We had a fun and relaxing stay in this vintage RV. 10/10 recommend. The place was very clean, matched the pictures, and Melanie was super responsive. If you go to the pool, make sure to use the phone booth for a free popsicle!

Poolside Paradise w/King Suite • Beach Nearby

KathyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The house was even better than in the pictures. It was extremely clean and smelled fresh. There was nothing that you could want. Lindsay thought of absolutely everything… from the coffee bar, cold water, lots of welcome goodies, laundry detergent, everything you’d use in the bathroom including new tooth brushes if you forgot yours, and even ear plugs in the bedside stand if you need them to sleep. There was every type of charger you could use, a blue tooth speaker, lots of family games to pass those rainy days. I loved how new and organized everything in the kitchen was. I can’t say enough about Lindsay’s home and how nice and accommodating she was. If you get a chance to stay there, you won’t be disappointed.
