Review Score:   8
Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great spot for a family getaway! The house was the perfect size and we loved that we could bring our dog. The deck had amazing ocean views and it was fun watching the deer wander by.A few tips for future guests: the driveway is very steep, the kitchen doesn’t have much in the way of basics (no salt), and you’ll want to bring your own beach towels and toys. Overall, a super relaxing place to stay!
