amazing house near beautiful beach
I visited A Stone's Throw with 3 friends in July 2017 and we had a wonderful time. Karen was a great host, the house was in immaculate condition with all the amenities and plenty of space to hang out, cook, and relax. It's a 5 minute drive to Pleasure Point, one of the best surfing spots I have been to, and a 3 minute walk to a beautiful beach. Would definitely stay again.
Very nice house near the beach
We stayed 4 nights with our grown kids. The house is even better than the photos indicate. Nice decor. It had everything we needed. It's a short 3 blocks to the stairs to the beach.
I'd rent it again in the future.
Perfect for our family!
Karen was so nice and everything was perfect. The layout is really wonderful for a family. Open kitchen in the center and deck all around. Shhh don't tell anyone so it's open for us when we come back....:)
One of our best Christmas vacations
We had the best time at this house. It had plenty of room for all 5 of us and our 2 small dogs. Located one block to the beach, morning walks were awesome. We spent most of our time in the family room sitting by the fireplace and eating good food that was made in the fabulous kitchen. It have everything we needed and more! Thank you Josey and Karen for a wonderful place to celebrate!!
Nice location, close to the beach, good price
Nice location, close to the beach, and to shopping, restaurants, with very little traffic noise. The house was comfortable, clean and fairly well appointed, with nice gas fireplace that actually took the chill off on brisk mornings, large fridge, coffee maker, blender, toaster, etc.. The owner left a nice bottle of wine and chocolates for us to enjoy - she was available to answer all my questions before we booked the property and while we were there. We had 5 people staying there with three local family members coming for meals and to hang out - so for 8 people it was a tight fit around the dining table, but room to hang out in the living/dining space. We did have to wash dishes and silverware after almost every meal, because there are not many cups, plates and such. Also had to buy toilet paper and paper towels on our 2nd day there (assumed that sort of item would be provided). Also, some of the beds are very noisy - something to do with the box springs - sounds like you are sleeping on bubble wrap when you roll over!
Everything Promised and More
We were more than satisfied with our rental property. The owners, Karen and Josey Ryan, were efficient in giving us directions, information about the area, and provided a comfortable and immaculate home. We would highly recommend staying there, and will not hesitate to return if we are in the area.
