Beautiful, roomy house. Very comfortable. Gorgeous view of the ocean, sunrises, and sunsets! The host was quick to respond when an appliance issue arose. Most importantly.. the surf fishing was very good! Caught small flounder, black drum, pompano, palometa, and whiting. We would definitely stay at this house again.

We loved our stay here. It is a beautiful place and had everything we needed. We liked the layout of the house, and most of the house is moderately updated. The dishwasher is in need of replacement with a funny odor and missing buttons. Other than that everything was fantastic. We would definitely stay again.

Great beach getaway!

This house is awesome! It’s a little expensive but worth every penny to be right on the beach. The restaurants in the area are great too. We brought our dog so, I only wish there was a broom in the house so, I could have cleaned up a little. All in all, wonderful!

I'm at home now and missing sitting out on the lovely porch drinking coffee with the view and soundtrack of the ocean! The house was so clean, we felt right at home. I just wanted to make a special mention of what a nice touch the basket of throw blankets was!

Overall the property was stellar. Would rent again/recommend to anyone. Property manager was highly responsive for the one glitch that occurred on the last night of my stay. Nothing too major, but was able to reach someone after 5 pm, something not common. Great stay!

Fantastic beach home

We had the best stay! The house is awesome. The living area and kitchen are huge which was great since we had 8 people in the house. Everything was comfy and clean. The beachfront location was incredible! Even though it was Labor Day weekend we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Not a lot of houses around it and not a big public access area. Can’t say enough good things! The management co was super helpful and responsive!!

6/10 Okay

Nice..

The house is beautiful and a perfect location, but they really need to update some appliances and clean a little better. When we arrived there was a smell in the house, we think was coming from the dishwasher. We were able to clean the house good and ran the dishwasher empty and that helped. The dryer hardly worked and the top is caved in, the dishwasher is gross and we had some outlets that didn’t work. Having a working washer and dryer is important as they only supply one towel per person. Also bring your own beach chairs the ones provided at the house are terrible. Other than that the house was nice and loved being right on the beach.

Perfect getaway

This was an amazing vacation. We were 2 families looking to meet up for a long weekend getaway and really were fortunate with this place. Great communication with the property manager made for a smooth check-in and from our arrival, our expectations were exceeded! This home was well-appointed with all the kitchen gadgets, utensils, and cookware that we needed. The set-up was perfect for our 2 families to each have adequate bedrooms and our own bathrooms and a nice common area and full-size laundry. And the location was incredible. Just steps from the beach. So no lugging wagons or coolers was needed. And most impressive was how uncrowded this piece of beach was in comparison to other areas. Thank you for a great stay!
