Absolutely amazing! Hosts were great to work with. Property was one block from ocean and the walk was easy. Clean rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, garage, etc. Location was great and easy to get to shops, restaurants and activities. House was filled with everything you could need while on a vacation (pots and pans, sand toys, chairs, grill and more.) Would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants to find a place on the beach and not have to worry about anything else but having a great time on vacation!

“Happy Ours” is the perfect place to stay. The host was amazing. Leann was so nice, and it was obvious that our comfort and happiness was her first priority. She had everything in the home you could possibly need for a vacation. Our family will definitely be booking this house again.
