Loved the openness of the top floor (living and dining area, kitchen). Great decks that looked out toward the ocean. Pool was excellent...large, great deck amenities (hammock, cozy seating, great shower). Would love to stay here again. The only drawback isn't the house's fault. The walk to the beach from this property is convoluted. Not too, too far, but just enough to be annoying. Again...not the house's fault. Just sharing more as an FYI to renters. The house is still worth the stay!

The house was mostly perfect for our 2 families (4 adults and 6 kids aged 4 to 11). The layout was great -- kitchen, dining, and living room were very open and spacious plus the views of the ocean from the main floor were amazing. Even though the house is technically 3rd row from the beach, there is no 2nd row home b/c it's marshland and the 3 1st row homes directly in front of this house were older, shorter homes that did not block the view of the ocean. Getting to the beach wasn't bad as there was a walkway near the house that shortened the trip to the public beach access. If you look at this home on the map you may assume that you have close beach access and access to a dock on the intracoastal waterway but the few homes on this street are not part of the neighborhood that affords that private access. Because it rained hard as we were arriving the gravel driveway and dirt road held a lot of standing water as did the marsh land next to the house which led to lots of mosquitos. As the water subsided so did the bug bites -- just plan on having some bug spray. The pool and pool deck was another big highlight for us -- plenty of space for our whole crew with enough room for some to float around while others played games. The hammock, outdoor couch, and patio table were used everyday because the kids didn't want to leave the pool.

Great property in a very good location. Had a family of 14 and the house was exactly what we needed. The pool was a great plus. Hope to stay there again in the future vacations.

We really enjoyed this house. The location was great, it was a short walk to the beach which we preferred with two small children. We really liked having our own pool and the outside shower was a great bonus. We brought our projector and watched a movie on the bathroom wall while we swam or laid in the hammock. Everyone enjoyed their rooms and the open floor plan upstairs. The two fridges were nice since we bought groceries for the whole week and there were multiple families there. Only a few downsides to this property. The freezer in one fridge already had ice forming inside from not being shut fully before we even arrived. (very minor grievance) The pool heater stopped working due to water evaporating faster so the pool needed to be refilled, which we didn't mind doing BUT there had been no instructions left telling us that it would need to be done so about 2.5-3 days of our stay the water was cold. And that wouldn't have been an issue but we did pay an extra $300 for the pool heater to be turned on so it would have been nice if we could've enjoyed a warm pool the entire stay. (water was still a bit chilly due to it being early May) Last "issue" we had was more of a safety hazard that we felt needed attending to. The balcony at the very top is not constructed properly. There should be wood or some other sort of structural support inside of the railings but there is not. So essentially the only thing keeping you from falling is a piece of aluminum and they are very wobbly. Also, the wood out there is very splintered and weathered so definitely wear shoes on the top deck! But overall it provided us a great home for our vacation and we will definitely consider staying there again!

Needs a little maintenance

The house was exactly as described and perfect for what we needed. The pool was a wonderful addition.
