Here are a few kind words from our past guests:

5-stars "The place was so delightful in many ways. Clean, pleasant space. The kitchen living room area was a nice place for everyone to gather. Pool, hot tub, decks and a two minute walk to the beach made life fun and easy. Having lots of bath rooms was very helpful with a lot of people in a large space. A great find." -Maxwell

5-stars" This house was absolutely perfect. It was less than a five minute walk to the beach (very near public beach access). Our dogs loved the big fenced in back yard. The pool and hot tub were very clean. The house has multiple very nice decks. Inside, it was clean, comfortable and well furnished. There was plenty of room for our family of 8. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and service ware. Lastly, and most importantly, Nadina was very responsive, friendly and provided clear instructions for our stay. We’ll definitely be planning a trip back next year."- Tina

5-stars "Great house for a big group or family. Clean house and super close to the beach. It was nice each floor had its own sitting area is everyone had their own space. We had two toddlers and the baby gates, two pack and plays, and baby toys were amazing!"- Tollie
