Relaxing

The house is small and is perfect for me and a friend. We were able to have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Cozy and clean little house. My Full size 4 door F150 and trailer and UTV had no problems fitting in the carport. Plenty of sitting options on the decks. Love the hammock swings! Neighbors weren't too noisy, short drive to the beach on the UTV. Definitely recommended for a couple with a couple of children or two couples. A bonus for me was the fenced-in yard for my fur baby. I would like to have had a box fan provided but thankfully I brought one to help me sleep and drown out any noise. I would return and stay here over and over! Lovely home!

Wasted my hard earned money and my time

The house did not include hammocks as listed nor wood for fire pit the bedding was not clean on the top bunk .. there are hardly pots to cook with… the oven is close to the kitchen counter so it’s hard to cook out of safely… there’s not many towels or rags considering your on a beach property and likely to shower more often … last but not least … the neighbors were singing so loud and cussing so loud vulgar language during their outdoor karaoke right next to the house I rented I could not enjoy my stay which was a honeymoon stay and ended up a nightmare I couldn’t even enjoy being outside to see the fireworks that took place due to the neighbors I would not recommend although it is a cute home I would not recommend you waste your time or money I spoke with the owner she said she could not help the way the neighbors Act which is understandable but I still would not recommend im scarred for life I’ll probably never look into a beach rental again unless the homes were spread apart further

Amazing beach house

The pictures do not do this place justice. It is emacilate, gorgeous and perfectly decorated. Fantastic. Every room had fans, comfortable beds, with secondary room having a double over double bunk with an additional double bed. TVs with Netflix, Hulu, etc. in BOTH bedrooms and the living room. Two beautiful bathrooms, tons of places for clothes and luggage, stocked kitchenware, coffee and pods,and my 16 year old daughter slept on the couch very comfortably. We stay in A-LOT of VRBO’s and this one ranks at the top. The pictures had me very underwhelmed… seriously, y’all should get better photos to show how awesome this place is. We weren’t worried since we were only going to be there for one night but I could have stand MUCH longer, it was that nice!!!

Fun and colorful getaway

Loved everything about the stay!!! Only recommendation would be for bigger pots and pans. I purchased a pasta strainer and left it there for future guests. Overall fun was had by all and would most definitely return.

Husband’s birthday getaway

This really is the perfect size beach house and perfect for a quick getaway. We absolutely loved the lounge deck level with the hammocks, it provided a peaceful break from the sun. The fully fenced in yard and deck is an awesome plus. The only thing it lacked was counter/table top space near grill but juggling food trays and plates really isn’t a big deal. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay

Charming Castaways

This getaway is clean and very up to date and stylish. We enjoyed a very relaxing stay here with our pups. The fenced in yard is a bonus. The beach is visible from the decks and a short stroll away. The breeze on the upper decks as you relax in the hammocks was wonderful!

Cute Home!

The place was perfect. We had trouble booking the home originally with VRBO but it worked out. It was nice to have the little fenced in yard for dogs. Nice floor plan and proximity to the beach...I loved the levels and the extra deck with the swings and hammock. We had a quick stay and didn't stay in the home much but it was all functional. We appreciate the extra waters, candy and koozies too!!
