    House, Location, accommodations and beach were all STUNNING . The only reason is not a perfect scored Is because of complete excessive amount of miscellaneous decorations everywhere in the house.

    Just as pictured, great location, perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach! While some reviews focus on being dated, we give the owners credit for doing it their way, and actually living in the space, not trying to be trendy or picture perfect. The home is cozy, and no doubt the place of nostalgia and memories over the years. Thanks for sharing this welcoming coastal home!

    Let me start by saying the location of the house is great. The deck is perfect, but my family enjoys sitting on the porch and listening to the waves and we couldn’t do that. There is a large machine on the beach that runs nonstop. The noise is absolutely unnerving. We should have been told about this. This was our family vacation for the year and could not enjoy being outside. Also, the house decorations are so outdated. There are stuffed dolls hanging in every corner of the sun room. The dining room table has a plastic table cloth with plastic mats. None of the wall pictures match just random things hung. The dishes were dirty. There are small rugs everywhere. The large rugs are dirty. The garbage was overflowing when we got there. And was that way for 3 days. Rats were in it one night. Overall not satisfied.

    Perfect place for us all to gather. Loved the beach walks, sunrises. Hired a chef one night to serve us dinner and ate by the water. Thank you for great memories.

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay! House was close to everything we needed and it was the perfect spot on the beach. We rode bikes to breakfast each morning and thoroughly enjoyed the house..especially the sunroom! Already planning to go back!
