Birthday Getaway
5 / 5 Excellent
The pictures and description of the property amenities were right on target. 4 bedrooms and a great room that can easily accommodate a large family. Karaoke, beach, pumpkin patch and tons of fun! We had a few logistics questions for the property manager and he responded right away. Already planning for a follow up visit in 2022.

Great location
5 / 5 Excellent
We booked based on previous reviews and they're all acurate: location is steps to the beach, there are stairs but not bad at all. Kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of beach chairs to bring on the beach. The balcony ocean view was gorgeous and there are plenty of linens.
There are 2 pack and plays in the closet. It's a bit old but we wiped it down and made it cozy for our 1 yr old who slept well both nights. The only thing we couldn't find and wish the house had were kitchen scissors. The fridge was nice and clean and had filtered water so we didn't feel bad forgetting the our waters. We were able to fill up our hydroflasks before heading down to the beach every time.
Don't forget to bring beach towels, coffee (there is a Kuerig and Mr. Coffee machine), plastic wrap or ziplocks and foil to wrap and store your leftovers.
It is a gated community and check in was seamless. It's also a great area to walk around and enjoy the breeze.
The host, AL was very responsive and friendly. My 4 yr old got teary eyed when we were leaving which means, we'll be back!
