Pleasant!
The place was extremely clean and approachable. having our own pool and space was amazing. The walk to the beach is a little longer than expected. However, it was great to get a lot of walking in the warm weather. Thank you Jason! Great Job!

Perfect Getaway
My partner and I stayed for two nights with our two dogs. We were able to enjoy the whole property and loved that the pool was completely private. It was the perfect little getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We also appreciated that Jason and Denise were very communicative. Would highly recommend this property!

Clean, Convenient Location
We had an good experience staying at this property. The property was very clean, exactly as described, and met our expectations. The neighborhood is walkable and is a quick drive to restaurants and shops. Jason provided a water bowl and a cushion for our dog, which was very thoughtful, and there is a small turf area for dog potty breaks. The owner was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions for self-check-in and checkout, which made the process stress-free. I recommend this place to anyone traveling with pets or looking for a clean and convenient vacation rental!
