3rd stay
We like the location of the house. The area is convenient to just about everything and quiet. We bring our dogs with us and it’s nice to have a little yard for them.The overall cleanliness of the house is ok but I think the owner should do surprise inspections. The cleaning company is missing certain places. Maybe a deep cleaning might help. I stretch every morning and when you’re on the floor you see all kinds of things you don’t while standing up.For the price it works out.

This little spot was perfect for what we needed. Fenced in back yard was great! We were there when the tropical storm was trying to push in and a lot of roads close by were flooded, but we did not have any issues here!!

Just right
My wife and I had the whole house to ourself (plus our 2 cats) Had everything we needed in the kitchen to make our own meals, We also enjoyed the great restaurants nearby.
Queen bed was comfortable. it was nice to have washer / dryer in house. (we were there a month).
Plenty of sunshine came in the windows to brighten the place, but would be nice to have more light for dreary days.
Would love to stay there again

Nice and cozy
This is a nice little house and enjoyed it with my family and doggies. Have a decent size dog that crawled out under the house would be nice if it was blocked off. Loved the layout of the house and no need to pack beach chairs, pop up or sand toys they have them all there, but would of been nice to know before we traveled with all our junk. Would stay here again if need the same accommodations, but will probably stay closer to the beach. Over all loved the this place and recommend it.

Lovely little beach house
Stayed 4 nights with my daughter and 2 dogs. So close to beach and great resturants. House had everything we needed. Neighbor super nice and helpful. Backyard not little dog safe but we used the yard chairs to block access to under house area. Back yard super cute but had a lot of fire ants so watch out! We had an awesome stay!! Didnt want to leave.

Dogs and Harley
Great place to stay with your dogs. Our dogs are large so they weren’t able to get under the house but I can easily see tiny dogs getting out of the yard. We never leave our dogs unattended outside at rentals anyway. We went for short walks with them daily.
We brought our motorcycle down and the parking behind house was perfect spot to store the trailer. Left motorcycle in driveway, never felt unsafe leaving it there overnight.
It was just the two of us and our two dogs so the house was perfect size.
Perfect location on the island. The neighborhood was nice, beautiful houses a few streets over.
We’d stay here again. I’m pretty sure we had the last few days of the island not being crowded until late September.
(Oh the neighbor Joe is nice and is around if you need anything)
