Great Location

In a sea of giant houses on postage stamps, this house was the perfect combination— roomy 3 bedroom, space for everyone to spread out, and enough yard for it to feel private and family friendly! Having the beach walkway right by the house was ideal. Can’t wait to return!

Peaceful and restful vacation

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortably furnished home especially lounging and eating on the back porch while listening to the ocean. We would just recommend taking a tree or two down to enhance the view otherwise the house was great! Communication with the management was always easy & helpful as well. would definitely go back!

Cottage on beach

The place is located right on the beach in a very nice area. However, a disappointment when on back porch, as there are so many large trees, the direct view is quite minimal of the ocean. Waste of an excellent location. Place was fine, back porch which we spent a lot of time on could’ve been cleaner. Overall a nice place.

Short walk to beach, but very busy!

This house had a nice large private yard, which along the main Palm Blvd was very rare. You could see the ocean from the back deck, and the walk to the public path was right through the backyard. While convenient, it also made it very loud with lots of people coming and going. House was very clean, with very comfortable beds, and had a very nicely stocked kitchen. We cooked several full meals, and used the grill as well. It was nice to have a private yard for the kids to play in (and our dog). Within 5 minutes to Harris Teeter and several restaurants! Very nice long weekend away!
