    Great place, loved that the pool was enclosed to ensure safety for our young kids. Leah was very communicative and always available. When the pool filter wasn’t working, their housekeeper was right on it. Thanks for the awesome stay.

    Response:
    Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Kate-Lynn! It’s so nice to hear that you enjoyed your stay!! And especially that our enclosed pool and responsive staff contributed to a great stay. We are glad that Leah and our housekeeper were able to assist promptly. We hope to welcome you back soon and continue providing excellent service.

    This house was excellent exactly what we needed for our family. Besides hitting every box we needed (bathroom on first floor, pet friendly, pool) it also was in a perfect location not far from anywhere we wanted to go. The owners also conveniently provided plenty of towels, toilet paper, soap, and materials to cook with. We enjoyed our time at this house and would definitely book it again.

    The property was decent, however it lacked a few necessary finishes. Unfortunately you can tell the property is truly a rental as they do not care much about attention to detail. The full bathroom upstairs did not have any window treatments or curtains so it did not give privacy at all from the neighbors. It also had a broken light near the sink. There was an additional non working light in the kitchen. The location was ideal but not exactly safe walking distance to the beach with young children. The tire swing actually is too close to the ground to actually use.
    They provided a booster chair at my request which was great! Also, the beach chairs were super nice to have. The aesthetic was very nice and it was well decorated. Overall good experience, but could use some tlc and a few updates.

    Response:
    Raquel, thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location, the décor, and that the booster seat and beach chairs were helpful during your visit.
    That said, we’d like to respectfully clarify a couple of points:
    Lighting: Both the bathroom and kitchen lights were tested prior to your arrival and again after check-out ( this is part of our inspections and cleaning checklists) — they were/are fully operational, so perhaps you have not located the correct switches? . We’re always happy to address concerns in real time, and unfortunately, we didn’t receive any messages during your stay regarding this.
    Bathroom Privacy: The upstairs bathroom window faces the private backyard and pool area, not toward neighboring homes. The layout was intentionally designed for privacy, and we’ve not received similar concerns before. But with that said, the owner is looking into installing blinds.
    We absolutely hear you on the other notes — like the tire swing height and attention to detail — and appreciate your candor. Guest feedback helps us continue to improve and fine-tune the space for future stays.
    Thanks again for choosing to stay with us, and we wish you all the best in your travels ahead!
