Our house is in perfect condition as it is new to the rental market as this is our fifth year and we are the original owners. Every year we update our property--new rugs, shower curtains, and lots of improvements. We just redecorated the master bedroom with new king size bed and linens, new queen beds on second floor, black out curtains and shutters. We installed new flooring upstairs in 2022 and we replaced our washer and dryer with new larger capacity Kenmore w/d for 2023.

We rent our beach house, but we also spend time vacationing there every year so it is important that the beach house is a wonderful place for your vacation and ours!

We ask that our guests and their family and friends are non-smokers--we live in a friendly neighborhood. Our neighbors are also our friends who we know and respect, and if there is smoking in or near the house, they get the smoke too. Thanks for your understanding.

The kitchen is well supplied with all you could need even a blender, coffee grinder, frother for lattes, Keurig and Hamilton Dual Coffee Machine with pod and carafe service, cookie sheets, cooling rack, and lots of baking pans/sheets/muffin tins. There are lots of kitchen gadgets for cooks or grill masters! We have an extra table and several chairs in the garage for "al fresco" (outdoor) dining!

There are 2 40" TVs in the upstairs bedrooms and another smaller TV upstairs in the bonus room along with a PS3 gaming system with games. We installed a wireless entry for no hassle with keys and easy entry for all of your family and friends. The code is deleted after your stay and the new guests get a new code for security.

The downstairs Master Bedroom has a firm king bed and a private en suite bathroom. Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms; in one bedroom is a newer queen bed/bedding/decorating and the shared buddy bath leads to a perfect family bedroom or kid's bedroom with a newer queen bed and 2 twin beds.
