Really fun little house right on the beach
Great location. Not perfectly oceanfront, but close enough, meaning at least 90 degrees of view from the deck/windows is beach. Just walk through the little dune and you're there in 30 seconds. My daughter loved the little private-entrance room upstairs. Nice large bathroom situated between the two downstairs bedrooms. I loved the soft queen bed. A few complaints: the room with two twins could be arranged better. Fix it so that the head of each bed is against the wall rather than just having the beds sitting in the center of the room. In the upstairs bedroom, there was disintegrating fabric on the bottom of the upper bunk. Pieces like a foot and a half long are hanging into the space of the person sleeping below: not appealing. This needs to be fixed pronto. And while mostly the kitchen was well stocked with implements, there were only 4 spoons to eat with: two large and two small. And we made two kinds of soup!

Close to the beach
Loved our stay. House is close to beach which made our vacation wonderful. The sub flooring in some parts of the home felt softened due to water damage and a door to a closet was off the track but that was our only complaints and it did not stop us from enjoying our trip. I can imagine that the weather is hard on houses down there. House was clean and good price.

Great stay
Great location. Pedestrian beach only was great. Home states will sleep 8. Beds for 7. But nowhere else for guest #8. House has some flooring issues in guest bedroom and no dresser to put clothing. Overall great. Has lots of extras in home and for use at beach. Chairs. Canopies. Kites. Sandcastle items. Boogie boards.

First time ever we had a place so close to the beach, we could walk to it barefoot. 1 minute walk. Great deck with full clear view of beach/ocean. Would return to this house in a heartbeat.

Rentals Require Upkeep!
Ideal location; property takes the “it’s only a rental” mentality to an extreme. “Only fix it when you absolutely have to because profit is all that matters” isn’t very hospitable. So on vacation we got dirty a/c filter and algae buildup causing a serious water leak under the house. The doors and locks were confusing and the lockbox (1 of 2) was corroded and difficult to open and shut. Upstairs bedroom a/c unit is old and too loud for a restful night’s sleep, particularly since it’s 2 inches away from the top bunk. Gas grill was filthy and had been sitting under the house below the water leak. Washer and dryer under the house also sitting under the water leak, so useless. Dishes, small appliances are all garage sale items. Old dishwasher really loud, so don’t run it before going to bed. Very basic kitchen with electric range and small capacity fridg. The beach is public and the small street gets loaded with parked cars on the weekend.
