We had a great stay at this property. Everything you need is in the kitchen. The weather was not too good when we got there but we knew there was a storm due. Unfortunately, we lost power but it wasn’t for long. Highly recommend! Oh and a fabulous beach really close by.

Relaxation

The house is very clean, well stocked and the views are breathtaking. Spent the whole week on the porch overlooking the waves and it was a much needed relaxing get away for our family celebrating Thanksgiving.

The perfect home for sunrises :)

House clean and well-kept, fully equipped with all amenities. Great location for fishing trips. Close to the beach and walking areas. Beautiful view from the terrace of the bay. I recommend for a meeting with friends and a family vacation.

Beautiful View

Everything about this was beautiful! Wake up every morning and all you see is ocean views. The place itself is very clean and updated. We spent hours just sitting on the deck taking in the ocean air and watching the waves. Highly recommend if you're looking for relaxation.

Best view ever! Place was very clean and easily accessible. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of space. No issues with wi-fi connection and everything was in working order. Ate at Blue Water Drift…less than 2 miles up. Wow! Food was so good and huge portions, we were not expecting that! It is a must go! Rental company was great! No complaints here…our stay was awesome.

The check in process will not leave any room for wiggle room at all- after paying 4,xxx for the stay I figured there would be a few minutes to where we could check in at least a half hour early but NOPE. The property itself was simply amazing however! Our two boys had the room/play room upstairs, the girls (3 of them) took the 3 bed bunk room, the husband and I had our room then his parents had their own rooms! Then the kitchen is great! Just make sure to take your own spices- there was none of that in the kitchen. That is one of the major differences between this house & others we’ve rented… :( also no throw blankets, no book to sign & speak of our trip in (we really like those in the others we have stayed in!), and you’re limited to 2 loads of washing per day- which with 9 people was a bit tedious to juggle. However, again, the location helped smooth things over- it was stormy some days & overall was a good stay- hearing the waves crashing right below us was amazing to wake up to every morning :)

Thank you for the 10/10 rating and for sharing such thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad the home, layout, kitchen, and especially that incredible beachfront setting made for a great family stay. Waking up to the sound of the waves is hard to beat! We’ll absolutely pass your suggestions along to the owner regarding spices, throw blankets, and the laundry guidelines. Guest feedback is one of the best ways to help owners decide where little touches can make an already great home even better. Just to clarify the early check-in piece, we completely understand wanting a few extra minutes after investing in a special family vacation. The issue wasn’t that we wouldn’t allow an early check-in. Since you asked well in advance, we simply couldn’t promise a specific early arrival time because we wouldn’t yet know whether another guest would be checking out that same day. We have to wait until the day of check-in to confirm whether the home is vacant, cleaned, inspected, and ready ahead of schedule. We’re delighted that, despite the stormy weather and a few of the little things, the home and location helped make your stay a memorable one. We’d love to have your family back for more wave sounds and hopefully a little more sunshine next time!

Wonderful place

Our family of 6 stayed for 4 days! It was absolutely amazing. Make sure to bring extra trash bags and bug spray!!!! We enjoyed just being together, sitting on the deck each morning! It is rocky getting to the beach but we managed. It felt like our own private beach during the week! It did get busier on the weekend. The fire pit at night time was perfect. This house was exactly what we wanted. I’m so glad we picked it.

Ideal location

Super location! Rocks are large but if you dont want to walk over them there are open beach areas very close. We saw cool wildlife from lots of crabs to even dolphins the last day we stayed! House setup and kitchen items were great! Loft was fun for our kids. The only thing that was a bit bothersome was the blinds on the door. Impossible to use the handle without hitting the blind. We had a great family vacation!
