We absolutely loved our stay! The location is perfect and beautiful views. The house has everything you need and was clean. I will say the listing photos need to be updated. The house has been painted and the furniture is different. But that didn’t affect anything as far as functionality and all of that. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect family beach house

This was the most ideal beach house for my family! Everything was exactly as pictured, the washer and dryer were excellent, and the kitchen was well stocked. Most importantly, the beach (which was very spacious) and the ocean were right outside the door. Thank you for the most lovely stay!

Check-in was super easy. House was very clean . The Wi-Fi password needs correcting on the refrigerator and in the living room beside the tv. We found the correct password beside the upstairs tv. We have stayed here several times and already looking forward to next year. Thanks

This is a very nice duplex with everything we needed, including towels, potholders, cookware and dishes. The upstairs balcony has a wonderful view and it helped that the weather was beautiful, 80s and 90's. We woud rent this again.
