Fine for a weekend getaway
Ok for a couple of days. The house is very cute just not very functional. Luckily we didn’t need the upstairs but the steps are too unstable to even consider climbing. When we first arrived there were a lot of roaches and dirty bath mats. Would have loved for there to be a coffee table or something in the living room to play games on. Overall if you’re ok having to take a short drive to the beach it’s not a bad location, and the house is suitable for 4 people max.

Awesome stay, close to the beach
Overall we really enjoyed our time! The house was spotless, and had everything needed for a great stay, pots & pans, dishes, air fryer, rice cooker, etc. The home is about a 7-8 minute walk to the beach which is perfect, we rented a golf cart and it was a quick drive! I will say the walls from other houses are paper thin, so you can hear what's going on inside the other houses when you are outside. It's a quiet neighborhood, and the beach area was never that packed since you're further down on the peninsula. A quick drive to restaurants and the grocery store, and about 20ish minutes from the ferry!

Loved our stay
Perfect for us and so close to the beach! Communication between owner was good. The only suggestion we have is to find a way to provide more seating for meals inside. Three place settings at counter bar wasn’t enough for all of us. Overall, great experience, and perfect for what we needed!

Cute little house!
We really enjoyed this beach house! It was clean and the accommodations were awesome! I don’t recommend letting anyone under 12 use the lift stairs, they were not sturdy at all. I also recommend bringing a fan if you like one while you sleep. It was very cute, clean, and perfect for our family of four! I’d stay again!

Overall great stay
Seemed to be cleaned very well before our stay, although we did see a few bugs during our stay. Loved the interior design, however the house did sway with any movement (may be built to sway on purpose to combat wind, not sure). There was a ladder to get to the loft bed but it seemed a little unsafe and wobbly even for my adult granddaughters. As an older woman with trouble walking the stairs were an issue but if you are young they should be no problem. This stay had all the amenities and more, and was a 1 minute drive to the beach. Overall a nice stay and would recommend to friends & family.
