    Blair's house was wonderful. Steps from the beach and she was so helpful! She bought air conditioners to go in the windows when the main air conditioner was not working well.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable historic beach home! The location was perfect with beautiful and easy access to the beach and ocean. Everything about the house was charming, and it was so special knowing it was built by the owners’ great-grandparents. Blair and her sweet pup Sailor made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We hope to come back again next year. Highly recommend — thank you, Blair

    We had a great week! The house is in the perfect location. You can’t beat walking off the porch and onto the beach. Blair is a wonderful host and a very kind person. We will definitely stay here again.

    From start to finish our stay was incredible. We arrived and the house is right on the beach. Sat on the deck every morning and watched the sunrise. Walk off the deck right onto the beach. If kids hot tired of the beach they could walk back to the house, get a snack, watch tv, or whatever. Close to shopping, and supermarket. Ice cream and shaved ice. Incredible dinner options all within minutes. This was by far the best vacation I've had in a long time. Thank you Blair. Can't wait to do it again.
