Can’t Wait to Return!

All previous reviews were pretty spot on. Location location location— helped us look past the little things: Towels are well worn, kitchen (sharp) knives, wine glasses and other drink ware were very limited. Bathroom door didn’t close. We couldn’t find a blender. Again, all of these things were minor and the rest of our experience was perfect! We loved the huge deck (bring safety gates if you have little ones) Other common areas were able to accommodate our extended family comfortably. (6 adults, 3 children under 4). The beach is so close that one of us could easily walk back to grab something or use the bathroom. Outdoor shower (shower curtain could be replaced) was ideal. The house is within 15 minutes of downtown, shopping, urgent care, etc although there’s a variety store minutes away with just about anything. We are coming back next summer. Thankfully.

Stunning beach and great beach house

The house is as others describe, with some needed updates, but the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and functional. The house was a great size, plenty of room for our group of 7 and the A/C was lovely. Great comfy sun porch with windows that provided a great reading space with a lovely cross breeze. And the beach is stunning, and so close. It is the star. I just wish I had more time to enjoy the sunset and long walks out there. Truly, a magical beach. Great food and fun places to see not too far away. Jennifer was very responsive. A bit more instruction and tips about house would be helpful.

Short walk to beach

Best part about this property was how close it is to the beach! The house is charming with plenty of room to spread out or come together. It was great for our multi-generational group!

Great beach house!

Loved this place! Great layout, plenty of room and the beach was beautiful. Heads up on getting the greenhead spray ahead of time if you come in July!

Beautiful beach at a quiet location

If you want easy, quick access to an absolutely wonderful beach and have a pet to accommodate, this is a good place to meet your needs. There are 3 wall a/c units: in 2 of the bedrooms and in the living area. There's a ceiling fan in the dining/kitchen area. Large trees provide a lovely privacy screen from the nearest neighboring properties; this place really benefits from not having other properties very close by — you have privacy even when using the large deck space & grilling with the new gas grill. Plenty of towels and beach towels are provided!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Gallagher

Family owned property. Took it over about 8 years ago and made some beautiful changes. Perfect for a family that loves the beach, family outdoor time, gardening, and relaxing. Older children with juggling schedules have made it impossible to use the property this summer

Why they chose this property

It is simply a cozy quaint, low fuss no muss property that you can sweep the sand out at the end of the day. Endless hours on a private beach. Listening to the waves at dusk. Watching the sunrise, picking up sanddollars and sea treasures. Family memories await
