Great oceanfront property!

Our family group came for a short stay at the beach and were not disappointed! The house is right on the beach and has plenty of room. We had plenty of room to spread out, cook, spend time on the deck and enjoy the beach. The house is nicely furnished with cute decorations. Eric and Cathy were great hosts and promptly answered any questions we had.I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the area!

Fun times

We had s blast! Great house. Very nicely laid out. We had 12 in our party and could have slept more, however the space worked perfectly for us. We had golf carts for Sat which was a lot of fun. Plenty of parking including the boat. The house is even better that the pics

Great little place

This is a great little place to stay. Lots of room. I do think the listing should be updated to let people know that the house moves because of the wind. We had some people that were a little more sensitive to the moving of the house than others.

The cabin was perfect for our family! We had 7 adults and 3 teenagers. Plenty of bedrooms and the loft was perfect for the teens. The view and proximity of the beach is amazing! Would definitely stay here again. Some reviews before mentioned issues with the neighbors, we had no problems what so ever. Great time and great place to stay!

4th of July Beach Trip

We enjoyed our 4th of July stay with friends and family. There were plenty of rooms for the adults and the upstairs loft was perfect for the kids. The house is located on a quieter end of the beach so it wasn't very crowded but it's still close enough to restaurants and the Big Store. We loved hanging out on the large deck during the day and at night. The kitchen had everything we needed.

Great house

The property itself was wonderful; however, the neighbors were not friendly at all. We spent very little time in the house and majority of our time visiting friends on the island.

FANTASTIC FAMILY TIME

Our Family gathers once a year, 18-20 of us , to spend quality time together. This properly was wonderful and was beyond what I expect ed. Plenty of kitchen ware, towels, and washing supplies. It was clean, quiet, and peaceful. The direct beach access was the big bonus. All we needed was for it to be 10 degrees cooler 😁 but otherwise absolutely perfect.

Great house but

The house was great and the location being beach front was great. Only downside is the neighbors are the owners and their friends. We would catch them both watching us and the kids. It felt very Big Brother when looking in the kitchen and the neighbors staring. Another downside was using the oven made the fire alarm go off each time the door was opened.

Clean, fun & spacious beach house

House was very clean with cute beachy decor. Beds were super comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, views were beautiful & beach access was very easy. Everything seemed new & thoughtful! Eric & Cathy were very responsive! Ocean was pretty cloudy but we were able to spot dolphins about 100 yards out. Only suggestion would be to provide out of town guests with a book of restaurant & beach chair rental suggestions. We rented chairs, canopy & beach games from Ashore Venture & they were very helpful to both deliver & pick up rentals. All in all, a great family beach vacation!
