    We loved our stay! The house was excellent — clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of six. We had plenty of space, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. I was a little nervous about being right next to a public beach entrance and worried it might get crowded, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The location turned out to be ideal! We’ll definitely add this to our list of favorite spots and plan to come back again.

    This is the second year we have stayed at Crows Nest II and we absolutely love it. It has everything you need to have the best vacation. It is always super clean and feels like home as soon as you walk in. The location is great and you are literal steps from the beach. We can’t wait for next year!

    This was our first time ever staying in a house rather than a hotel on the beach. The set up was perfect! There was a lifeguard right next out front which gave extra peace of mind since we had little ones. The A/C wasn’t working quite right upon our arrival and they had someone out there the same evening. We would definitely stay here again!

    My family loved our time on the beach. The location is amazing and very family friendly. The house was light on amenities and the deck and Vinyl plank flooring is in need of repair. The floor has been repaired improperly nails that my son cut his foot on. We flew in from out of state and stayed for five nights. The house had three garbage bags, two rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towel. There were some sand toys for the kids but no beach chairs. If you fly in be prepared to spend extra for the things you need.
