Great stay

We enjoyed our week here. The house was a great fit for our family of 9. The kitchen was very well equipped and the location was fantastic. This section of the beach was not as crowded.

Overall really enjoyed our stay. Great location on a quiet section of beach, loved the beach toy box, 3 levels of decks, and heated outdoor shower.I was a little worried about sound due to it being a duplex but honestly never heard anything from the other side all week.One suggestion for improvement would be to add blackout courtains at least to a few of the bedrooms. All the rooms have basic blinds but the rooms get pretty light as soon as the sun comes up, would be nice to be able to sleep in late on vacation for light sensitive sleepers.

This was just what we were looking for and so much! House awesome, views spectacular! Very nice place. The manager allowed us in a couple hours early since we arrived earlier than expected. Practically had the beach to ourselves.

Family vacation

The house was beautiful and the sleeping accommodations were perfect for our group. The view of the ocean from multiple locations in the house was spectacular. The short walk on the private boardwalk made getting to and from the beach a breeze. We found that all dishes, utensils, and appliances we needed were available and in good working order. Check-in was easy and the host was accessible and very responsive when we did have questions. Highly recommend the Fish Hut Grill for casual dining. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing house and location!

We had booked this house for my sisters bachelorette weekend getaway and it was everything we had hoped for. Enough room for all 9 of us to comfortably hangout and have sleeping room. We loved being able to walk right out of the house and onto the beach. We had such a great time and the host was amazing! She always responded to my messages in a timely manner and was very nice! We would 100% stay here again for other vacations!
