    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.

    What can I say, this is the 2nd time we have stayed at this house and WE LOVED IT. The house is the perfect get away for families that enjoy a quaint, home away from home. The house is beautiful inside and out. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. The view of the beach and ocean from the back porch as you rock back and forth on one of the 4 rocking chairs available can’t be beat. So many people leaving the beach said he had the perfect place, I couldn’t agree more. Blair welcomed us with open arms and was always available for any questions we had. Such an amazing woman!! If you’re looking for a place close to everything, a killer view of the morning sunrise, and a step away from the beach then this is the place for you. We cannot wait to stay again. Thank you for allowing us to make our vacation 2024 a huge success. Oh, The ice cream cookie sandwiches are and were amazing ? …..thank you?
