Coastal Bliss

Gorgeous views and comfy beds made for a perfect getaway! Only downside was the flavored coffee but really, that’s not much to complain about. Will for sure keep this property in my favorites.

Roof work

While the space was beautiful, the workers on the roof were so loud that we were unable to stay and enjoy the home. When we were leaving on Tuesday morning, debris was falling by our car.While the workers were polite and just doing their job, the management company should have alerted us to the inconvenience ahead of our booking. We are asking for a 50 percent refund as we were unable to stay in the home during the day.

Wonderful beach vacation

My family and I really enjoyed staying in this beach house. The location was fabulous! My grandson especially enjoyed the beach and playing in the surf. We saw dolphins, sea otters, pelicans, sand pipers, just to name a few sea dwellers! Would definitely recommend this townhouse for a family vacation.
