    Right on the beach - drinking coffee and watching the sunrise and set was the best! The home was clean, very roomy, and our group of adults and children fit comfortably. The kitchen is wonderful and fully stocked with everything we needed. It was great to have two washer/dryer sets. No one needed to pay for extra parking and the extra beach equipment was a plus. The host was very responsive. We really enjoyed our time.

    Our multi-family group thought this property was wonderful. We had a group of 12 with 4 adults and 8 children. The home is truly on the beach, making trips to/from very easy, even for the toddlers in our crew. The home is well appointed with great kitchen equipment, games, places for everyone to sit, a variety of beach equipment (even a wagon and life jackets), great set ups for outdoor dining, and most amenities we needed except beach towels and toiletries which was clearly shared on the listing so we knew to bring those items! As with any beachside property, there were a few things in the house that could use attention, but we felt strongly that these hosts were welcoming and considerate. They asked us to please let them know if anything was lacking during our stay, so it was very clear that they care about their guests’ experience. We did not feel the need to reach out about anything while we were there, but I feel confident they would have quickly responded had we needed anything. They made our stay easy in lots of big and small ways. Thank you for letting our crew use your home and enjoy the beautiful beach.

    I am so happy that I chose this home for our family vacation. The house has been updated and is very, very nice. It is right on the beach, and away from the condo crowds. It had everything we needed, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms so it accommodated our party of 12 very nicely. Plenty of space to sit around and watch TV and visit. Kitchen was well equipped, dishes, glasses, pots and pans, so we were able to cook and eat together at the table for 17. Definitely a keeper on my list to visit again.

    It's so nice to be able to step off the porch onto the beach. The house is great and kept up nicely. It fits our family well having so many bedrooms and everyone having their own bathroom. Truly an enjoyable week.

    This was a group stay of five couples, the house was spacious enough we never felt on top of each other. Private baths for all rooms, great beds. Loved the decks and access to beach outside the door!! Owner very communicative and checked on our arrival had a water leak and very fast connection on it . We would book again in a heart beat!!

    Thank you very much for everything! The house was beautiful, very clean and well stocked with everything to accommodate our stay. For some of us it was our first time seeing the ocean and it was a fantastic first experience. We loved the hot tub and huge table for our games, the view and the space. We've already discussed coming back and sincerely hope to in the future.

    It was a great time staying at this house.It slept 2 families of 4, and we had plenty of space.The views from the top floor were amazing and my favorite thing about this house.Layout is a bit odd but very accommodating.Hot tub is very nice as well but does not go over 99 degrees. Charcoal grill is only available on site, but it works just fine. Our only concern was, that the place was not cleaned well.Floors were very dirty, and couches had animal hair all over them. The first night both of our 2 and 4 year old's got bitten by fleas.We had to spend entire day cleaning the house and find remedies for fleas.
