We stayed here for a week and absolutely enjoyed this home. My family of 4 and our friend’s family of 4 both shared this home. It is big enough to house 4 upstairs and four downstairs. The house was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning is only in the rooms but kept the rooms very cold and comfortable. The beach view is beautiful. We loved the outdoor patio and yard. It was very private and quiet. Communication with our host was good. We enjoyed our time at this home and would book again.

The house is in a beautiful location, however, for what we paid, the house itself was subpar. The furnishings were old and lacked much to be desired. The only place to sit inside was an outdoor couch that moved apart every time it was sit on and hard chairs at a stable or hard stools. The couch was very frustrating. There was not any place indoor our outdoor to cozy up after a day at the beach.Everything was old and outdated. In comparison to our previous stays, the location was great but the house was a 1 star. It was beyond hot in the home when we arrived and running all air that night, it did not cool down until 5am. It was hot inside the house 95% of the time. Cleanliness was just ok. I feel like if the owner put in a little effort for some updates, that would make this home so much better to stay at.Overall, the host was great, cleanliness was ok, home lacked in many areas and needs major updates. I would choose to not stay at this particular home again. There are many more for the same price range that offers much more. If location is what you are looking for, this home is in a great location.

Fantastic property. Beautiful beach front setting. Communication with host was seamless. Convenient to multiple North Shore beaches. Property amenities were satisfactory to our family needs (6 total). One thing to be aware of is that the living room is furnished with outdoor/deck furniture (functional, just not comfortable) rather than traditional indoor pieces. The property could benefit from additional bureaus or dressers for clothing storage. Would definitely stay at this property again!
Nice double rainbow our last day at the property

Absolutely Amazing Stay! We had the most incredible time! The location is unbeatable, right on the beach with stunning sunsets and direct access to the ocean. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing spot, truly perfect for unwinding. The house itself was wonderful, clean, and comfortable.A few small improvements would make it even better: a gas grill and a small beach cooler. But honestly, those were tiny details compared to how perfect the stay was overall. We’re already counting down the days until we can come back. Highly recommend this beautiful, AMAZING, beachfront home!

Very beautiful ocean view and a daily chicken parade!

The view was spectacular! Nothing more relaxing than sitting in the back deck and taking in the waves. It also was 5 minutes away from The Ritz, which has a nice beach for swimming. We also loved the parade of chickens that would come through the backyard in the morning!
