Beach Bliss

Overall it is a wonderful property! Ranked 4 out of 5 stars. It was a perfect location, steps from public access point. It had everything we needed. Loved the open floor plan and large table for meals and games. It was quiet and peaceful. There were some minor things that could be repaired or upgraded but nothing that would change our mind from staying there again. Thank you so much for providing accommodations for a great vacation. Memories that will last a lifetime.

Seaside shanty

We enjoyed our stay at this cute little place it was a wonderful location, literally right across from the beach super easy access! Town was very nice, quiet, definitely not a party town, perfect for a quiet family Vacation. As in previous reviews, the downstairs is still unusable, the smell is obviously due to a previous flood, this would have been 5 stars from us if the downstairs had been a usable space! Not sure how to get rid of that smell, but I still recommend this spot, the upstairs is completely fine and not smelly …
