The house was really nice. Love how close it is to the seawall. I do recommend that you put a dresser in bedrooms so we don't have to put our clothes on the floor, and chairs on the porch, and something to keep the screen door from flying open.But would love to rent again 👍👍

We had a great time. The home was perfect for us. The hot water was HOT! (but I like it like that) Very centrally located, quiet neighborhood. Slept well and we were all very comfortable.

Fantastic location!

You are a few minutes walk from the Pleasure Pier and the beach. From the amazing balcony you can even see a view of the water. One of the best locations I have stayed in on the island. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean and tidy. I will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful house next to beach

We stayed here prior to our cruise. The house accommodations were on point. We had 5 adults and 1 child and we had plenty of room to spread out. Definitely recommended a stay here. I know if we are in the area again we will request this property.

Clean, Comfortable House in a Great Location

We stayed for 1 night with a group of 3 adults and 3 teenagers. There was plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable and the A/C keep everyone cool at night. The location is fantastic! Only a few minutes walk to the beach. About a half mile walk to Pleasure Pier and several nice restaurants. Would definitely stay there again!
