A Favorite Getaway

Property owner is a “10” and a pleasure to rent from. Property is simple but more than adequate for two senior citizens ages 81 & 78 and their pet dog Joy. Our second year to spend a week each time and this year was even better than the first. Excellent location. Health permitting, we hope to return.

Cozy stay overall

The house was perfect for the two of us, who came to do an overnight job in the area. The only issues were that we ran out of trash bags during our ostay and in the daytime, we had trouble sleeping due to the active construction going on next door. However, it’s close to the beach and all the stores you’ll need are within walking distance.

Great winter getaway

The property is as advertised, and is within walking distance of several good restaurants and a beautiful beach. I don't want to sound too picky, but the beds were not very comfortable However, for the total package, it the deserves a 4.
