We stayed at this beautiful home for an extended family vacation. The location and amenities were perfect for our group. We had a member with mobility challenges, so the elevator and paved access to the ramp to the beach ensured everyone could participate in beach time. The kitchen is well appointed with complete cooking and baking sets, toaster, blender, and more making meal prep easy. The bed linens and towels are high quality, with ceiling fans in all bedrooms (wall mounted fan in the bunk room). Everyone's favorite aspect are the amazing ocean views from the balconies and windows on every floor.

Beautiful Home

The home was absolutely beautiful! We had 14 total adults staying the week and we were all perfectly accommodated. The home is well stocked with cooking utensils if you decide to cook in. The location is perfect, just a short walk across the street to the beach. The owner, David, was very responsive to any of our questions or needs. Will definitely stay again!

We had an amazing week at this beautiful property! You will have a fantastic view and lots of space to relax. The owner goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and understand how to operate the many extra features of this house. We had 7 adults, 1 teenager, and 6 children ages four and under. In our opinion, everything was absolutely perfect!

The host was responsive and very friendly. When we arrived, he gave us a tour and the ins and out of the property. The location could not have been any better right in front of the beach and walking distance to a cool lunch place w an outdoor bar! The house was gorgeous w ample space for all 20 of us.
