This was perfect for our family of 4 for vacation. It was within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The outside shower was great to be able to rinse off after a day at the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night. We also enjoyed the games on a rainy day. My only suggestion to future guests would be to bring your own pillows. Everyone has different preferences but for us they were too flat. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location and extremely clean home. Frank was terrific to work with and the house is just beautiful, so clean and in a perfect location to walk to everything. If you plan to do a lot of cooking and for any groups larger than a couple you may want to bring larger cookware. The kitchen was not as well stocked as many places we stay at so we wound up eating out a lot. Granted we are a family of 6 so take that for what its worth. Beds are comfy and linens are nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Only suggestion we had was the doors don’t stay shut inside the house. Latches may just need to be adjusted. And the stairs to the back yard has a weird wood tabletop like thing at the landing which can be a pain to navigate. Other than that this place is great. Very clean, airy and great location.

This home is so charming! It was impeccably clean and even nicer than that photos showed. The beds were very comfortable. The space was perfectly air conditioned. Quiet and private. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and to coffee shops, the grocery store and restaurants. Beach toys, chairs and umbrellas were available for use. The host was great. We would recommend you stay here!

Amazing rental!

It was our 22nd wedding anniversary (October 5th). Several weeks ago I was looking for a rental and came across this gem! My wife, Heather, and I had a wonderful time. Plenty of space and great location. The only issue was someone used the big frying pan and burned whatever they cooked in it. But I was able to clean it and now it looks like new!! Every question I asked was answered promptly. Thanks for being part of our great memories!!

Great place in a great location!

The house was perfect and only a couple of blocks from the beach. My friend and I stayed there for the Shamrock Marathon and we were steps from the finish line. We booked the place based on location, but the house was also really cute, well maintained, and had everything we needed/wanted. Looking forward to coming back!
