This house was a great space for our family of 8. We loved the pool. The grassy area was great for our dog and it was an easy neighborhood to walk in. The house had everything we needed and the owners were excellent with communicating.

We’ve stayed at this house several times. It’s on a quiet street while still close to the beach (a couple minutes drive with all your stuff). You can see the ocean from the top balcony - a great spot to enjoy morning coffee. Enjoyed the pool, hot tub, napped in the hammock - it was a fun and relaxing week.

I just feel in love with this beach house. It has everything one might need and much more. Great communication with host. The only my regret was having to leave the island and beach house. Everyone was very accommodating and friendly on the island as well. It truly was an amazing time at beach house celebrating my girlfriend’s bachelorette getaway!

It means a lot to know the home had everything you needed and that communication was a positive part of your stay.

Plenty of room for our big crew of five adults, three kids and a baby. They even had a high chair and pack and play! The dogs were also very impressed with their beds Would defiantly recommend
