This property was amazing and fully equipped for our every need. It was perfect in every way; private, convenient, clean, comfortable; with many extras in the kitchen and bath. With the convenient location right on the beach, our trip was extra special. Our host was easily accessible with a question we had regarding booking. The property was pet friendly but showed no signs of being occupied by pets as it was spotless when we arrived. We will plan to rent here again when we visit in the future.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the property exceeded your expectations and provided everything you needed for a comfortable, effortless stay. It’s great to know the beachfront location made your trip even more special.
We're also glad we could assist quickly when you had a question, we always want our guests to feel supported and well taken care of. And thank you for noting the cleanliness; our team takes great pride in preparing a spotless, welcoming space for every arrival.
We’d be absolutely delighted to host you again on your next visit!
We have stayed at dozens of properties, hotels, etc and this was a memorable visit and our favorite place. The hosts/property mgmt provides proactive communication and seamless process before, during, and after your visit. We loved how well equipped the kitchen is, everything high quality. The pictures of the house/view actually understate how phenomenal the view and peacefulness of the property are. You can hear the ocean from both balconies and really feel secluded. The location steps away from the beach cannot be beat.The hosts put a lot of care into all details and the experience for the guests. With two kids under 3, it was so easy to travel/pack knowing the house was already equipped for little ones. The house was exceptionally clean. The decor and surf vibes make the stay more of an experience compared to other beach properties I’ve stayed in.
