Great location. Wonderful master bedroom comfy pillows and mattress along with a big shower area. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We used the outside grill quite often. The screen in back porch was nice after the day at the beach.

This is my 4th or 5th stay here. It’s very comfortable for my family. Host is very responsive and accommodating, and the PM is great. Distance to beach is fine. Walkable to some shopping, putt putt, restaurants. We love staying here. The ONLY thing that gives me a fit is the lighting in the bathroom, but my eyes aren’t the youngest anymore! Bedding is comfy. Furnishings are clean and comfy. I’m not boujee and don’t need the extra, but I am super particular on cleanliness. Obviously it’s good because we keep coming back!

This was the perfect house for our family of 4 and our dogs for our Spring Break trip! Great central location with walkable distances to shops, restaurants and a quick 5 min walk to the beach yet tucked in on a quiet street. Nice updates throughout the house with a beautiful master bedroom and shower. The owner is very thoughtful for her guests and was easy to communicate with. We hope to visit again in the Fall! Thank you!

Great Spot Close to the Beach

We had a really nice stay at this house. It was just a few minute walk to the beach, which made it easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The neighborhood was very quiet. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable for our stay. Would definitely consider staying here again.
