Property was as advertised and in a nice central location! Easily walkable to some great spots and a short drive to the beach and other popular destinations in the area. Melinda has thought of everything as well, the space was well stocked with everything we needed down to coffee and phone chargers. The fenced in backyard and easy access to a trail behind the house was great for our dog too!

I had a nice 2 night midweek stay. They fenced in potion of the yard that you can walk on is about 8‘ x 20‘. It is well lit at night. The house is clean. It sits right on a street that is busy during morning and evening rush-hour and the dinner and after dinner hours. There are lots of motorcycles that drive down the street. It’s a short drive to Kruse beach which is very nice. We had the beach to ourselves. It’s a quick walk to Dockside Donuts for coffee and donuts in the morning.

Wonderful location, nice home, kids loved the basement, and the assortment of beach items were fantastic. However, the dog hair was gross. Every time you walked across the shag carpets,long white dig hair flew out. The couch had it all around the legs.

Cozy bungalow

This property has been very nicely done. It is clean and modern with lots of amenities. Can't think of anything that was lacking. It was very comfortable and charming. Plenty of room for lots more guests. It definitely has a beach house feel to it. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating. Seemed to put a lot of attention to detail into this property.
