Perfect beach getaway! House was absolutely beautiful, very clean with lots of places for family to gather & just steps from the beach. Beautiful ocean views from inside and out. The host was phenomenal, she thought of everything even provided beach towels & everything needed for a day at the beach! We loved every minute of our stay! I highly recommend this property & will book again!

Our stay was so effortless. The booking and communication with host was great.The house was adorable. It was super clean. The kitchen was stocked with lots of extras which made cooking so easy. The beds were comfortable. The couch was cozy and we had plenty of room to hang out. It was literally a few steps from the beach and there were great views of the water from the house and deck. Would definitely stay again!

This stay was wonderful. It is so close to the beach literally just steps, it is in an area that is away from the hectic traffic on and off the beach that it made it so stress free and relaxing. Had one issue that we caused and the host was wonderful about it. She is very good at communicating when it is needed. The house totally fit our needs. Thank you so much!!

The house was wonderful! Very clean and well stocked. There were plenty of extra beach toys downstairs and cooking supplies in the kitchen, though you may want to bring Tupperware if you’re wanting to store food. Plenty of glass and plastic dishes. We had three families and the division of the rooms was perfect for our crew with kids ages 4, 5, and 8. The beach is just a few steps away and very quiet. The kids really enjoyed the nook in the master bedroom with the twin trundle beds. It took us a hot minute to figure out how to turn on the master shower (it was us, it’s not hard) but the host was very responsive. We would absolutely stay again :)

Proximity to the beach was perfect with three small children, and the big boys loved the bunk room nook. We had a great time!

Great family place!

Grandchildren approved! Short walk to the beach and a great view of the water from the deck! It was stocked better than any rental we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you for sharing this beach home with us.
