Amazing stay

Our first time to stay here. The property was perfect for 4-6 adults. Location was incredible with few steps to the ocean. Elevator was great. Everyone said they slept really well in the beds. We love a sunset but the sunrises were beyond words. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked it for 2025 before we left. Thanks again and see you next year!

Family Beach Trip

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful beach house. It is well suited to a family and had everything we needed. We loved the location. It’s away from town and no big condos near by. There was no issue accessing the beach from the house and the beach was not crowded which is always nice.
