This was a perfect property for our 3 families. The kids had a lot of space to play and the 2 balconies were a plus. There was a lot more dishes, glasses, pot and pans, etc. in excellent condition, a lot more than any other property we have stayed at.

This is a fabulous house right on the beach. We were 3 older couples-the family reunion at this house was so relaxing with all of us sitting on the deck soaking in the beach, waves and birds. We cooked all our meals. The kitchen is well stocked for making anything. The living room area is generously sized and we had room for everyone. The beds are comfortable and having our own bathrooms was wonderful. Couldn't recommend it high enough. Crystal is very responsive and easy to get hold of.

All aspects of our stay were fantastic! The house is beautiful and it had everything that we needed. It didn’t hurt that we experienced near perfect weather with clear blue skies and temperatures in the 70s. Just perfect to enjoy on the spacious decks that the house offered.

The location of this property is great - facing the beach and on the street across from the Big Store. We also love that it is not in a crowded area. It is on a nice size lot, and there is an empty lot next door. There are essentially 4 suites, so everyone in our group gets their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances and utensils. The host is easy to work with. She provides good instructions, and is prompt to respond to questions. Most of the windows face the beach, so you can see the waves while cooking, while watching TV, whatever. It has an available elevator which is the only way my disabled husband can stay in a beach house. This was our second stay. We didn't see the point in staying somewhere else, when we know that this house was perfect for our needs!

Host was very responsive and supportive. House was in good repair and clean. Had everything we needed. Towels were provided but we had to hunt for them. Finally found them in an upstairs bathroom in the drawers of all places. View is best on the beach. Great furniture and beds. Beautiful beautiful house with plenty of room to host a whole family. Elevator was a perfect amenity for our aging guests. Perfect location on the island. Highly recommend.

50th birthday Getaway

This is our second time at the property and it will always be our place of choice when we want to go back. What drew my attention was the elevator option but even if we didn’t need that, the place combined with beachfront location will always draw me back.

Amazing time with the family beach front!

We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and had an amazing experience. The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach with stunning views and easy access to the sand. The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay.Our host was awesome—super responsive and helpful with any questions we had before and during the trip. It’s clear they care about making guests feel welcome.We definitely plan to come back. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachfront getaway!

Graduation Celebration

A few days away to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college. It was the perfect space for my family to spend time together. The accommodations were excellent and the space had every amenity needed for our stay. It was perfectly set right next to the beach which made for marvelous sunrises and scenery. Would definitely book again!

The house is very nicely appointed. The layout of the bedrooms was especially perfect with one large master on the main floor, and 3 additional bedrooms upstairs all with doors opening onto the large upper deck. All the bedrooms have wonderful unobstructed views of the ocean and their own bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of extra pillows. The elevator was critical in being able to assist my elderly, frail parents up to the house and down to the beach. It was lovely even with the less than stellar weather. Crystal was extremely responsive with every inquiry. We had a wonderful time.
