"We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and very clean. The outside yard could use to be cleaned up. But you honestly can’t beat the views here. The beach is private so it’s got a bit of debris but it’s gorgeous!! The host was very easy to deal. We were slightly inconvenienced a few times for some minor repairs that were needed which she reacted very timely to fix. She was lovely. We’d definitely stay here again."
