My family enjoyed staying in the Ocean Pearl. Excellent communication with the hosts. The layout of the house is nice for large groups. We enjoyed ourselves and had a relaxing time.
Lovely beach house that has a fresh and clean modern look inside! Well stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. Open floorplan so everyone staying could move around and not be on top of one another.
Everything was great! they gave recommendations on a place to eat(couldn't go it was Being remodeled). Had a great view for sunsets. walking distance to beach access. would definitely stay here again
This place was adorable. It was perfect for us for Easter! We stayed 10 days and hosted an Easter brunch. We had plenty of dishes, silver and glasses. They even had really cute serving dishes and platters! Loved having three outside areas to hang out. Loved being able to bring the dogs, too! Great Place!!
We had a great stay! The house decor was beautiful and updated, well stocked. There is a great outdoor patio/porch with great seating and breeze in the evening! The hosts checked in with us and made recommendations for the area. The walk to the beach is longer (for kids and all their stuff. That wasn’t a problem once we realized we could park on the beach! The passes are only $10 and you can buy them on the beach! They are good for the whole year. We hope to make this an annual trip!
Overall location was fantastic to beach and stores/restaurants. The house was in great condition. Only issue was bugs. There were ants on the inside in both kitchen and bathrooms. The downstairs area outside was unusable due to the level of mosquitos. Would recommend the property have some sort of repellant process and a way to get rid of ants.
This property is awesome, really nice on the inside and out. And the location/proximity to the beach is good, really a piece of cake walking distance. On the inside of the house, the kitchen and bathrooms are well-equipped with everything you need for your stay. There are also two really cool outdoor areas - one on the house level with solid seating and hang-out space, with the view of the neighborhood and even a little of the ocean in the distance. The other is a great set up outside/below the house for fun and games and again great hang-out space. The owners really spared nothing to ensure this property provides an enjoyable experience - they even included the use of their personal items, like ample chairs, some fun outdoor games (ladder ball, cornhole, etc), and in case needed...extra boogie boards and extra towels.
A+ experience!
The house was nice but we had to leave early since we lost internet during the last part of the week. The host sends automatic messages but did not reply to a phone call, txt, or emails. We requested a refund for two nights, but as the host was completely avoiding all channels of communication, we did not hear back. It is a shameful hosting. Absolutely, not recommended
We loved staying in this beautiful pristine home! It exceeded expectations! The beds are so comfortable, balconies make for relaxing outdoor enjoyment and was a short walk to the ocean. The owners were immediately responsive, too.
Owner was easy to contact and interact with when needed. Place was 5 stars all around
