Wonderful stay. Small glitch when first arriving but communication with owner had it fixed immediately. A very comfortable home for our small group of three but could easily accommodate the number advertised. We loved the deck and ocean breeze at night. Close enough to beach that we could walk there in less than 3 to 5 minutes. Found the property pet friendly with enclosed area and foggy bowl. It was relaxing enjoyable stay.
Yellow house. Good location. Close to grocery store, new liquor store, Dollar store, candy shop, Tia Juanita restaurant

Great Family Vacation

Our large family couldn’t have asked for a better property for our summer vacation. The property was clean and had plenty of space for 3-Adults and 4-Children under 9 years old. The listing photos matched the in-person experience. The home has easy access to a private neighborhood walk path leading directly to the beach. Brad was very communicative and extremely helpful. Our family is already talking about our next stay.
