Perfect Central Location

Shellie H.

Pros:
Perfect location between Fun Zone and beach. Upstairs patio was phenom for relaxing, bbq'ing, etc. Fire feature was great! 3 master bedrooms was great for the adults and 2 additional bedrooms for kids with separate bathrooms. 5 total full bathrooms was great to have after beach time. Kitchen had all the necessities (minus a good can opener). The floorplan was great for adults upstairs and teens downstairs. ;-) There was enough space that no one felt crowded. A washing machine and dryer upstairs and downstairs was also super useful. Finally, the property management checked in several times and was communicative.

Areas for improvement: There were only 4 rolls of toilet paper for 5 bathrooms for a 5 night reservation for 11 people. Additionally, there was one roll of paper towels upstairs, one downstairs, and 2 dishrags in the whole house. I would expect more for the price and number of days reserved. Also, for the price, I would expect more and higher quality towels. The towels were cheap and super worn.

Still a five star review, just suggestions for an improved stay. Would definitely stay again!! Thanks!

Awesome property in a perfect location! The home is beautiful and full of amenities. You can spend the day at the beach and the evening enjoying the beautiful weather on the upstairs deck sitting by the fire pit. The upper rear of the home can be completely opened up to enjoy the fresh air as well. Having a garage is a huge plus as well as parking near the beach is always challenging or can add up quickly as everything is metered. If you have kids with you there is a video game table, video consoles, and a pool table to keep them busy when not outdoors. Definitely looking forward to booking this home again

Beautiful and modern house. Super cool party house with a great lay out. I would definitely stay here again. It is located in a quieter location on the peninsula. Easy bike ride to the two piers.

Amazing house and perfect location!

John K.

The place is better in person than in the pictures. They have an arcade machine with all the old-time games like Pacman. We needed a place while we were re-piping our house and this turned out to be the perfect place for our family. Highly recommend it.
