The house was in the perfect location….close to the beach, away from traffic, close enough to stores/restaurants/shopping. The outdoor shower was very convenient. We also loved the bar below the house for grilling and chilling.

Hi Ericka, thanks for the wonderful review of Crows Nest II!
This was a wonderful property! The AC had a hard time keeping up with the heat, but someone came quickly to check and clean the unit. He was very nice. My family enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you! We would definitely rent this property again.

Hi Tammy, thanks for letting us know about the AC so that our team could try to resolve it during your stay. We hope to host you again soon!
This beachfront home was the perfect spot for our family vacation. With 4 kids we wanted a convenient location and this was great. The house had everything we needed and some, the bunk room was great, the deck was a great sitting spot and the beach was wonderful. We would definitely stay at this location again.

HI Leslie, thanks for the wonderful review of Crows Nest!
We loved our stay! The house was excellent — clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of six. We had plenty of space, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. I was a little nervous about being right next to a public beach entrance and worried it might get crowded, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The location turned out to be ideal! We’ll definitely add this to our list of favorite spots and plan to come back again.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and just as in the pictures. The ocean view from the porch was nice and relaxing. Overall we had a great experience booking this home.

Hi Santana, thanks for the wonderful review of Crows Nest!
This is the second year we have stayed at Crows Nest II and we absolutely love it. It has everything you need to have the best vacation. It is always super clean and feels like home as soon as you walk in. The location is great and you are literal steps from the beach. We can’t wait for next year!
Our family stayed at this beach house for a week! We did not want to leave. The beach is literally right out the back door! One of our best vacations yet!!!
