Location, location, location

This property is in an excellent location within walking distance to everything. We all felt that the property could have been a bit cleaner. Our host did respond immediately to our complaint of many drain flies with a visit from an exterminator. The beach chairs supplied leave a lot to be desired, camp chairs just don't work in the sand. We enjoyed our stay and probably would return here.

A Perfect Weekend Escape at the Beach

This location is simply unbeatable. The beach is just a short walk, right outside your door. Plenty of things do within walking distance. The host is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. This is my second time renting this property, and I can confidently say I will keep coming back!

Amazing

The property was clean and cozy. Located just feet from the beach. We did have an issue with the shower door falling off which was addressed immediately by the host and was really a non issue. The trash cans were also full. Other than those 2 small issues the stay was perfect for our small family.

Great place to stay- super easy walk to the beach. The only negative is the lack of privacy for the bathrooms due to the sliding doors

Our family vacation

This is the first time we rented a beach house for our yearly family trip with our 3 kids and it was great! Our host made this trip so easy and stress-free from the booking online until we left! Any questions I had got answered quickly. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and right across from the beach access. We definitely made memories for sure and will be back!

Most relaxing vacation my family has ever went on!!

The house was perfect!! So close to the beach, that we went twice a day the entire week we stayed. There was no issues with extending our stay, and everything that needed was close. We had one issue with a door knob falling off, but the owners showed up with in a few hours to replace it. Whenever we decide to plan out vacation to the Atlantic Beach, we will definetly recommand this location and rent the house again.

Great location

Beach access was steps away from our door and the unit was super nice! A bit tight if you have a the full capacity but worth it for the location by far! Washer and dryer being full size was a definite plus and being provided back up towels and veil is beach supplies was great especially since we were from far away.

Girls beach trip

“Beach Life” was perfect for our traditional girls beach trip that has grown over the years from just 2 of us to 5. Myself, 2 adult daughters and 2 granddaughters were comfortable. The property’s also very clean. Kim provided everything we needed so we didn’t have to haul a lot of stuff. It is a very short and easy walk out onto the beach. I’d definitely stay here again.
