we were unable to play the board games and cards we brought at it after dark. Some table lamps didn't turn on.Many outlets seemed to have no power to them so we had to try several before finding ones that would charge our phone. The construction was unexpected but we were okay with that. The construction manager saw us outside and apologized for the fact that we had to have that going on . He was very nice. Mostly we had a great time!

This was a good size house for a small family. Plenty of kitchen utensils and pots and pans to be able to cook at home without going out every night. Very well priced too.

Wonderful
Was looking for a little less expensive place to stay so I could take my children to the beach for their first time. This was a wonderful option. There were things I would’ve liked to have better, mainly the shower, but it’s all little things and I didn’t have the highest expections for those things. It was wonderful, in a great spot, and had easy access to the beach and that’s all I care/cared about. It was a nice little house and would be more then happy to stay there again. Not that it’s in a bad area or anything, it do make sure you keep your doors locked. Wrangling kids after a later night we forgot, and the guy next to us had cash stolen out of his vehicle, I had a gun stolen, and I’m pretty sure several other peoples vehicles had been gone through around us. The AC wasn’t the best, it got hot during the day, but again really not that big of deal to me and what I was looking for. Overall it was a wonderful place, had everything thing we needed, and had an absolute blast. Met the owners of the place to while we were there and they were incredible as well and super nice.

Perfect Vacation Spot!
Great location. Close to everything yet still secluded enough to make for a very relaxing and peaceful vacation. It was amazing having quick access to both the bay and the beach. We can’t wait to come back!

Overall fantastic, just a few issues
The patio and place were so cute and it was extremely comfortable! We absolutely loved the deck view overlooking the water and it was just a quick walk to the beach! As for what was included within, there were 5 listed to stay for 4 nights and all we received were two rolls of toilet paper and two trash bags. For that many people and that many days it's just not going to be enough. This place can sleep up to 8 and at $1800 for our stay, we would have thought a couple more rolls as well as some basic items like salt/pepper and sugar would be included. Plenty of kitchen utensils and cookware.

Absolutely loved it! Great location, nice clean space, close to the water, family really enjoyed it!
We were able to check in early cause of off season. When we went inside it was clean and fully stocked with everything we would need, sitting area underneath was pretty neat. Walk out to the lagoon was nice and had a picnic table, kids was catching hermit crabs out of the water, on the other side of the home was a really short distance to the ocean, literally only took 2 min to be in the ocean water! Wasn't too far from any of the attractions either, very convenient location...we would definitely enjoy spending more time here at this home :)
