We absolutely loved our stay in this gorgeous house! Everything was so clean and comfortable. So many little touches to make you feel at home. We loved sitting out on the porch enjoying the nice sea breeze. The living room was comfortable and spacious to hang out in the evenings. The kitchen is well appointed and has what you need to cook. It is a very easy walk to the beach and a great location near grocery stores and restaurants. Dorthea is an incredible host and goes above and beyond to make your stay the amazing. We highly recommend this house!

This is the best VRBO we have stayed at. The property manager went above and beyond and there was everything we could have needed and wanted in a place to stay. Kids toys and space, a beautiful layed out and decorated house, and plenty of fun options within walking distance.

This is a good example about customer expectations. The property is old and tired with miminal upkeep. Thus many of the bad reviews, however knowing this from reviews, I valued the quiet but well located aspects. Close to everything extremely spacious interior, private small outdoor smoking coutyard and it is at a very good cost. The host Paul is wonderful and walkable from train station. If you worry about scuffed floors, chipped walls or bad caulking on tub, this is not your place. I however value the basics more.Tips - key in door needs to be pulled out a smidge to work, bed is 2 singles push together, Jumbo grocery is 3 min walk. Bring cd's if you want music (think it works?), well equipped kitchen.
