My husband and I stayed for a week at Matt’s place and we had the BEST experience! The beach was such an easy walk and we spent many hours on the screened in porch listening to (and getting a little glimpse of) the water. There were very few people on the beach and it felt like we had it to ourselves. We would love to bring the family back and rent the entire house next time. Matt was the perfect host, even loaning us a couple of beach towels and a small cooler to use. He definitely went above and beyond as a host! Our two favorite places to eat were Quattro Locos and Indian Pass Raw Bar.

This was a last-minute booking and I cannot describe how wonderful the experience was. Everything was perfect. From the house being clean, comfortable and well equipped to the pool being warm and inviting. Extremely dog friendly and she also enjoyed herself immensely! I hope to be back MANY more times.
