This has to be with the most cozy and close by spots in the area! You are a 30 second walk from Atlantic Beach and on one of the best spots along the whole Coast, and minutes from one of the best restaurants down the block. The rooms and kitchen are updated and clean; everything works and their air flow stays cool. Kim is the best, always making sure we were okay even when we reached out early to her. They gave us the best customer service and we left completely satisfied and ready to come back next year!

Great location

Beach access was steps away from our door and the unit was super nice! A bit tight if you have a the full capacity but worth it for the location by far! Washer and dryer being full size was a definite plus and being provided back up towels and veil is beach supplies was great especially since we were from far away.

This place was adorable. It had exactly what we needed to escape for a 4-day trip to the beach. Great location, beach access is steps away from the front door. Quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was nicely stocked. Beach towels and chairs are provided, too. Great stay, definitely want to return!
