Our stay was fabulous. The kitchen is very well equipped, beds comfy and the selection of games/puzzles helped entertain us on the colder days when going to the beach wasn’t appealing.
Very clean and welcoming! Fit 4 kids in bunk room perfectly. Great stay and great pricing for house.

I hope you made memories to remember and will stay with us again soon! Thank you!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. Everything was perfect for our family group of 11. Plenty of room for everyone, yet, places to get away and enjoy some quiet time (the screened in porch is awesome). Easy walk to the beach and the house has everything you need to make your meals there. We enjoyed mealtime together at the downstairs picnic table, sunsets, and sunrises on the balconies with amazing views. We will definitely be back!
The property is as advertised and more. The house is very nice and close to the beach. The decks, beds, outdoor area and location cannot be beat!

About the host
Hosted by Laura Bolieu
We love the beach and have been coming here for years! We decided to build our dream beach home close to everything we love. I also am a runner and run the beach as much as possible, so peaceful! We hope that you enjoy our home away from home!
Why they chose this property
We offer a brand new beautifully built custom home with luxury finishes. Our home has views of the water from almost every window in the home. Large concreted area under the home is perfect for entertaining. One of my favorite features of my home is the screened in porch area. You can see and hear the ocean while drinking your coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings.
What makes this property unique
Family friendly is key! We are located in a very small and quiet private neighborhood. THERE IS NO PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS which means less crowds. Just what we like.
