The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Beautiful kitchen and great a/c that kept the house very cool even in July plus convenient access to the beach. The host was very responsive the entire visit - Would definitely stay again when in the area.
We had a nice, enjoyable stay at the Bee-ch Hive Bungalow. Everything was as described... very clean, a well equipped kitchen, nicely decorated and right across the street from the beach. Hope we can come back again!
You can walk to the beach in 2 minutes! It’s a wonderful, clean, newly remodeled house. You can sit on the deck and see the water or walk to it. We loved being so close! Host is attentive and friendly!
We had an incredible stay at the hive. The property is beautiful, directly across from beach access. The deck is perfect for morning coffee/breakfast and stargazing in the evening. Hammock is perfect for naps and relaxing during the heat of the day. Beds are very comfortable. Ac keeps the house very cool. Updated appliances. Claire is very responsive and quick to answer questions. Added an extra day to our stay with ease. Very safe location. Privacy was no issue with this home. Spaced beautifully with grassy/ sandy areas on both sides of home, Neighbors are friendly. Close to delicious restaurants. Beach is well cared for. Hands down 10/10.
The location of the Beehive couldn’t be better. All you do is walk across the street to the beach. The house is quite comfy. The decor is very nice. Beds are comfy. Outdoor shower is marvelous. The only drawback is the lack of an ice maker. You just have to get bags of ice or keep up with the ‘old timey’ trays. But really, if that’s the only drawback you’re still living high on the hog. The kitchen is well equipped. Water pressure in the shower is perfect. Never ran out of hot water. You really couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. I would rent again! Thank you!

Our family of four had a wonderful stay in this cozy dome!! The layout was perfect for me, my husband and two teens. The kids loved the easy access to the beach!! Beach access is directly across the street, which is not a heavily travelled road. This stretch of beach is very private and quite comfortable without feeling crowded!
Claire was delightful to communicate with and we look forward to staying in her home again in the future. I would definitely recommend this home for a relaxing trip by the beach!!
We had a wonderful stay at the Bee-ch Hive Bungalow! The house was clean and well appointed and practically beachfront. The neighborhood and beach are quiet yet we were still only minutes away from restaurants. We had the beach to ourselves the whole stay. The outdoor shower was a big help after the beach, and we loved to eat breakfast with the patio doors open. Claire made booking a breeze and gave us a lot of helpful information about the area. We can’t wait to stay at the Bee-ch Hive again!
Claire was so great to deal with, anything we needed, she was quick to respond! Cannot say enough about the property… everything was spotless upon arrival & property was even better in person. Cannot wait to come back & enjoy the beach again next year!
The beach was very close, only a short walk out to the water, however the property also has a very nice deck and covered area with a hammock where you can enjoy the ocean breeze as well. The house was nicely appointed with a well stocked kitchen. We would definitely rent again.
We had a great trip! The house is very cute, the deck is amazing for relaxing. The walk to the beach is very short with the access just across the street. Communication with the owner was very easy, all in all a good experience.
We had a great time! The property was wonderful.
We enjoyed being so close to the beach. We were able to setup our spot on the beach and travel back and forth from the house with ease thought the day. Because we were so close to the beach we were able to enjoy it at all times of the day. We enjoyed the beautiful mornings as well as sunsets and starry skies. One morning we saw a pod of dolphins and most days the water was so clear we were able to snorkel just off a sand bar and see all sorts of fish.
The weather was perfect so we didn't spend much time indoors. It would have been a bit tight for our family of 7 to spend lots of time in the house. Because of the pandemic we did all of our own cooking at the house. We had everything we needed as far as pots and pans go. This house is not a "lived in" home and didn't have any spices or seasonings. Also be prepared to bring your own TP, trash bags, dishwasher soap, etc.
There were lots of extra beach supplies left at the house. Chairs, boards, umbrellas, etc. Check before you go and buy anything new.
With all that being said...
We can't wait to find time to go back and enjoy this wonderful home and location.
Had a great time! Location to beach is perfect. Our kids enjoyed playing on the shaded patio under house during the heat of the day. We enjoyed picnics and the hammock. We didn’t spend much time in the house, but when we did it was very nice and comfy. The beds were wonderful and the kids loved their own loft space. The hit of the trip was the outdoor shower, the kids thought that was the best thing ever. Very beach friendly home for families. Even a few toys and chairs available to use.
Coming from Texas, this was just perfect for our family of 4 and were very pleased. Wish we could’ve stayed a few more nights, but it was booked solid.
My husband and I went there with 5 other friends for the 4th of July weekend. The house was in a perfect location, the beach was not crowded since only those living in the nearby homes went to the beach. We had our own spot and the next group were several feet away from us. The home is near some restaurants, if someone is wanting to eat out. The home itself was very cute and perfect for the 7 of us. It did not feel crowded, and many of the other guests said it looked bigger than the photos. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower never ran out of hot water. The beach entrance was right across the street and you could hear the waves from the balcony. We would definitely recommend to anyone!
Our stay here was great. Although it started with a pretty bad storm, it turned out Fantastic. There was a small leak with the double doors after the storm but the owner was quick to get someone out to fix it. Her care & concern for her guests didn’t go unnoticed. We’ve been vacationing in the area every year for about 6 years and this was by far the best one. It’s a great house with everything you will need for your vacation. The loft was the perfect space for my 4 teens. We loved the location. It’s so close to the beach with access right across the street & at a great price! We had a blast and will definitely try to get this place again in the future.
My family loved the Bee-ch Hive Bungalow! It was a beautiful home, so close to the beach that you won't mind the short walk across the street to get there. We had everything we needed: Sun, sand, ocean, chairs, big kitchen, wildlife, relaxation and great food nearby. The owner was amazing to work with and quick with responses. Overall a successful family vacation that was much needed by all. Thank you for sharing this very pretty beach house!!! I miss it already.
This was a quick post quarantine get away for us. Great experience, location, and house! This house is so cute. Loved sitting on patio and seeing the beach. Water access right in front and very short walk to the beach. Hammock was a hit for the kids.
This was the perfect beach house for my family! It was clean and comfortable, and Claire was great to work with. We will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property
This property is in a great location. The house is a geodesic dome home that has such a comforting feel. Literally, everyone that enters this house comments about how it is such a great property. I can relax on the large deck all day, staring at the ocean and listening to the soothing sounds of the waves. If you take the few steps to the beach access you will find uncrowded, family friendly, pristine white sands. Get your fill for the day and you are back to the house in minutes. We have a few restaurants within a few minutes drive or you can cooked in an ample sized, well stocked kitchen. A beach vacation just doesn't get more convenient than this.
