Great vacation home!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had good supplies, and communication with the owner was great. Right on the front row at the beach so great view from the front deck! Would definitely stay here again with our family.

A true beachfront experience

This property has everything that you would expect a beach home to have. You’ll experience waves, the roar of the ocean, sand and shells, seagulls, coastal wind, and the smell of the salty air. If you are older, have trouble with knees or bring the kitchen sink with you on your vacation, the stairs are definitely not for you. There are snakes in the sand dunes, and although we did not see or experience them, it was definitely a surprise two days before our arrival that they were there. Because the house is on wooden piling you will experience “the wiggles“ overall, the property was great, perfect for what we were looking for, was well equipped, and beautifully decorated. Beds and furniture were very comfy and cozy. Highly recommend for a family getaway. Property manager James was attentive, friendly, and reassuring.

Perfect Beachfront Getaway

We get together with cousins at a beach house every year and this house has been our favorite so far! Really efficiently laid out for two families, and you really cannot beat being 10 steps from the beach! Everyone wants to come back to this house next year!

Perfect by the beach

The house was great for us, we had to sets of parents and several kids that stayed. The house was perfect - bunk room for boys and bunk room for girls. The kitchen was big enough to cook for everyone and table was nice and big as well. Beds were comfy, balcony was so perfect with chaos, and location on the beach ... can't be beat. The kids loved the skim board, boogie boards, and sand toss as well. We'll be back!

Family Vacation was the Best

Thank you for this treasure of a beach house. It was perfect for the 10 of us. Plenty of gathering space, rooms were just right for the grandkids. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances, utensils, spices etc.. Beach was just right there, and we loved our time here. Looking forward to returning.

Great location and family friendly!

Loved the location of the house, easy access to beach. Accross the street is a great marina/bar and down the road about 4 miles you will find a great mexican restaurant! House was clean - only thing I would be aware of is the first guest bedroom has the vent from dryer going into closet, really heating the room up. Other than that, was a great experience!
