    A Perfect Beach Getaway!This house is absolutely beautiful! The space is perfect for a big family — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything you might need during your trip. The location is fantastic; it's an easy walk to the beach, which made everything so convenient.The home truly lived up to all of our expectations. One of our favorite parts was the back patio — such a peaceful spot to relax in the evenings after a fun-filled day at the beach. We spent every night out there unwinding together.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend this home, and we would definitely love to come back!

    A comfortable home within easy walking distance to the beach. The kitchen was spacious and functional for cooking for a lot of people. Several small sitting areas provided great spots for a few folks. All the beach equipment you need is at the house. Dog parks and walking trails about a mile away for Fido's comfort.

    It was just close enough to the beach, and walking distance! However, the place was dirty when walking in. Two of the beds had sand in the sheets already, hardly any cleaning supplies. No broom, so we had to get creative. 2 trash bags were left for us, not enough for our entire stay. Not near enough tp. We had to go buy a lot of those things.The air went out upstairs and the owner had someone right on it that night. But the next morning, had another repair guy coming for the same thing when it was already taken care of. The day after that a guy “had to come measure doors?” Just a lot of strangers in and out of the house while we were there.We did enjoy being so close to the beach and being in a beach house for the first time.

    We had a great stay at the beach house. It had plenty of space inside and out. The host was very accommodating and friendly. We had everything we needed to make our wedding weekend special. Thank you!

    We were so happy with the house. We really enjoyed the patio swing and chair area. We were traveling with young children and the owner was flexible with check in and checkout to accommodate nap time. We were so appreciative and would come back!

    Property was clean and easy to keep clean. Plenty of dinnerware/cookware. Appliances worked as intended. Plenty of TVs with plentiful TV/streaming subscription viewing options. Plenty of sleeping space. Property is in close proximity to beach, stores, and restaurants. Towns outside of the immediate are just a short drive away. All within our party were very please with this place. Thank you.

    We travel and stay a lot of places and I will say this is one of the best places we have stayed. I was hesitant because it was across the street from the beach but the walk was no different from walking from a condo. It was a very short walk and very convenient location. The house was stocked well with everything that you could need and there were even snacks there. I can’t say enough good things about this rental. The owner was in touch checking in making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.
