Great property to stay in—everything you need. We chose this property because of the fenced yard as we were traveling with our small dog. We’ve stayed at the apartments adjacent so we were familiar with the set up.

Great little place and location
The place was exactly as described. Cute and clean. Just want to let other renters know some very MINOR things - one bedroom has no closet or mirrors (which is hard with sharing only one bathroom). Another thing I want to note is there are no wastepaper baskets in the bedrooms. Like I said all very minor. Otherwise had a great time getting around in a golf cart and had a parking space to put it.

My error I should have read listing throughly
First I want to start by admitting that I did not read the listing thoroughly and should have read other reviews. I’m not bougie or picky, I’ve lived through hard times and good times so based on my experience is why I’m sharing this post. Pros: 2 short blocks close to the beach, outdoor shower to rinse off seawater and sand, beautiful well kept outdoor area, kitchen is well maintained and has basic needs and appliances worked properly. Cons: upstairs unit only, couch needs replacing the stitches are undone, and sinks when sitting in front of the tv, sectional is not secured and comes apart, the floors are uneven, the bedroom door nearest to the restroom doesn’t stay open and sticks when the door is closed, the sink in the bathroom is super small and when washing up the the morning water is spilled all over the floor, the shower floor has black spots around and needs attention, the window ac units are super loud so loud that it would wake me up at night, the outside area is a shared space with abutting property and there is no privacy, rental was a little confusing to find as it’s behind a tall wood fence, the key entry instructions were confusing because it stated to enter the asterisk sign and there was no asterisk sign on the key pad, some decor is outdated or broken or dirty. I don’t recommend for a couples getaway or for a family of four because it’s too tiny. I’d recommend if you just need somewhere to sleep and secure your belongings.
