This is our second time staying at the property and we have loved it both times. You cannot beat the sunset views and the seclusion from other houses and people is really nice. Love this property!

This house was great! Very spacious and clean. We had a great time and the owner was quick to respond. It was not in a high traffic area so we didn't have lot of noise but still close enough to everything. Would definitely recommend!

The property was very clean, updated and fit our family of 16 perfectly!! The owner was great at communicating and I love the fact that it was gated and secluded a bit. The views of the bay were amazing and the house was well stocked with our needs. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which worked out well for us. Hoping to do this same house in the summer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. It was a beautiful location, with water views all around- perfect for sitting on one of porches and relaxing. There was plenty space for 13 of our family members, and they have a bunk room that is perfect if multiple families are traveling with kids. It was a gated community, so it felt safe and secure. Each room has its own bathroom as well, which is a huge plus with multiple families traveling together. The photos were accurately depicted and the manager was very quick to respond to any messages. The only downside of this home is that it was pretty unclean. I would just suggest passing that on to the cleaning crew because I’m sure they’re supposed to be held to a higher cleanliness standard. Overall, we would absolutely return and visit this home!

We had a great stay. Having a bathroom attached to each bedroom was great having a dog family there. The beach is only a few minutes away, grocery store less than 10 mins away. Host responded quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay again. For future guest, bunk room doesn’t have a fan, so may want to bring one,

GOOD - Great views, Secure, Quiet & good access. BAD - Couldn't lock front/back doors. Key didn't work. Dead bolt frozen in. Refrigerator needs work. Constantly was beeping. Froze our food, ice dispenser didn't stop ejecting ice. Stove. left front burner didn't work. Igniter is broken off. Smoke alarm in one of the upper bedrooms was missing. Thermostat needs to be fixed to wall.It is just hanging by wires. It does work however! Toilet paper holder in the master bedroom area needs to be fixed again. Has been knocked off and put back on several times due to use of long screws Carpet in master bedroom was curled up & clear tripping menace! Not one spatula in the place. Nor a corkscrew. Walls throughout were filthy. Some things had been stuck on onto walls above living room windows - pretty unsightly. You might try repainting with semi-gloss or satin, it cleans better. Floors throughout were also filthy. You might want to have a talk with cleaning people!!! Most mattresses like sleeping on plywood except bunks which were really, really soft. Living room sectional is totally sagging & broken. Really uncomfortable. We were relagated to sitting on dining chairs when watching TV. Last but not least. I would highly recommend that IF you are a Senior or over weight or otherwise not in "tip top" shape, you find another place to stay. The stairs are KILLER!
