As advertised :)

The house was great.
The location on the beach was better than expected.
Everything was as pictured.
The owners were very helpful in answering our question in advance of our arrival.

PS: We did go look at 2 other houses we were considering and both were not complete in there description as advertised, not enought to be disappointed but still noticable.

This is a great out of the way family orientated community without the all the traffic on the beach or roads.

Awesome Beach!

The owners are fantastic!! Very responsive and helpful. They are super well-organized and I received my cleaning deposit back very quickly.

The house was as advertised, well-stocked and very clean. They supplied linens, soap and cleaning supplies. The picture of the distance to the beach is a bit deceiving.. the beach is literally right there, steps away. It's an awesome beach - very clean and great shells. Since it's dedicated to a few homes on this small strip of land, it was nice and quiet.

The whole top floor is dedicated to the master suite with an awesome balcony looking out to the ocean. There is a large downstairs room (no attached bath, but right outside the door) and another room with bunks (twin top, double down). The house could use some updating, but it's very spacious, clean, and comfortable.

There is a tiki bar located a bit further up the street whose owners were very nice and the food was excellent. There are also a few restaurants somewhat close by - Dockside was great, nice outdoor area on the water and the food was really good. There are also a few wonderful fresh seafood markets - we were feasting on fresh clams, crayfish and grouper.

If you’re in the mood for a relatively private beach, relaxing getaway and not a lot of hubbub, this is the place for you.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, romantic getaway

House very dusty

Great location, beautiful beach but house was very dusty, spider webs in the living room windows and in the ceiling fan. I even got some in my hair. There was a chewed bubble gum on top of one of the bedroom lamps (bubble gum art?). Also if you like to cook while on vacation, bring your own pots and pans, because the ones that they have are in very bad shape. I am not a picky person, love to travel and have rent a lot of vacation homes, this is my first bad review about one. When I complained about the bubble gum, I received an e-mail response telling me that "I was trying to paint a broad impression of a dirty house". They offered to send a cleaning crew the next morning or we could check out and they will refund the remaining balance. The point is that whoever was in charge had a very rude attitude about a simple complain. Well, we knew that it was going to be almost impossible to find another place that same day, so we stayed and enjoyed the rest of the weekend. I won't recommend this house.
