We had a fantastic stay! Close to the beach and a great house! Beach box was great to rent from! The house was great with lots of space. Pet friendly which is great for us as we travel with our pup. Would definitely rent from Beach Box again in the future!

Within a stones throw of the beach. Living area was great for lounging. We made stew in the kitchen and cooked breakfast every day. The property was well taken care of. Quiet neighborhood. We had a wonderful time.

Jennifer- Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you loved the location and the house. It’s great to hear you had a wonderful time. We’d be happy to host you again in the future!
The house fit our needs perfectly. We had two families or 4 and the house never felt cramped. Everything was clean and worked great. Very close to the beach.

Thanks for the 5-star review! So glad you had a great time staying with us.
The proximity to the beach can’t be beat! The double bunk beds were also nice. There are no beach amenities (chairs or towels) which was disappointing for a beach rental. Also not great storage (no dressers, closets full of random stuff like a Christmas tree). Overall it was worth it for the location, but might not be the best fit for someone who wants to feel more settled or have beach amenities.

The host was fantastic with communicating and the property was perfect for our stay!
The house was very clean and cozy. Loved the outdoor area and the view of the ocean and beach.
2 minute walk to beach. Very convenient.I would suggest throw blankets in living and additional blankets on the beds. The AC runs verry cold, we had it at 74, and that was too cold.

Our family of ten stayed the night before our cruise in this great VRBO! It was clean and had a beautiful view. It would be a great place to stay longer and create a lot of fun memories with friends or family.
