House was very well appointed with a fully equipped beautiful kitchen. You could tell the owners put a lot of thought into making the house comfortable. Great prompt communication with Gina. House was very close to the beach and no crowds! You can watch dolphins right off the dock (binoculars included). It was every thing you need for a great beach vacation.

House offered everything we were looking for. Very well maintained, clean, neat, well stocked, comfortable, great beach and ocean views. etc. And we loved the location—just a few steps to the beach. We prefer a non crowded location and this is it! We hope to come back here on our next beach vacation. BTW Gail (owner) is a really good communicator and responds quickly to any question or request. My review is a solid 10.

What an amazing property! The house sits closer to the beach than those around it so there are unobstructed views and it feels like you have your own private beach! The room with a queen bed and bunk beds was perfect for us because our young children want to sleep in the same room when we travel. The beach is quiet and the perfect spot for kids to have as much room as they want. This is a great option for families with young children (my 3 children are ages 5 and younger). The house itself has been nicely renovated and very cozy.

Wow! What a home and a view!

We loved this house! It was perfect for our family. The views from the home and deck were amazing! We loved sitting under the pergola and enjoying the ocean view. House was clean and had everything we needed. Host was fantastic to communicate with. We were even lucky enough to see sea turtles hatch from their nest and make their way into the ocean. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
