The house was clean, very well-stocked, and decorated nicely (loved the Christmas tree!). The fenced yard and lift were huge pluses, and the large deck was fantastic. Beach access for golf carts wasn't far. The only thing that would have made our stay absolutely perfect would have been direct access to the fenced area for the dogs, like our last rental, so I wouldn't have had to take them up and down so much. Would definitely rent again. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Huerta

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Laura, your main host here at Señor Whiskers Beach House. My husband Steven and I bought this house back in 2018 with my wonderful parents, Larry and Glenda. We love going to the beaches in Mexico, and that's where my dad got the nickname Señor Whiskers.

Why they chose this property

Don't be mislead by the name of our street, "Main Street." In fact, it's the least bustling Main Street I have ever encountered. It is a tranquil street with minimal traffic and a brief stroll to the beach. As a bonus, we are fortunate to have wonderful neighbors.

What makes this property unique

We have a 1,100-square-foot wrap-around deck with plenty of seating, a fire pit in our fenced-in backyard, a cargo lift that we let guests use, super-comfy beds, and we are dog-friendly. Check out our five-star reviews!

We take pride in our home and prioritize customer service and cleanliness. If you have any questions or concerns during your stay, please contact us immediately, and we will try our best to respond ASAP.

We hope to host you soon!
