This place was perfect for 4 of us.! We were there 7 nights the end of September and the weather was the best we ever had at the beach. Location was perfect and water was calm and crystal clear. Waves picked up last few days but still a beautiful stay. House was perfect for our needs but wish there were grab bars in shower as my husband has dizzy spells. Also could use a rack for luggage in bedrooms.

Thanks for the great review of Crow's Nest II! We’re glad the home and location were a good fit for your stay, and that you enjoyed the calm, clear water. We appreciate your suggestions about shower grab bars and luggage racks and will keep them in mind.

Great property and location with easy beach access. Only complaint is that the property is in need of minor repairs (siding blown off, sagging ceiling panels on porch, leak through ceiling and wall in living room, shorted outlet on bottom floor, sticky front door).

You can't beat the location. Public access next to the home meant lots of chatter outside, but no one bothered us and it was quiet at night. Beautiful views. It's a vacation property on the beach, so expect some wear and tear but everything worked. Would book again, pending they fix a few small issues.

The house was in the perfect location….close to the beach, away from traffic, close enough to stores/restaurants/shopping. The outdoor shower was very convenient. We also loved the bar below the house for grilling and chilling.

This was a wonderful property! The AC had a hard time keeping up with the heat, but someone came quickly to check and clean the unit. He was very nice. My family enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you! We would definitely rent this property again.

This beachfront home was the perfect spot for our family vacation. With 4 kids we wanted a convenient location and this was great. The house had everything we needed and some, the bunk room was great, the deck was a great sitting spot and the beach was wonderful. We would definitely stay at this location again.
