Amazing Property

The house was perfect for a weekend getaway, clean and comfortable for 4 adults and 2 teenagers, with a short walk down a pathway to the beach and a park with a play structure. The house is about 5 minutes away from coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. Definitely would stay here again.

Great location near beach

The location is lovely near the beach, but the property is a little tired and could do with some maintenance, which I shared with the property manager. Cleanliness was ok, but did feel like the house had not been occupied for a while. Location is super quiet.

Cute Place!

We especially loved the cozy back patio off the dining room. Living room & master bedroom especially well decorated & spacious. Kitchen thoughtfully furnished although we couldn’t get the oven figured out. We did experience spotty WiFi & phone connections, but the paved access to the beach & a public playground was great!

Great location, great place

We had a great week at the Hidden Beach House, the house was pleasant and spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 teenagers to school and work remotely + we had no issues with the internet connection for Zoom calls. The kitchen was well appointed, we made multiple dinners, a birthday cake and muffins and found all the pans and tools we needed. The beach was a 5-7 minute walk and the neighborhood was quiet. Great all around!
