I stayed here with my family of all ages and we truly had an amazing time. It was cold several days and we loved the fire pit and benches in the backyard. We made smores on the cold days. The porch swings were also extremely nice and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.
Had some housekeeping issues upon arrival. Host responded promptly. Communications with him were always good.Hot tub definitely a plus. Don't forget to bring matches, charcoal or wood if you want to use the grill or fire pit (we forgot the matches!).All in all a good stay and we would definitely be OK returning.
This cabin was perfect for our family. Having the 4 bedrooms meant each of our kids and their family had their own room. The beach toys were a big hit with the grandkids and having the wagon and chairs was a hit with the adults lol. The deck was so nice to sit outside and just visit. Celebrating my 60th birthday with all my family around was perfect.we were all very comfortable and felt at home. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!!!
This place was comfortable, clean and the owners were extremely hospitable and accommodating. The washer had broken before we arrived and the owners did everything they could to get it replaced. When the replacement didn’t work, they were extremely apologetic and brought us more clean towels. Great distance to the beach, loved the deck and downstairs patio. My family really enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay here again.

WAS NOT CLEAN & HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THE OWNERS
I rented Nicholas beach home for my birthday gathering. We arrived at the schedule time & the house was totally dirty. EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE WAS DIRTY, YES EVERY ROOM WAS DIRTY. I got in touch with Nicholas and he called over someone to clean the house.
When we got back from eating dinner, the house was half clean cause the BED WAS MADE AND THE LINENS WAS NOT CHANGE, YES I MEANT THEY FIXED THE BED WITH THE SAME DIRTY LINENS. THERE WERE HAIRS IN 2 BEDS, CHIPS IN THE BED, PEE OR WHATEVER IT WAS ON THE SHEETS & BEDSPREADS. WE STARTED WASHING ALL THE LINENS. THE REFRIGERATOR HAD FOOD LEFT INSIDE & WAS NOT WIPED CLEAN. I haven't heard from him, but I will NOT stop until I get my money back. I am taking him to court & will put a lien on his property. TRUST & BELIEVE I AM TELLING A 100% TRUT

Thank you for your stay. Our home is thoroughly cleaned between guests. This guest did not communicate any issues after our housekeeper cleaned the property. Unfortunately we cannot address concerns unless we are notified. We take all concerns from guests seriously and do our best to address any concerns as soon as possible.
Super easy check in. It has everything that you could possibly need. Great location and easy access to the beach. Owners communication was great. Would recommend.
This house is perfect weather it be for work or family vacation. Our stay was for work. This house is super nice, and we will rent again when it is available on our next trip down. Nicholas Miner was great with communicating. If you have a question or need something all you have to do is call Nicholas and he will get what you need or answer your question.
We had a wonderful time… owners were quick to respond throughout the the entire process.
