Fall At The Elberta Big Porch

After hiking and exploring all day, coming here to unwind and rest was like coming home. The kitchen was nicely stocked; the sitting area had plenty of room to relax; and the beds were comfortable. The updates to the property are lovely. And this place is super close to miles and miles of great hiking trails and beaches!

Great location!!!

The house was great! Bedrooms were a little tight but the pictures in the listing are all accurate. We knew going in that 1 room was going to be sleeping 4 people. The living area was very spacious. The location is awesome and is a quick 3-5 minute drive from the beach and downtown area. Communication with the property manager was very efficient. We would love to stay here again

Great location for race access and spectating. Access to town early in the race is limited, but once the River Road section of the course is open access to town is available.

Nice place,great location

Home has everything you need and is in a great location. Beach is five minutes away, restaurant across the street and another just down the street. Only drawback is we needed a better option for drying towels and swimsuits. You have to lay them on the porch railings. The owners are very responsive to any needs. This was our second year staying at the home.
