This is a charming home right by the river with good hang out spots, a well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. As advertised and well represented by photos. The beach area is a short walk with paths on both sides of the main road. Quiet neighborhood. We were there on a chilly, rainy weekend and very much enjoyed the screened in front porch listening to and watching the birds and rain.

We enjoyed our stay so much . You were such a gracious host leaving us snacks and beach swag. My little family cannot wait to go back. It was very helpful that you had a lot of baby products. We did not have to pack a pack and play which was nice.

Great house, even better location! Perfect for our short stay but I imagine it would also be great for a longer stay as well. Plenty of space for downtime before and after the beach! The location is ideal if you have little ones and need to lug things back back-and-forth from the beach.

It truly felt like a home away from home — warm, welcoming, and filled with the kind of comfort that reminded us of staying at Grandma’s. After more than 20 years of busy lives and not all being in the same room together, this stay brought us back in the best way. We came for a wedding, but now we’ve vowed to make this a yearly tradition.

The space was perfect for a friend getaway! I’d suggest bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper, there’s some sort of dripping sound on the roof when it rains and it’s relatively loud.
