Overall, the property was nice and a good value for the price. The bunk beds were a bit wobbly and could use tightening, as another guest had also mentioned in the guest book. The house also had an odor when we first arrived. We eventually got used to it, but we did purchase a few gel air fresheners to help. We also found a cockroach near the bunk beds and bought roach traps.The biggest issue during our stay was the washer and dryer. We successfully did a load of laundry on the first day, but during the second load we noticed a burning smell. When we went outside, we saw smoke coming from the washer. Thankfully we were there and acted quickly—I turned the washer off and unplugged it before it could become a fire hazard.As a result, we were without a washer and dryer for the remainder of our trip. We were also interrupted several times by plumbers and delivery personnel attempting to replace the washer, but they were ultimately unable to install a new one during our stay. The rental company did offer to let us drop off laundry, but the location was about 35 minutes away off the island, which wasn’t practical. We tried it once before deciding it wasn’t a workable solution. They did pickup and drop off the last day. Aside from the washer/dryer issue, the house was fine overall. There was nothing outstanding about it, but nothing else significantly wrong either. While we probably wouldn’t choose to rent this property again, we felt it was reasonably priced for what we paid.

Family Vacation

House was very cute. Clean and an old school beach cottage charm. Would love an outdoor shower with hot water option and a few better knives in the kitchen. Twin mattresses were fine but bigger beds could stand to upgrade, especially the room that shares the bathroom with the twin bedroom. Overall experience was great, especially if you do what we do, which is spend most of our time at the beach. Had family with houses nearby so beach access was not an issue for us. Would continue to visit with a few upgrades, especially the outdoor shower and beds.

Beautiful location!

This beach house has such a perfect location! Easy and quick access to the beach and the vintage/cottage theme of the actual house is so cute. Had a wonderful week with my family!

Easy going

This is a true beach cottage, best to expect rustic charm then fancy digs.

Good to get away

It was confusing and disappointing. I thought I was booking through VRBO but I was directed to an agency. The communication was not great. I was unaware of the pet fee at booking and it was misleading because it was not by owner as the name of the app implies. The agency was difficult to reach but we went to the office and were able to check in. The agent was polite and apologetic. We were given the wrong key for the washer and dryer but they sent someone to change the lock and were able to use the washer and dryer. The house itself is in need of some updating and repairs but was comfortable and we enjoyed the back porch. It was close to the beach and sound. I thought it was a bit overpriced for what it was but we really needed a vacation and there wasn’t much to choose from.
