Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Definitely a happy place! The house was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking and bedrooms had plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The beach toys and chairs were amazing! Sooooo many to choose from and they were good quality. Fenced yard was perfect for the dogs! ##### Mary G.
