A Perfect Weekend Escape at the Beach

This location is simply unbeatable. The beach is just a short walk, right outside your door. Plenty of things do within walking distance. The host is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. This is my second time renting this property, and I can confidently say I will keep coming back!

We had a great stay. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach and short commutes to local commodities. The house was clean as well. We could not have asked for a better stay.

Location, location, location

This property is in an excellent location within walking distance to everything. We all felt that the property could have been a bit cleaner. Our host did respond immediately to our complaint of many drain flies with a visit from an exterminator. The beach chairs supplied leave a lot to be desired, camp chairs just don't work in the sand. We enjoyed our stay and probably would return here.

Great location

Beach access was steps away from our door and the unit was super nice! A bit tight if you have a the full capacity but worth it for the location by far! Washer and dryer being full size was a definite plus and being provided back up towels and veil is beach supplies was great especially since we were from far away.
