We had a blast! The house was beautiful and welcoming. Beth was very communicative and responded right away.The beach views were amazing. Being right on the beach was so convenient to be able to run back to the house if we needed to grab a drink, snacks, or take covering from the rain.We can’t wait to come back.

LOVED being right on the beach and the view was beautiful , We would gladly stayed there again in the future. This was our first trip to the beach with our grandbabies and their parents. Grateful to share this special time with our family and making memories. Thank you Beth! And God please continue to bless America.

Beth was a great host! She was very quick with communicating and was helpful with anything that we needed. The space provided was exactly what our family needed for a week away. The spaces were maximized with a traveler in mind — many shelves in the closet and bathroom, hooks throughout, a stocked kitchen, and many seats to enjoy the ocean view. Beth had all of the other little things — box fans, hangers, extra blankets and pillows, games, books/magazines, and even had a complimentary starter kit for the dishes, trash bag, and toilet paper. Waking up to the ocean, was truly remarkable. Our dog loved sitting on the top deck people watching and sniffing the salty air. It was how we spent our mornings. Thank you, Beth, for allowing our family (and pup) enjoy the beach. The house was beautiful and we are thankful!

Beth, our host, was excellent in her communications. She answered any and all questions promptly. Having this location right on the beach made for a lovely vacation with our family. There is a foot and body wash to rinse off the sand right outside the back patio entrance which was nice. The kitchen is fully stocked with means to prepare your own meals and there are coffee shops a short drive away. They have a process whereby linens are delivered for you to put on the beds and then strip and leave in the same bins upon departure. A couple of things that I would advise: 1. Learn about the recycling. It is not super clear with the bins having the respective addresses painted on them where one needs to pay close attention to where the recycling bin is (both bins are the same colors with opposing color schemes). I would recommend having a bag to put your recycling in inside the house and then bring down at the end of each day. 2. Also, for anyone with a challenge getting up and down stairs (which we do not, but I am always looking out for because my mother, who did not join us, does have issues), this has stairs to enter the home. 3. Black out curtains are there, but there is an overhead window of light above where light enters, so if you have a toddler who needs to nap midday, it can take a little more attention to where they will be sleeping Outside of those small areas of advisement, it was an absolutely perfect place to relax and unwind. 5 stars!

Thank you so much, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay! I appreciate your details and suggestions. I try to think of everything guests may need, inevitably something is over looked making guest suggestions extremely useful. I will label the cans clearly, the recycle has the triangle recycling emblem but making it more clear is a great idea. I think removing the half window from the bedrooms will be a top priority in the off season. Thank you for mentioning. We welcome you back anytime 😎
