Walk to beach

Great location-short walk to beach. Quiet, relaxing vacation area, not overrun with tourists. House was clean and very nice. Bring your own dish soap, laundry soap, and toilet paper if you are staying for more than a week As you will surely run out. Communicating with company is not like having an owner to help. Replies were automated and limited comprehension of what I was saying.

Unfortunate

While we enjoyed our stay things just weren’t the way they should’ve been. First the outdoor seating has mildew/mold, then the floor looked clean but made your feet black within 30 minutes, the ac wasn’t working properly and instead of communicating with me or updating me that someone would be entering the house they did so without even letting me know. The keurig needed to be descaled to work properly, the fridge needed a new filter. Things just started adding up one after the other. We did enjoy our visit just not our stay.

Good location and relaxing stay

I loved the cul-de-sac and the pool. The beach was close by and the house was perfect. The decorations were beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Good when the price is right

Short walk to the beach (1 block). The house had everything we needed at a great price. Not a ding on the property, but the banging/noise from the construction at the Toucan’s site was pretty annoying. Hopefully that will be over soon. There was also a card game in the house that is very inappropriate (sexually explicit/language) for children so keep that in mind if you’re bringing them. The internet didn’t work but luckily we brought our own.
