    This property is adorable! Very thoughtful touches and perfect for our small group. The location is perfect—short walk to the beach and shops/breakfast/convenience store. We had gorgeous weather and we had our coffee on the porch both mornings. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Very good communication. Would definitely stay here again!

    Loved this place! Clean, comfortable, and charming. It was perfect for a quiet family beach trip, and what really sets this place apart is the attention to detail put into the place -- all those little things that allow you to just relax and pretend you live by the beach (there is a *knife shapener*! do you know how many dull or even nonexistent knives I have struggled with in a vacation rental??). I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee by the koi, trying out the local restaurants and cafes, and of course Walnut Beach and Silver Sands. We would absolutely come back!!My only caveat would be that if you have any children who are not steady walkers on stairs, like many houses in this area the stairs can be tricky with one banister. Fine for any kiddos who are sure on the stairs but might require extra attention for a younger child learning to walk.

    This place was unbelievable clean and so tidy and organized even down to the so called junk draw that everyone has, except Laura and Danna....theirs was labeled!! And, so was everything, without having to open up every cabinet to find what you need. They also stocked extras of everything one needs. Heck, even the toilet was fun to use at night! Their house was so cool, too....the decks and the backyard with the sounds from the small pond as well as all the fun backyard stuff is there if you need. The neighborhood was so quiet and nice people saying hello. There is also plenty of things for everyone to do so close by. So, go ahead and book!

    This property was super clean and a cute charming home. The hosts have thought of everything you might possibly need to have a memorable experience . Every draw and cabinet is labeled as to its contents so there is no searching for anything. The fenced back yard was great for a small dog. The ice cream shop on the corner sells yummy treats. The Walnut Beach coffee shop around the corner was great for breakfast and lunch. But most importantly, the host is quick to respond to any request or inquiry and go out of her way to help you.

    So even my kids (gasp) 20 & 21yo, loved this place! Plenty of space for downtime on one of the 3 decks and literally 5sec walk to the beach! Love this place!

    They say the devil is in the detail, if that is so, then the devil is alive and well at Steps 2 Beach. This property is by far, one of the best rentals I've stayed at, opinion second by a teenager, so you know it must be so. The home is perfectly located mere steps from various small beaches and approximately four blocks from Walnut Beach, a beautiful, calm beache perfect for children. There are a number of good places to eat, including a delicious ice cream parlor about 100' from the house, and La Catrina, a Mexican spot around the corner. If you are too tired to eat out, order from It's Just Wings a local spot, so good! Laura, Dana and the property manager have gone through great lenghts to ensure that the guests' every need was met, From fluffy towels, to beach chairs, toiletries and every kitchen gadget imaginable, they even had doggy pantry! There was nothing better this week than seating in one of the porches, taking in the breeze under their cute palms. This little gem of a home has it all. We can't wait to come back!!!

    We had an awesome trip to Walnut Beach! The place was perfect - great location, walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. Close to a great coffee shop and a tremendous Lobster Roll at the Lazy Lobster! Evenings at the fire pit in the backyard was a perfect end to the day. We will be back. Thank you!!!
