Great week, property is exactly as described. Lots of space, nice kitchen. Easy stroll to the beach. Great shopping nearby, we brought a lot of food with us, wouldn’t do that next time. Wild horses visited property a couple of times. All in all great vacation.
One word of warning, it is 9.1 miles of beach driving to get to property, if you don’t have a 4 wheel drive you will not make it. All wheel drive doesn’t do it.
Prepare well and this is a great place. I would bring your own pots and pans, ones in house are a little worn.

I am thankful they reiterated that we needed a 4x4 vehicle etc because that was definitely necessary, with that said, it made for such an unforgettable experience. It was so cool driving right on the beach and the home itself was in great condition. It smelled good, was super clean and bright. I thought the goodie bag at the beginning was a nice touch with many things provided such as extra blankets, pillows, some starter materials such as paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates etc. Also some beach supplies was available in the closet. In comparison to the first house we stayed at during the first week of our visit and then this house, this home exceeded our expectations and stood out. Thank you for a great experience and stay!

Our group of 13 people (3 families with kids ranging from 6yo-17) stayed for a week. The property was just as described. The location was perfect, just off mile marker 22 and with direct access to the beach. The kids, even the youngest, were comfortable walking back and forth from the house to the beach. The outdoor shower and hose were great to get the sand off and keep the house clean (well, as clean as possible... there's always going to be some sand with kids and a beach). The house was well outfitted with linens, enough bedrooms for all, and enough kitchen ware for all. The open concept 3rd floor was great for the family in the evenings for meals, games, and music. The property manager was readily available at all times and check-in and check-out were automated and well run. The downsides... it's an older house that was refurbished. So, there were minor issues like a dishwasher that was unstable (we put in a couple of screws in the side per manufacturer recs to stabilize it), loose door handles, etc. All in all, I highly recommend the home. I would definitely stay again.

Some of the dining room chairs were wobbly and screws were falling out. The front door was broken the first couple days we were in the house and the dishwasher was never installed properly so when you opened the door the machine tipped forward.

Overall great experience
Our check-in/check-out process was very easy. The owner communicated well and was great to work with. The house was very clean and updated beautifully, which made it very comfortable to stay in for the week! This house does not have a pool or hot tub which we knew going into it. Being that the house was oceanfront we didn’t feel we would have used a pool much anyway. However, I would have loved to sit and soak in a hot tub at night! That would be a terrific addition to the property.
Also, there isn’t a grill on the property. We purchased our own and brought it to the house. Not a big deal, but wanted people to know prior to arrival so they would be able to do the same.
Overall, we had a great week. We were more than pleased with our accommodations.
