Location, Location, Location…You can‘t beat the view it was amazing. Everything was very clean and well equiped, just the shower needs a renovation. The communication with the host was always extraordinary and he was soooo helpful and supportive while we had our health issues. You can‘t get closer to the beach and relax with beautiful sunrise and sunsets.

The house was clean and cozy for our family. David responded to all of our questions in a timely manner and helped with anything we needed. The beach was not crowded at all. The convenience of staying on the beach is worth the stay itself. I would stay here again! Would recommend to family and friends.

House and location were wonderful. Unobstructed view of the beach with easy access next to house. Only thing that could have been better was there were 4 of us staying for 3 nights - we had plenty of towels but only 4 bath rags so we had to wash daily. Would stay there again.

The house is exactly as pictured, very clean and comfortable. There is a closet full of games for the kids and another closet with cleaning supplies including a vacuum should you need it. The view from the front deck is excellent. We were pleasantly surprised that the wood chairs on the deck were comfortable. No need for cushions on them. The kitchen has plenty of everything you need for cooking and serving. We would definitely rent from this host again.

Very quiet which was suprising for us with it being spring break. Nice right on the beach. I really liked all the light switches being labled so there was no guessing at which one does what.

Love this one, thank you for sharing it! We are really glad you enjoyed the quiet, especially during spring break. That is one of our favorite things about this spot, it feels private and relaxed even during busier times. And I am happy to hear the labeled light switches stood out. It is a small detail, but we try to make everything as simple and user friendly as possible so you can just settle in and enjoy the beach without any guesswork. We would love to have you back again soon! David
