Great value. The place was fantastic, very clean, and easy walk right out to the beach. Hot tub was awesome and great view of ocean and stars from it. Beds were very comfortable and great shower and water pressure. The only thing it needs is a redo of the wood decking on the walkway over the dune to the beach.

Great view, loved the hot tub, we were unable to get in the door on a Sunday and after hours were very friendly and helpful to get us right in. Bathroom had an odor and previous guests laundry bags were left by the steps our entire stay are our only complaints. Will stay here again.

Being close to the beach does come with the drawback of being near foot traffic, which is out of our control. If there are other reasons this review is only two stars, please let us know so we can correct those issues. Thank you, Better Beach Rentals

Great little beach house

Great little beach house for my husband and I. The king bed was comfortable as was the den furniture. The porch looking at the ocean was great! There is a public walkway just to the right of the house that we used to take our stuff to the beach. I wish the house had rocking chairs but, I knew this upfront based on the pictures so I brought my own. It is a great little beach house with an old-school vibe and we would definitely rent this property again.

Children’s first beach trip

We traveled as a family of 6. It was our youngest, 18 month old daughter, 4 year old son, mom, dad, pawpaw and great pawpaw traveling. The house was very accommodating and being ocean front was amazing. I believe the hot tub was a hit as well.

The house was very relaxing and the porch had a view that was amazing. The only complaints were that the silverware wasn’t all clean and it seemed that the hot tub had not been cleaned from the previous stay since there was sand in it.
