"The location is great, a short walk to the beach. The building and rooms were adequate, but they could definitely use some maintenance and TLC. The close proximity to the beach makes up for a lot, but they really should put a little more effort into maintaining the building and updating the rooms. Just my honest opinion."

"Exquisite property and amenities. The decor was amazing and the pool was beautiful.With a house this size some things always need attention. I paid extra for use of the elevator and it didn’t work. Our planned grill out turned to hamburgers on the stove because the grill didn’t work. Our overall experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend this place to anyone searching for a large upscale venue for a get together"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach house! The hosts were amazing from the very beginning. From the moment we booked the property, they were extremely responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with anytime we had a question.The property was exactly as described and gave our entire family plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our stay. We especially loved having the beach access directly across the street, which made getting to and from the beach so convenient. The location was also fantastic—close to plenty of restaurants, attractions, and everything we wanted to enjoy during our trip.The game room and all of the games provided were a huge hit with our family! We also loved how well the property was designed for multiple families or groups. The game room and theater in the second house was very well soundproofed, you couldn’t hear the noise at all in the upstairs bedrooms.Another major plus was all of the beach amenities provided. They had beach towels and almost everything you could need for a day at the beach, which was such a thoughtful and convenient touch.We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend this property and these wonderful hosts!"

"This was a very nice place and very well stocked with kitchen items and beach towels. We went with 6 couples and everyone had their own suite and bathroom. We loved the pool area and it was a super close walk to the beach. The only issues we found were with the ovens and griddle top but maintenance came quickly to resolve the issues. We only wish there had been more comfortable seating in the living room besides the couch. We would definitely come back again!"
