Very small quaint place. Was big enough for 2 people and maybe small kids. Had everything we needed except not enough plug ins in bedroom. Also did not have enough hot water for 2 consecutive showers. Was a very quiet neighborhood and half a block to beach which we walked.Overall was a nice, affordable place.

This house had everything we needed and it was so clean and comfortable. We were visiting our children and grandchildren and it was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed and it was so close to the beach! Neighborhood was really quiet too!

Very clean, and nicely furnished beach house, with good views to the ocean and short walk to the beach. Lots of equipment and kitchen supplies. Will definitely be returning again in the future.

I'm fairly mew to VRBO. When looking for a quick getaway before my kids go back to school, I found this cute home by the beach. The space was comfortable, and clean. The host had a fully equipped kitchen for cooking and plenty of towels and extra linens. The bedrooms are small but being within walking distance to the beach made up for it. I realize many renters are trying to arrange check in and out times in a similar fashion to hotels but a 4pm check-in is very late. 10am checkout was doable but a little more time wouldn't hurt.
