LOVED the charm of this house. We parked the day we arrived and never got back in the vehicle. We walked to grocery store, dinner, beach. All were close enough to walk to, even with 2 kids (age 7 & 9). Sat on the covered front porch every morning and evening.

Comfortable beach house 3 blocks from the beach. Beautiful kitchen for preparing meals. Grocery store is a few blocks away. Pillows for beds need upgrading, we did have several roaches in bathrooms and bedrooms. I hear these are common in Georgia. We also found ants on coming into one bathroom. Washer and dryer work great. Overall enjoyable stay.

The house was beautiful and comfortable. It was well equipped with everything you could need. Easy access to the beach and the grocery store. The only issue for me was that there were some areas with lots of dust and we are allergic to dust so we had to do some cleaning the night we got there. There was hair in one of the kids beds and a couple other things that were not as clean. The basic things were clean but I wish they did a more thorough job when cleaning. They were very responsive when I reached out and offered to send someone to dust. Overall it was a great experience and a great house.

Great location on the bike path, lovely front porch, back deck to enjoy the sunrise with coffee and in the evenings a fire pit in an enclosed yard. Located in a quiet neighborhood, with very nice neighbors.
