We loved vacationing here! The house was perfect and would love to stay here again in the future. Our favorites were the pool with all the nice sitting areas and the pool table room. It was fun and made some great memories.

We're so glad to hear you loved your stay! It means a lot to know the home—and especially the pool and pool table room—helped create some great memories for you and your group. We’d absolutely love to host you again in the future! Thanks so much for sharing this.
Great location and perfect for our family. House was clean and as described online. Would definitely stay here again.Only complaint was the pool.. poor circulation so there was a lot of debris in the water.
We loved the location of the house. Short walk to the beach. House was clean and stocked with what we needed. Plenty of room for 9 of us. Communication with property management was great.

Thank you for your review! We're happy the house’s location and ample space suited your group well, and that you found it clean and well-stocked. We're also glad our communication met your expectations. We look forward to hosting you again!
Beach Barn was exactly as advertised. Spacious, nicely appointed, clean, and close to the beach and restaurants. The Property Manager, Daniel, was excellent. He answered questions quickly and took care of a couple of minor problems promptly. Would definitely book another stay and would recommend it to friends.

Beach Barn was the perfect place for our extended family vacation. We had six adults and three children and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space.It is a great location with easy access to many restaurants and attractions. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals. The outdoor space is very inviting and the pool is wonderful! The beautiful beach is just a short walk away. The host, Daniel, was responsive and helpful. If you are looking for a place to relax and rejuvenate, Beach Barn is the place for you!
