Great Little Beach House

We had a wonderful time at the beach this weekend. It was rainy, which put a damper on things, but it was November so that's fine. The house was perfect. We had two toddlers running around with plenty of space to play. Great kitchen and grill for very fun group dinners! Great house and great communication. We will be going back next year!

Great place for large family

The house and extension is wonderful for a large party. Pool is a decent size and well maintained! Both kitchens are full stocked with plenty of cookware and both houses have full washer and dryers. Great place! It’s just missing thicker blankets or comforters so bring your own if you need those.

Graduation Celebration

We loved the house and the backyard area was our favorite. So much seating throughout the property- our guests opted not to stay in the pool house, but on the couches in the main house instead. There was a foul odor, and although mgmt addressed it on day 2, it lingered and kept anyone from getting comfortable over there. There was also a foul odor coming from the kitchen disposal that was addressed. There were plenty of blankets but the bedding itself was not my favorite. A very thin blanket was all. And everyone had one towel to last them 5 days. I only saw one roll of paper towel and 4 total rolls of tp, which, for - house full of teenage boy’s doesn’t last long. The master bath was fabulous. There was a storm on day 3 and I called in for debris in the pool and Caleb showed up with in the hr. He was very kind and helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay, just a few opportunities to get 5 stars.

Perfection

This property was in the perfect location, within walking distance to the beach and to restaurants and shopping. It is kept in immaculate condition, beautifully updated, and is well appointed. It could not have been a more perfect place for our group of families to stay, and we plan to return every year that we’re able.

Perfect Stay for Our Work Retreat – Highly Recommend!

As a local hosting an EMS Education Summit, I couldn’t have asked for a better property. The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had the perfect mix of comfort and functionality. It created an ideal environment for both focused work sessions and much-needed relaxation. Our team had everything we needed and more. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone—whether you’re planning a professional retreat or a personal getaway. We will definitely be booking again!
