Great property with numerous ocean views!! The front two bedrooms have sliding doors leading to the bottom deck which is literally right on the ocean. The den/kitchen area also has sliding doors leading to an upper deck which has a spectacular view of sunrise and sunset over the ocean. Both decks have latched gates for safety of little ones or furry ones.

Location was what we wanted and it was perfect. The only negative was the internet and TV were unusable. We called the realty folks and they said it's normal anywhere on the island, however, we found Starbucks and other commercial users had fast and reliable connections. Not a deal breaker, but we had brought our Roku device and were looking forward to using it. Otherwise, nice stay and loved having a selection of books available.

Great beach house!

We loved our stay at Armstrong. The layout of the house is great. It has a nice open layout in the main living area. It's dog friendly with gates on the decks. The beds were very comfortable. We have no complaints and plan to return next year.

The home was very nice and being on the beach made it even nicer. The beds were very comfortable and having a bathroom upstairs was great. We saw dolphins everyday while we were swimming!

Charming oceanfront home!

Our family of 6 + 2 dogs loved our stay. Some of our favorite things were the oceanfront vistas from many rooms, outdoor shower, dog friendly gated decks, and thoughtful amenities like robe/towel hooks in every room and well-stocked kitchen! One of the best beach houses we have ever been to!

Great house and wonderful location

The location is wonderful - right on the beach and it's a pretty quiet part of the beach. Very comfortable place for my family with two young children. Loved the decks and the outdoor shower is very spacious and convenient. The master bathroom is very small and the shower in there is tiny, so we ended up using the outdoor shower for all of our showers. The kitchen could be a little bit better stocked with storage bowls and things like ziplocks and trash bags. Overall though we really loved the house and had a great trip there.

Stunning views!!

Delightful oceanfront vacation! We brought our elderly mother and two dogs for a memorable respite. Will definitely return. All the comforts of home and easy beach access. Stellar sunrises!!!! Accessible to everything but far enough to be private and quiet. Already planning our return!

Fur friendly beach house

Overall the house was great for our stay with our 15 year old lab mix. The property manager stayed in touch with us and tried to answer all our questions and concerns but didn’t resolve them all. Being a beach house, the property smelled musty when we first arrived so we opened it up and sprayed air freshener. We also informed them that the oven had not been cleaned. Otherwise it was a nice place to vacation. Spaces were as shown. They do not have a good grill.

Off Season but On the mark

Immediate access to the beach with no need to haul all your stuff in one go. This property makes sunrise walks on the beach easy. The decks are where you will spend all of your time, though the couches also provide a comfy view. There are gates on all levels, which made traveling with two dogs comfortable--they could lounge on the top deck and enjoy the sniffs. We made a couple meals in the kitchen. I would recommend taking stock prior to cooking, as you may be in need of something specific that is not there. An adequate quantity of linens/towels were provided. We made use of the laundry, and everything worked well. Outdoor shower was lovely. We would definitely book here again.

Fantastic location and view

This property is very well situated directly on the beach. The location is excellent, and the property has everything you really need. Armstrong was perfectly priced for our vacation. The outside deck was in great condition with all the amenities you need for the beach. We stayed in February, so the beach was quiet without a lot of foot traffic. We had a very relaxing getaway. We use Vacasa at least once per year. Most of the properties we stay at have been wonderful, with a few areas that can use a touch up. The good: Everything works. No problems with wifi, appliances, doors, locks, etc. The views are outstanding. The outside decks and stairs are in good condition and feel very safe. The beds were very comfortable with TV's in the rooms for those that need the TV to fall asleep. There are plenty of utensils and everything you need to cook and serve a meal. The views from the living area are great. Amazing window coverage of the beach to see the sun rise and the moon shine across the water at night. The not so good. The bathrooms and bedrooms are a bit small, but very functional. The master bathroom has a very tight shower, and the shower head could use an upgrade. Other than that this place is perfect. Thanks for hosting us.
