We took a chance renting this home before any reviews and could not have been happier. This cute beach house came with everything we needed and more. The kitchen is fully stocked, the shed had beach chairs, equipment and a wagon. We spent most mornings & evenings on the lovely screened porch. The beach, Publix and a few restaurants are all walking distance. Great host too. If we make the trip back from California again, we would stay here again!

When hidden gems are found most of the time you keep them to yourself. However I know it’s not the right thing to do here. This is our 4th time staying here and 1st time under the new ownership. We’ve always had a great time and stay. The new ownership have really updated the house. We love this little hidden gem. Great parking, a shed filled with everything you need to enjoy a vacation without bringing anything from home, neighbors are very nice. Very clean and owners live local so no need to ever worry about an issue that may come up while you’re here. 10/10 stay. Will definitely be booking again later in the year. Honestly I can’t think of anything to put in this comment that would have made the stay any better or any changes they could make.
