Lovely home with amazing views. It was so nice just being steps from the beach, and the kids also really enjoyed the pool! This home is far enough away from the main attraction area that you get peace & quiet, no crowded beaches. And only a 5-10 min drive to restaurants & amenities. We spent our days swimming & playing on the beach, and our nights grilling & playing all the board games stocked in the living room. Made some great memories here & hope to stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this house! The boardwalk, elevator, double island counters, the view, pool, and all the appliances were so handy. We had a double red flag week while we were there so it was nice with our kids to be able to use the pool! We loved it so much we booked for next year. Can't wait to come back!

The lay out of the house worked out perfect for our family. The elevator access was a nice feature for my grandfather. The direct beach access was our favorite feature! We had a great stay.

The home is lovely. It was a quiet area which we enjoyed. The spacious kitchen and living area accommodated all 10 of us. It was enjoyable to sit on the deck and listen to the ocean. The boardwalk to the beach was very helpful. The elevator made it easier to transfer luggage. All 3 generations were happy!

Great location. The house was clean and so enjoyable. The kitchen was amazing with ice maker 2 islands 2 sinks 2 dishwashers we had 2 families 9 people 5 kids 4-17. All had space to spread out and have a good time. The pool was such a plus. The beach access was perfect. Porch sitting at night listening to the waves is such a dream. Early morning sunrise views. We saw dolphins every morning down at the beach. The only negatives were the elevator didn’t work until the last day. I didn’t see the full description that the top floor is private so I did miss getting that high view from the top deck and that the neighbors across the street do use the boardwalk for beach access. It was in the description I just missed it . It wasn’t a problem though. Great place for a large family or 2. Hope to return

We had a wonderful stay at "Dear Time". The home is beautiful and worked great for our family vacation. The kitchen was very well stocked! The garbage service is a great addition. The elevator was a lifesaver for a mobility impaired family member.

Must stay

Everything about our stay was incredible. From a seamless check-in, to the house itself, everything was exactly what we were looking for. Being on the beach, in a house with great sized rooms, the best kitchen, and a pool, we couldn’t go wrong. We are already looking at what week we want to book next summer at this same house. Highly recommend!
