Amazing Property

The house was perfect for a weekend getaway, clean and comfortable for 4 adults and 2 teenagers, with a short walk down a pathway to the beach and a park with a play structure. The house is about 5 minutes away from coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. Definitely would stay here again.

Great location near beach

The location is lovely near the beach, but the property is a little tired and could do with some maintenance, which I shared with the property manager. Cleanliness was ok, but did feel like the house had not been occupied for a while. Location is super quiet.

Great location, great place

We had a great week at the Hidden Beach House, the house was pleasant and spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 teenagers to school and work remotely + we had no issues with the internet connection for Zoom calls. The kitchen was well appointed, we made multiple dinners, a birthday cake and muffins and found all the pans and tools we needed. The beach was a 5-7 minute walk and the neighborhood was quiet. Great all around!

Great space, great location, perfect for families

House is in very good condition, well stocked, very spacious on quiet street. Shopping nearby. Playground and beach are accessible without crossing any streets. Only "strange" thing is master bathroom not having a door separating it from the bedroom. We were 4 adults and 2 kids.
