Beautiful property with outstanding view. The sunsets are amazing. The only thing that was could use improvement was simple things like the toilet paper was just 2 roles for a 4 bedroom house and no extras at all. No beach chairs, beach towels, kitchen items like spices, foil, etc… all the other house we have rented had these items, so just plan accordingly. That is such a minor thing though. We would 100% stay and the home is awesome!

We loved our stay at Uncle Ed’s oceanfront beach house. it was perfect for our family of five. The room and common areas were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The ocean and beach views were absolutely beautiful, and being just steps from the sand made the whole trip feel effortless.The weather was great during our two days there, so we spent a lot of time swimming and walking along the beach. Our 10‑year‑old especially loved it and kept wanting to go back out throughout the day. It was such a nice place for kids to enjoy safely.The host was very responsive and accommodating to our requests, which made the stay even smoother. Check‑out was simple, and the house had all the amenities we needed.Overall, this is a wonderful oceanfront property — peaceful, convenient, and family‑friendly. We definitely plan to book again for our next stay.
