What Guests Are Saying
“We enjoyed this little hidden oasis and can’t wait to come again!”
“Positive: Just what I needed a private pool and a beach house close to the beach! I definitely want to come stay again soon! Owner is polite and communication was great Place is clean cozy and peaceful. Thank anchors away!”
“Have no complaints. Ac was cold and the pool was great ! The host is helpful and nice. In the summertime you will find it best to leave the shutters down to keep the house cool , if you want one open for view that’s cool too but we had no problems . They have a newer refrigerator too so some of the reviews are not current. Fridge was perfect! No ice maker just buy a bag of ice. No big deal. Had the best time !!”
