Highly Recommend!

The perfect beach vacation rental! We enjoyed our stay at 'Why Knot' to the fullest. The location just steps from the beach, while also enjoying the calm marsh behind the house was wonderful. The well maintained house was clean and modern with a fully stocked kitchen for everything you need to make your meals. The layout worked well for our group, with a separate space for kids to hang out. We enjoyed the beautiful pool setup along with the generous beach/pool toys and supplies for a fun day together. Highly recommend!

Cool Comforts at 'Why Knot': Making Waves Without the Warmth

We recently stayed at the beach house "Why Knot" and it was a fantastic experience for our group of 8 adults and 5 young kids (ages 2-4). The property was spacious, impeccably clean, and overall enjoyable for our large group. One of the highlights of the stay was the proximity to the beach, which made it convenient for us to spend quality time by the ocean with the kids. The house itself felt safe and well-maintained, offering ample space both indoors and outdoors for everyone to relax and play. The pool would be a definite plus, providing an alternative to beach activities, especially for the little ones. However, we were disappointed to learn about the fee to heat the pool only two days before our arrival. The cost to heat the pool was unexpectedly high and did not match was was listed, which came as a bit of a surprise. We decided to brave the cold water instead and this was a major downside to an otherwise wonderful stay. Despite the issue with the pool heating fee, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at "Why Knot." The house met our expectations in terms of cleanliness, comfort, and location. The layout was ideal for our group size, allowing us to spend quality time together without feeling cramped. Overall, we would recommend this property for families or groups looking for a spacious and well-equipped beach house. Just be sure to inquire about any additional fees, such as pool heating, well in advance to avoid any unexpected expenses.

We stayed at Why Knot for the week of Thanksgiving. We brought Thanksgiving to the beach. Best Thanksgiving vacation ever. Why Knot exceeded our expectations and the management company Vacasa was super responsive. The home was clean and spacious and had everything included that we could’ve ever needed. Even in the middle of November, our family used the heated pool. Definitely would recommend Why Knot for your next family vacation.
