Leo's Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This lovely home is right across the road from the beach, perfect for your family's next vacation. Inside, the open-concept living area is bright and spacious, dressed in attractive furniture, beautiful floors, an overhead ceiling fan, and beachy décor. The full kitchen has plenty of space and stainless steel appliances to help you prepare a delightful meal for everyone to enjoy, which you can take out to the private balcony to dine al-fresco in the salty sea air. When you're not exploring the beach or enjoying a fun-filled hike, splash around in the private saltwater pool then stretch out on the patio to soak in the sun with a good novel. The outdoor shower will spritz away the beach sand after your morning walks and the private washer/dryer will keep everyone's clothes nice and clean during your stay. Don't forget to use the central AC to cool everything down on those hot summer evenings! When it's time to call it a night, you'll have five well-appointed bedrooms to take advantage of.

Great size and location!

Home was wonderful for the 10 people we had. Everyone had plenty of room and we could all eat together with the big dining room table and kitchen bar. Loved the location as it was just steps away from the boardwalk to get to the beach! Bedrooms were great size! Porches were nice to sit and have coffee or cocktails on. Noise wasn't bad even though you are off a main road. But that is also because we came in the middle of August (which I would do again for less crowds). I would definitely come back here and have told friends about it. Other than the pool area needing some tending to, we were able to enjoy the home alot.

Family Trip

The beach house was beautifully decorated and clean. The location is great for walking to the beach and/or the local restaurant and ice cream shop down the road. The home has a good view of the beach and it was quiet in the evenings. The outdoor area could use a table with an umbrella and some additional lighting to light up the pool area since the pool itself does not have lights. The house provided ample space for our party of 15. The kids enjoyed the bunk room and living room was cozy. There are three balconies with good views. If you love to get out and walk/run, this area is great to get a good workout in. We would absolutely rent this beach house again.

The location of this house is perfect - a very short walk to the boardwalk and you’re at the beach. We had a party of 12 and had plenty of room. Would book again based on price and location.

Beautiful home with all the amenities needed for a great vacation stay. The pool was enjoyable. Close proximity to the beach access was great as well. Lots of stairs provided good workouts each day. 🤓😂. All in all it’s a great place for a family to vacation.

Nice and easy!

There was nothing difficult about this stay. If we needed something, then they answered quick and efficiently. The people that came were nice and attentive and the neighbors were nice as well. Easy walk to the beach!! Lots of parking and room in the house for 15 people. No complaints about our stay. Gorgeous big windows for sunlight all around the house.

Perfect Home for the Family

My family and I enjoyed our two-night stay here. We wished we could have stayed longer. The house looked exactly like the photos online and was fully stocked, so we were able to have an early Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you!

Family heaven

Bigger than what we expected, all my kids and their families fit there, a lot of room for big families. You have all you need in the kitchen, rooms and pool. Pool maintenance was great. So close to every thing. Easy to access. Nice parking fits all our cars. So comfortable.

Very convenient location and steps from the beach. Perfect for our extended family vacation together. A few minor things we noted at check in but quick reply and fixed a light on the deck that blew out during a storm one evening. Clean and plenty of towels for bathing even w 5 kids with us. Wish there had been glass baking dishes but we made do with what was provided. We don’t go out to eat in vacation so we loved the big kitchen and large table and island to eat at! We loved this house!

Great location, fairly great house

This house was a wonderful location for a friends with children get together. My only complaints were there were no outdoor beach chairs provided. The trim/ threshold in the primary bathroom bedroom was falling off and a bit of a tripping hazard. Less than the other places I’ve rented but still a bit dirty for the price point. The pool was great. Definitely would’ve needed a bigger pool for more than six adults and three children. Kitchen was well stocked despite the broken dishwasher handle. Furniture was definitely worn and dirty, bed comfy not firm. Found some beer cans upon arrival too, which is gross.

Perfect for our group

We had a really hard time finding a house that had enough beds to accommodate 4 couples. Most houses had multiple beds in one room. We wanted 4 big beds in 4 separate rooms and we found that here, plus an extra room we didn't use. However, the bed on the top floor is actually a full size and it's advertised as a queen. It wasn't quite big enough for the couple that stayed in that room. I read an earlier comment about an outdoor closet that had beach towels and wagon, etc to use on the beach. I don't know how they got into that closet, but that closet stays locked. I'm sure it's the owners closet. So do not come expecting access to that stuff. Also, we could never figure out how to turn on the lights in the pool for night swimming. We tried every switch outside. The walk to the beach was very short. Our group really enjoyed our stay.
