Cozy Beach House

Our family enjoyed our stay in this cozy little beach house. The location was fabulous. Beach was easy to access. Host is responsive and does a fantastic job keeping home clean and stocked with all of the necessities plus some. We have visited this area for over 15 years and this home is now one of our new favorites. Looking forward to future trips!

Absolutely loved staying here. The house was nice and the owner made sure there were extras available (toothbrushes, Q-Tips, soaps, etc.) in case you forgot something. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. Perfect week!!

Perfect spring break spot!

We really enjoyed this comfortable home. The houses on the street are close together, yet it was very quiet and peaceful around us. We chose to drive when going to the beach, just because of the stuff we like to bring along with us. Happy times for our family including our 13 years old dog!

Hosts were amazing. Property was super convenient to everything. Having the 2 beach chairs and umbrella was a very nice perk. Not having to lug those things to the beach was great. The host was extremely responsive and helpful with everything! Thank you!

Cozy home and vacation community in an excellent location

We were excited that when we arrived that the home exceeded out expectations. The house is lovely; the hosts were exceptional and it was so nice to bring our four legged kids with us for a change. The community is perfectly located between 98 and the beach, within walking distance to a private beach and a short drive to groceries, entertainment and restaurants galore. Can't wait to return again next year! Thanks Jessica!

It's was great, only concern was the a/c, the house never did get below 70, but it was also 100 outside. Was still comfortable. Thanks for everything.
