What a charming beach house! Tammy was great to communicate with: prompt, and very friendly. Check in was painless, and we arrived to a spotless and very clean house, which, if you're anything like me and nervous about traveling during COVID your worries can be at ease here. It has everything you need to get your vacation started. The house comes with all the things you need for the beach so if you are the type of person who doesn't like to over pack, you don't have to! We arrived with not much more than our bathing suits and we were pleasantly surprised with all the amenities. There were beach chairs, beach shade tent, toys for my 5 year old, boogie boards, life jackets and floaties, a small cooler...list goes on! Berts is a few doors down for groceries and supplies (they have amazing hot breakfast sandwiches in the morning). Crowley seafood Market is nearby where we picked up local shrimp and fish to grill back at the house. The location was fantastic, right off the beach path and a very quick 1 minute walk to the beach. Outdoor shower was nice to rinse off. The house stays cool and is shaded by big trees so its perfect to catch an afternoon nap in between beach trips. We utilized the lovely, enclosed porch for our meals and relaxing. The place is more spacious than the pictures make it seem. I don't have anything bad to say about Tammy's beach house, I will be looking into staying again!
