Beautiful Ocean Front Property!
Beautiful property just steps from the beach. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. Comfy beds and couches as well. We could see the beach from almost every room! The beach in front of the house was not crowded at all. the sand was so white and the ocean calm. We loved the out door shower! Can't wait to go back!

We will share your love with the homeowner, they will be pleased that you appreciated the extra touches and that the home is so well maintained.

Feels like home lived up to its name! It was clean, comfortable and the oceanfront views were spectacular! The updates and reminders from Ward Realty were especially helpful for trash pick up and during the power outage. We really enjoyed our stay.
This property is amazing! I stayed here for a long weekend with my husband and three young kids, and it was perfect. The kitchen is stocked with any gadget you might need if you actually cook. There is a broom, vacuum, and mop in case you need to clean up because….kids. The master bedroom and the living room have amazing ocean views. Access to the beach could not be easier or shorter. So peaceful, relaxing, and “homey.” It really does feel just like home. Will definitely stay here again!!
Had a wonderful time! Communication with Property Management was great. Check In and Check Out was easy. Property and home was clean and well kept. Excellent location! Private access to beach. Quiet neighborhood. Will definitely stay again!!

Really nice house with very easy, dedicated access to the beach. The beach is not overcrowded. The house is very near several restaurants.

Great home for a family of 6. Very Clean and plenty of room.
Would definitely stay here again. We had a blast sitting on the upstairs porch one evening watching lightening strike across the sky over the ocean and hearing the thunder come shortly after. Made tons of memories, fantastic family time!
