10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We LOVED our stay! The house was perfect- literally a 3 minute walk to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee and cooking utensils making it easy to run to the store to cook some meals. It was so cool that they provided some beach accessories (umbrella, wagon, sand toys, boogie board, kites) too! The only criticism is that the queen size beds weren’t too comfy and black out curtains in the rooms would’ve been amazing. Otherwise everything was perfect. We look forward to coming back for another visit!
