Perfect family getaway!

This place was perfect for our yearly trip to celebrate my son who would be turning 10. The location was great with so many places in walking distance (helpful with all the paid parking around) and the beach so close!! The house was set up for us to eat as a family and not feel cramped! There were little things that showed they cared- coffee and creamer with some small snacks for us, the kids, and the dogs! Will definitely consider this place for next year when we come celebrate my son’s would be 11th birthday!

All you need

It really is a minute walk to the beach and a short walk to all the shopping and restaurants.This place has everything you need. It is very comfortable and very clean. The owners provided many extras, in case you forgot to bring something. My bed was very comfortable. It has a nice, full kitchen and dining area and a comfortable sitting area. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute property; great location

We enjoyed our stay! The property is in the perfect location with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and the boardwalk. The hosts communicated quickly and instructions for check in and check out were clear and easy to follow. I think the only area of improvement would be more detailed cleaning. The wall/window above the master bed was dusty and the master shower curtain and rings were rusty. I wish we could give an overall stay of 4.5 stars because everything else was great. I will say the property is close to a couple of bars/restaurants which is convenient, but some of them do have loud night life that at times went late into the night. We weren't bothered by it and our kids went to sleep easily with the noise, but it might be something some people need to take into consideration.

Notes to future travelers: There is easy access to the board walk which can be used in lieu of the street to walk out for access to businesses. Malama Cafe has great coffee and breakfast/lunch sandwiches, there is easy access via the boardwalk. Crush and Grind Coffee is also easy to get to via the boardwalk. Publix Grocery is 3 minutes away by car. Several restaurants are within walking distance. Bring a plastic table cloth to cover the deck picnic table.
