Beautiful oceanfront duplex for two! The bright living room and oceanfront deck were our favorite; open concept with dining table, counterspace, all essentials in kitchen. Communication was easy and informative from beginning to end. Owners bought ice and placed in freezer for our arrival because the maker was not workingthoughtful essential! They even mailed back dresses I had left in the closet. Highly recommend for a few night get away!

Wonderful host - very helpful. House was exactly as described. Clean, well styled, well-maintained furniture. Amazing view of beach and ocean. No hidden gotcha surprises. Quiet area (at least in early November)Best suited for couples or small family. Only very minor issue is that the house is close to the road. Wasn’t terribly busy, but do need to manage the exit from parking.Bottom line - would definitely go back.
Sea oats were my favorite
Spent most of the time right here
Very nice kitchen

About the host

Hosted by Chip and Cindy

Host profile image
We love staying here when not busy working. This second home is just a short distance from where we live in Jacksonville but feels like a world away when we are sitting on the back deck!

Why they chose this property

No long walks to get to the beach. You are ON IT! Your deck is right there. No views are blocked! Enjoy your stay at our recently remodeled home away from home. We look forward to making your getaway as enjoyable as possible.

What makes this property unique

Close to town and everything you need yet still private and serene listening to the waves and seagulls. Lots of personal touches in this home make it more special for your time away.
