    We wanted an old school cottage on the beach and this was the perfect spot for my husband, myself and our dog! Great location--there's a coffee shop within walking distance and lots of great restaurants just a bike ride (or drive/walk) away. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. Couches were comfy and having windows open at night to hear the ocean was awesome! There is easy access to walk across the dunes and onto the beach too. We'll be back for sure!

    Great location! Right on the beach with beautiful sunrises! Perfect property for myself, husband, 9 month old daughter and large dog! Just what you need to enjoy a week at the beach.

    Perfect for 2 dogs and a couple. We enjoyed being able to vacation right on the ocean with our pups. Close to surfing and good restaurants as well.

    Our family of 4 loved staying at Nena’s oceanfront! The beach is just steps away from the house and the house was clean and comfortable for our family! The views (especially sunrises) were stunning! We loved relaxing on the beach, swimming in the ocean, and doing a little surf fishing! It was the perfect week!

    The oceanfront location was exactly what we wanted for this trip to the beach. The size of the house fit our needs, and the screened-in porch was wonderful for relaxing with a book while watching and listening to the waves, enjoying a meal, or checking out the beach for a walk. The location also was convenient for visiting area attractions and checking out restaurants.This was our first time using Vrbo, and the owner was friendly and quick to respond to our questions. We were fortunate to have our son with us to help spot traffic to get out of the parking space.

    Nena’s was the perfect getaway for our young family! We loved the charm and character of the home and it was very clean when we arrived. The screened in porch is what makes this house so special and we spent a lot of our time out there. The beach was only steps away and not crowded at all. Nena’s is a hidden gem! We can’t wait to come back!

    First off communication was superb! We had the few questions we asked quickly. We had 1 issue that was fixed that same day. The place itself was perfect. It’s right there on the beach. We brought our 2 dogs and they loved it. And it gave us peace of mind because we didn’t have to deal with crossing streets etc. Just down some stairs up the dune and we were there. The dune was much easier for the dogs than us but it wasn’t too bad. Did I mention the porch? I probably should because I spent every morning there enjoying the sunrise and eating breakfast. It gives you a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. There’s a side deck as well that we enjoyed. A small thing i appreciated was actually having a gas grill outside. I am a horrible cook with charcoal so it was nice to have that as an option The washer and dryer was great! You are at a beach so you’ll need to do some general sweeping etc but that was to be expected. I would also recommend backing into the driveway. It wakes it much much easier when trying to get out on the main road. If I had a slight criticism it would be the bed in the room closest to the beach. It may have had its best years already but it wasn’t a deal breaker. We absolutely would love to go back !

    We had a really nice time on our trip. The beginning of the week was rainy and we were so glad to have the covered porch so we could still be outside. The sunrises are absolutely stunning! In addition, we saw SO much wild life on land and in the water. I have never seen so many dolphins, porpoises, and even a whale tail splash one time!! If you are looking for a great location, close beach access and a home that isn't fancy, but will meet your needs then this is the place!
