Perfect View, Right on the beach, very quiet and nice layout

Stayed Valentines weekend 2025. Nice clean place on the beach and either nicely renovated or fairly new construction. Owner was very responsive and helpful to locate local amenities and help us with items in the home that we were not familiar with. We will certainly return for another stay!

The location was great, enjoyed the view and the huge deck but the beach cabin needs a lot of TLC. The biggest problem-ANTS, all through the house. We reported it and the owner responded promptly telling us she would try to get someone out to spray but no one ever came. Two of the toilet seats do not fit properly so they slide when you sit on them. Out of about 11 lights on the ground level only three worked. We had to clean the BBQ before using it and we cleaned after use as requested! I picked up popsicle sticks from the living room floor, took dirty dishes out of the dishwasher and washed them, there is mold in the master bathtub, no dishwasher detergent although you are asked to load dirty dishes and start the dishwasher before leaving, we just washed all dishes by hand, one of the deck chairs needs to be repaired, a renter before us left bait in the ground level sink that we cleaned up but of course the area stunk for two more days, the mildew smell is bad throughout the house and the bed in the master has mold all over the mattress cover and the sheets will not stay on the mattress. The owner really needs new housekeeping. The house isn’t worth the price you pay and far from a Luxury Retreat.

Beautiful home and gorgeous views!

Had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Loved the natural light, views and comfort. Arrived after dark and it was hard to locate lock box due to not knowing location and no lights. Towels were in dryer and dishes left in dishwasher. I would recommend labels on light switches as there are MANY. These were just minor inconveniences though.

Great view. Lots of bedrooms with private bathrooms, which made it really nice for us for gal pals who are all over 55. Kitchen was very spacious, overall had a fantastic time. No need to bring bags of ice, since there is a functioning ice machine, which was nice.

Beachfront Getaway

Location was great. Easy access to beach, Owner worked with us and answered questions timely. If you plan to stay here you will want to bring extra blankets. There was only one extra blanket but 2 women who freeze. I would try and find out prior to booking if there are any planned events at the beach. Sadly this was our kids Prom and we were unable to access the beach due to a Swingers convention going on the entire weekend. It was very disapointing! The whole scene was very dusturbing! Drugs-nudity-vulgerness.
