Why they chose this property
Listed with VRBO in September 2019. Sustained track record of Vacation Rental Customer Satisfaction over the past 12 Years (see Guest comments on VRBO webpage and below) ...
"Retrouvaille is a great house! The elevator makes bringing groceries and luggage in so much easier. This house is beautiful, well equipped, and huge! The beds are so comfortable. We are definitely coming back and renting this house. We loved everything about it!"
"On the water, spacious, and nice but not over the top. Very comfortable!"
"Would like to commend the owner on this nicely furnished and very spacious rental with lots of storage space. One of the nicest oceanfront beach rentals!
Very nice house = great vacation!"
"Very clean and spacious with great beach views. The Dr. Seuss book for the kiddos is a great touch as well!"
"This house was perfect for my husband, our children, and grandchildren. The porch was our favorite place to be because the view was amazing. We loved the bonus rec room downstairs with the bunk beds for the kids. The two huge tables also came in very handy. Overall, we would rate this house a 10!"
"This is a beautiful home with spectacular views on quiet street. Above and beyond anything I could have imagined. The elevator made access to the beach much easier for the older generation in our family, while the young ones enjoyed ping pong and large TV. The two refrigerators were a bonus for storing lots of water to enjoy on the pristine beach. The outdoor patio and porch were quite a pleasant escape after a long day in the sun! Can't say enough about this amazing home! We will absolutely be returning for years to come!"
"Beautiful oceanfront property with large rooms and plenty of storage. The elevator made it so easy to get our clothes and groceries upstairs. Loved the direct access to the beach along with a covered deck with rocking chairs and a hammock."
