We really enjoyed our stay! The home is beautiful, clean, and the view of the ocean from all of the porches was lovely. Great location to beach access. The home is family friendly, and the elevator very helpful. We traveled with our teen children and an elderly grandparent. We enjoyed using the beach chairs and equipment. Our host, Bonnie, was very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

We’re so glad the elevator helped out with your grandparents. So nice for them to have a great view of the ocean with minimal effort!

This was a great stay, amazing amenities, and you can see the ocean from almost all windows! If not, then you can see from the balconies! There are 4 bathrooms (3 of them fulls baths, and 2 of the full baths are jack and jill, so keep that in mind if you plan to stay at full capacity- we did not have much issue with 10 of us until we all came back from the beach and wanted showers.) there are beach chairs and umbrellas provided, updated kitchenware and an elevator! 10/10, would book again!

Thank you for a great review! And appreciating the many ocean views and facilities. The outdoor shower also helps when returning from the beach. Glad you used the beach chairs and umbrella to enjoy the beach during your stay. Come see us again sometime! We’d love to have you stay with us again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Location was great, short walk to the beach and the views form the upper deck were awesome. The house was very nice with plenty of room for everyone and very well set up, including the kitchen which was well stocked. The only thing we would say is that the description made it sound like the beach chairs and “wagon” were going to be nicer than they were. The chairs were rusty and the wagon was more like a cart, we brought our own so not a problem. We also had an issue with the outdoor lights not working in the parking area, but the owner came over and set up some make shift lighting until they can get it fixed. Great communication from the owners.
