Nice little older home within walking distance of the beach not far from the main part of the island worked great for my family of 4, I have some issues with the condition of the stairs and railings on the deck but the outside shower and the washer and dryer made our stay excellent

My daughters and I enjoyed this location for a little beach getaway however, we asked to check in a little bit early since we arrived early from out of state and that was denied and then we had a late flight out and asked if maybe we could have a late checkout, which was also denied so wish there was a little bit of flexibility because according to their listing, nobody was coming on the day that we were leaving. I would’ve been willing to pay for it, but it was just straight out no. The night before we were to check out the code stopped working for the door so it was after 10 o’clock at night. I had to reach out to get that resolved so I’m not real sure what happened there if they just put the wrong checkout time for 10 PM instead of 10 AM, but that was a little frustrating but I was able to get someone on the phone for help.
