Lovely spot!
Lovely spot directly on the canals and across the (busy) street from the beach. Lots of restaurants, shops and movies nearby. The owners are very nice and thoughtful about the property. The property itself was a perfect beach rental - everything we needed, well though out and fun design aspects. We would return!

Avoid
Not clean, terrible kitchen supplies, old towels, cheap bedding, way too much deodorizer used throughout, dirty mismatched furniture, noise sensors and ring cameras everywhere. We are adults, a family with a teenager. We rent VRBOs all the time as our son has celiac disease and we like to have a kitchen when we travel. The kitchen was equipped for a college student, difficult to cook a meal. Wouldn’t recommend this rental and we rent often.

Great location and lots of things to do
Everything was really well organized and there was access to all the fun toys for the water. Sleeping situation isn't ideal, if there are couples, but as a group of girls it worked out fine! Felt a little like invasion of privacy that there are noise monitors and Ring cameras everywhere. Otherwise, great place and would recommend to others traveling to Huntington. Easy access to beach and the house it right on the canal.

Great 4th of july week end vacation!
We (six adults and one child) spent a 4th of July week end at this property and had a wonderful time. The place is as advertised, with two bunk beds and two additional beds in an alcove. I would say it's better suited for a group of six rather than eight given the number of bathrooms. The patio downstairs is shared with the other tenant, but that was never an issue. The location is really convenient, very close to Sunset Beach, with free access to kayaks and paddleboards for use in the canals. Both hosts were extremely nice and responsive and it was great to meet Mike and get a tour of the area in his boat. The two drawbacks were the lack of seating space in the living room (a bigger sofa would be nice) and the noise from the highway (not a major drawback for us). Would definitely stay here again!
