Very well stocked and appointed rental. This was the first time we’d stayed at a short term rental property but we were pleasantly surprised at how well it was prepared. Literally a home away from home. We were here with the grand kids and had a 2, 9 & 14yo and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location was also close to plenty of attractions and the beach.

Great place

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with a lot of nice features. We especially liked the step stool and the smaller toilet seat for toddlers. The shore is close by to put your feet in and watch the waves, but a good traditional beach for a beach day is more of a drive away. The beds are very comfy and bathrooms felt resort-like.

Great Visit

We had a wonderful stay at this house! It was steps from the shore, however if you are looking for a beach for your kids to play at then you need to drive a few minutes north or south to a sandy beach. We caught the sunset nearly every evening by watching the sun set over the ocean. Wonderful memories. You can hear the waves crashing at night from your room. We made breakfast and dinner at the house every day and the kitchen was very well stocked. The owner was nice and responded right away when we called her. It was actually really cold and rainy outside while we were there but the condo had heat and stayed warm enough. There is an electric fireplace but we never used it. Lots of beach chairs and beach towels to use as well, which was really great for the one day we had that the weather was good! Loved having 3 bathrooms too!Just a couple things to note:We have a small SUV and we couldn't fit inside the garage. It was no problem because we never had an issue finding another spot on the street. The owner told us it was better to back into the garage instead of pulling in, but the on street parking worked just fine for us.Very noisy neighbors upstairs, but that couldn't be helped because they had small kiddos. We were up at 6 AM every morning with the sounds of little feet pounding all through the condo. That may or may not be an issue for some. We are early risers so it wasn't an issue for us, but just FYI.We would love to stay here again. We had a really good time.

This property was my home for 5 years and I have so many great memories with family and friends here. It is a second home for us now and we short-term rent it when we can't be here. I love sharing this special property with others and getting to be a part of them building lifelong memories of their own.
