The location and house was absolutely outstanding! We had our family with 2 under 3 years old, my friend and my parents stay and we all had so much room!! Everything was immaculately clean and there was a park in walkable distance. This has been our favorite VRBO we have ever stayed at! The owners were very accommodating and would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Wonderful retreat location

We used this property for an off-site work retreat, and it was perfect! Great space for co-working, but also enough room to break out when we needed individual time. Beautiful setting and all the amenities we needed (and then some!). We hope to be back again!

Great holiday gathering space!

We were looking for a location that would handle a few large family gatherings when we visited our family, and this was the perfect VRBO! It allowed us to give families an overnight sleeping option when needed. Lots of space and ammenities!

For the three days we stayed, everyone repeatedly said how perfect it was: perfect size-wise, comfortable, beautiful views, close to shopping and restaurants, and great sleeping arrangements. It was an excellent place to stay! Thank you to our hosts.sleeping arrangements.

Had a very enjoyable 4 nights at this home. Very clean, up to date furnishings…. Extremely well stocked with all spices and other kitchen essentials. View was lovely from patio and very spacious for our 5 adults and 2 small children. Beach and playground were within a 5-10 minute walk. In a safe and upscale neighborhood. Host, Stacy, was quick to respond with any questions. A note of caution- there is only 1 bedroom on the main floor and it has a queen bed. We are an average sized couple, but used to a king bed, so it was a little cozy!
