This property was fantastic!!! 3 generations stayed and it exceeded our needs by having ample space, elevator and the big hit of the week was access to the beach, beautiful 2nd floor patio and the Jaws pinball game! We couldn’t have asked for more!

The house was SO much nicer than the listing showed. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and clean. The beachfront was breathtaking. Our first time to the island, which was charming and unspoiled. We all agreed that it was the best beach vacation and the greatest house we’d stayed (and we’ve been to a lot of them). Thanks - we will definitely be back!

Beautiful house. Could not ask for a better view. Pictures don't do it justice. It is even better in person. Lots of beach and pool accessories and toys. Not advertised but has a foosball table and pinball machine. Both were very fun and enjoyed along with corn hole set. Would highly recommend a stay!

This house is wonderful. It accommodated our group of 7 very well. It is a quiet area and the beach views are amazing! We loved the proximity to the beach as well as to a grocery store and other shops. It has so many amenities and we definitely overpacked! We have stayed at several different condos and resorts where they claim they have items and then they aren't there when we arrived. This house had beach towels, several beach chairs, a wagon, umbrellas, beach and pool toys. All in good condition too. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, pots/pans but does not stock kitchen staples like foil, plastic wrap, spices, oils, etc, which was totally fine. So those would be items to pick up at the store if you plan on cooking in, which I recommend as the kitchen and outdoor grill area are very nice. The rental company did a great job communicating if someone was coming by to work on the pool or landscape or do any other upkeep that was necessary. All other communication was always timely too. We would definitely rent here again!

The house is a perfect location. Right on a gorgeous beach, on a less popular stretch (allowing more privacy), and the house is in fantastic shape. Heated pool and hot tub were a delight. Host was very responsive and welcoming. Will definitely return!

The home, the location, the amenities and the view were way more than we expected! The homes layout perfectly accommodated two families with plenty of space and privacy. We only left the home once!! There was no reason to leave since we were RIGHT ON THE BEACH! The pool and hot tub were great as well!We celebrated Thanksgiving here and the kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything we needed to prepare a huge meal.We experienced a couple of minor maintenance issues and they were taken care of immediately!We highly recommend this property and hope to return!!

The Best

No beach cover up needed here. Stroll out the front door and you are on the beach. There should be no hesitation in renting this listing. It was fabulous.

Heck of a view

We loved the location and the elevator in particular was essential for my elderly father to get around. Wish the outdoor porch was covered so we could have sat outside during the storm but otherwise all was great.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that the location was perfect for your stay and that the elevator was helpful for your father.

The entire stay was amazing! We cooked home every night, we didn’t want to leave, The kitchen was very well stocked. The elevator for my elderly mother was great. Enjoyed how we could control the ac temp. It was so comfortable. It was a private beach area. The beach is your driveway. Sunset was incredible every evening. Everything is in walking distance. Grocery, drug store, Mexican, Chinese, Nails, Souvenirs, hardware store plus more. Do not hesitate to book this place!

Gorgeous bright home!

Our family of five had a fantastic stay at this beachfront home. It was clean, well equipped and such a happy spot to settle in for a week. We enjoyed sunsets from the balcony and easy access to beach and pool. The kids could run back and forth to their liking which was ideal. Highly recommend this home! Elevator was a hit w the little one too!
