Great Place

We stayed her so my family could spend some time with a relative in the area who was in hospice. It was perfect for senior citizens who needed a flat space with little to no stairs. Very clean and great accommodations.

LOVED OUR STAY!

My family and I are regulars to the area every summer, very close to the dunes and other attractions. Very easy and efficient communication with the host, we had 3 adults and 1 child, however there was plenty of room for 4 more. We would absolutely recommend this home!

Family trip

This was our second year staying here, the house location is perfect, close to the lighthouse and the state park. The house was clean and comfortable, we stayed during a heat wave and it got pretty hot in there so that would be the only downside, no air conditioning,…. There’s plenty of room for parking also.

Could not get the door code to work

We were able to get in one of the sliding doors. There was no way to call the owner and let them know. Other than that it was a fun place to stay.

No-frills, all essentials comfortable stay

There were four of us staying at the house. We used both bedrooms and both pull out sleepers. The beds were very comfortable. There were enough towels and bedding provided for everyone. The house is quite spacious. We never fully mastered which light switches worked which lights... not a big deal but slightly confusing. We had an issue with the WiFi connection the first night but it was taken care of the next morning! There is no A/C but the fans provided with windows open really kept the house comfortable (the high outside temp through the week was 73).
