Peaceful & Wonderful stay!

This is a great property for an easy, peaceful and comfortable trip. We had 4 adults and 3 small children. Everyone had plenty of space and all had a great stay. It is well stocked- it even has box fans and baby gate for a great nights sleep, nice kitchen stocked, and beach items! The golf cart is worth the rental as it made it fun to cruise the neighborhood and a quick drive to the ocean. We will stay here again!

Private Pool Dog Friendly

Ideal property if you are traveling with extended family, friends or pets. This duplex is rented as one unit. It’s a nice blend of privacy and connection. There is an internal door connecting the two units. We enjoyed the pool and walking in the neighborhood. Our favorite spot on the property was the fire pit in the natural surroundings of the oak trees. Beautiful natural wooded beach habitat that you rarely see anymore.
