Lifes @ Beach was wonderful
by Adam W.Lifes @ Beach was an absolutely wonderful, beautiful and inexpensive beach house staycation. I’m giving 4 star review only because the first night when we arrived, around 8:30pm or so, the water to the house was not working. Now, I completely understand that these homes arent always occupied and that they may cut the water off to avoid costly repairs if a pipe burst. I reached out to Janis via the airbnb app regarding the water and she responded about an hour later. She apologized profusely and assured me that the water would be turned on by the next morning at 8:00am. In the mean time, we had to bring up a few buckets of water from the neighbors to help flush the toilets. Again, which wasn’t a problem but a little inconvenient. Other than that small problem in the beginning, everything was PERFECT! I would definitely stay there again or any other properties Janis could offer. My family and I had a wonderful time, thank you ??
Life's a Beach-Little Gem
by RonaldGreat location steps from the beach. Also there is a bonus for Tesla owners, there is a 50 Amp Plug in for charging while staying at this little gem.
Beautiful beach views!
by RonaldGreat, newly built home that is a short walk to the beach. Host is very responsive. If you're a Tesla owner, make sure you bring your 14-50 Plug, they have a 50 AMP plug so you don't have to worry about charging while on the island!
