Perfect View, Right on the beach, very quiet and nice layout
Stayed Valentines weekend 2025. Nice clean place on the beach and either nicely renovated or fairly new construction. Owner was very responsive and helpful to locate local amenities and help us with items in the home that we were not familiar with. We will certainly return for another stay!
House was very comfortable and in a great location. We loved the view! Had everything we needed there. Several restaurants and the Big Store all nearby. Host was quick to respond to questions and very helpful. Hope to be able to stay again soon.
We stayed 4 days in June with our kids and grands. The house is lovely with lots of space…the kids loved having their own room.
The location is wonderful! Beachfront with easy beach access.
Loved how easy it was to communicate with the owner.
We’d love to return for sure!
We had a Wonderful stay despite the Weather wasn’t the Best. The House was nice and clean and the layout was perfect,for family needing multiple beds, bathrooms. The Host had it stocked with necessities you needed.
Overall the house was absolutely beautiful, very clean, and supplied with everything you need. We had a slight issue with the noise from the neighbors, but the property manager was quick to respond. Quick walk to the beach which was nice!
Had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect. Loved the natural light, views and comfort. Arrived after dark and it was hard to locate lock box due to not knowing location and no lights. Towels were in dryer and dishes left in dishwasher. I would recommend labels on light switches as there are MANY. These were just minor inconveniences though.
This is our second stay at this property. We love the location and it accommodates us well.
We were never able to lock the door and could not lock it with the key. Same issue as last year. Needs a new solution.
Location was great. Easy access to beach, Owner worked with us and answered questions timely. If you plan to stay here you will want to bring extra blankets. There was only one extra blanket but 2 women who freeze.
I would try and find out prior to booking if there are any planned events at the beach. Sadly this was our kids Prom and we were unable to access the beach due to a Swingers convention going on the entire weekend. It was very disapointing! The whole scene was very dusturbing! Drugs-nudity-vulgerness.
This beach house was absolutely perfect! The location couldn't be better - right on the beach with stunning views. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. A truly wonderful place to enjoy the ocean, enjoy family and unwind. Highly recommend.
Very nice house, perfect location, and great neighborhood! Steps away from the beach and right down the road from shops, gas stations, and grocery store! 100% recommend!
The house was beautiful and the location was perfect. The furniture inside the house was not very comfortable and we had a problem with ants downstairs. Over all we had a great time and it was perfect for our family.
The view is awesome here with no obstructions of the ocean. The property was very clean and modern. The A/C blows very cold on our hot end of summer vacation. The host was very responsive when I had questions. We had 6 adults and 5 children and there was room to spare. Our group will surely stay at this rental again in the future.
The location and house was very good. There was a few issues that we referred to the owner. It is a lovely place to stay and we will put it in the list to visit again.
