Highly recommend!

This is our fourth year in a row to stay at homes owned by these hosts. They are awesome! We always bring our kids and grandkids, and it’s so fun to all stay under one roof. The house is always clean, beautifully furnished, and is an easy walk to the beach, or a very short drive. Can’t wait for next year!

Beautiful

This home is exactly as advertised. There was plenty of room for our group of 10 to gather comfortably and enjoy our time together. We loved the convenient location and could not have asked for a more beautiful place to stay.

What makes this property unique

This house has been set up as our second home, with everything we could want when visiting -- so it should have everything you could want too. Nice cookware, dinnerware, flatware, sheets, mattresses. We love staying here. We think you will too.
