About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Steps from the Beach!

When you arrive you will see there is enough space to park 3 vehicles at the front of the house. Underneath the house you will see a picnic area with tables and chairs where you can enjoy a meal with the family. This will lead you to the fenced playground in the back where the kids can play safely. Also underneath the house is an outdoor, enclosed shower where you can wash the sand off your feet when returning from the beach, which is only about one minute walking distance.

You will need to walk up a flight of about 20 stairs to get to the wrap around deck area where you will be able to enjoy beautiful ocean views, as well as a soft ocean breeze. Enter the home into a roomy living room which has 2 ottoman single hide-a -beds for additional sleeping and a big screen Roku television where you can enjoy your favorite shows under your own accounts. You will also enjoy the fully equipped and updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. As you make your way down the hall you will find the master suite has a king size bed as well as it's own bathroom and exit onto the deck. the 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed. the 3rd bedroom has 2 full size bunk beds.

Please remember that this property is on a peninsula, and is therefore surrounded by water, which means there may likely be mosquitoes, especially during summertime. We do have the property treated regularly for this but can’t guarantee that it will be mosquito free.

Perfect little getaway! The view and close beach access made it spectacular! The cleanliness was beyond my expectations being that this is a pet friendly rental. There was absolutely no indication that a dog had ever stepped into the house! Mosquitoes were there but not as bad as some of the locations we’ve stayed at in the area!! Will definitely book again!!

Beautiful home close to the beach. Clean spacious home that was very well laid out and comfortable. All of the beds were comfortable. The home has a very nice large wrap around porches that give you an ocean view from almost everywhere. Under the home is set up nicely and very spacious. The water pressure was amazing!!! They had everything needed for our stay. The fenced yard and swing set were a nice addition for us. The host Al was wonderful, commicated everything in a timely professional manner. Check in was a breeze. Extremely close to the beach on a quite area so we were able to relax and enjoy the beach and property. We will definitely book again. Thanks Al for sharing your home with us.

Good but....

The place over was nice and walking distance from the beach. Down sides..... there was only 2 towels in each bath room. The dryer did not work, which is not good when traveling with kids. The agte latch on the deck was broke
