Location couldn't have been more perfect. We loved the deck and the captains' chairs for slow mornings with a nice cup of coffee and a book. The bunk bed room received rave reviews from our kids too. We will definitely be coming back!

The time and ease to get to the beach was great. The king size bed was comfortable but the queen was to hard. The appliances and air conditioning worked well. Some of the pots and pans need upgrades (especially cookie sheets). Overall we had a great time.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 May 2026
Thank you, Kim, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed being close to the beach and that you found the king bed comfortable. We’re sorry the queen bed was too firm and that some of the cookware was worn. Since your stay we’ve replaced the mattresses with new, more comfortable ones and upgraded our pots, pans and cookie sheets. We’ve also added a drip coffee maker and installed an Iron Breaker and reverse-osmosis water filtration system. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll stay with us again.

terrific get away

We had a great time on our recent visit. The fenced in yard was even better than expected, which worked really well for us as we were traveling with our dog. The house is very comfortable and close to the beach, and the overseer was really responsive to any concerns we had during our stay. We plan to return
