Decent place to stay
Only thing we did not enjoy was the request to keep the ac on 78 the amount of money you pay for a rental like this you should be able to run that sucker on 50. Laura was VERRY friendly and seemed to have concern that we were happy and comfortable. It was a great place.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Lackey

Host profile image
We bought this property in June of 2014 just in time for July 4th and began renovation! In 2016 after renovations were completed we decided to share our happy place with others. I enjoy fishing, boogie boarding, walks, sunsets, etc. Have caught tons of trout, redfish, Blue and Stone crabs at bayside. I am a nurse and love working in the garden and decorating. Have had so much fun designing this home and love adding the little details throughout the property to make your stay extra special.

Why they chose this property

This property is so convenient to the Beach! Located at the end of the street provides a lot of privacy and peacefulness. The community is very active and we love to socialize with our neighbors. Great street! All the holidays have special events hosted by community at the local park 3 blocks away. Usually have live music and always have food!

What makes this property unique

We have had several friends stay overnight in our home evaluating it to help us create a great experience for your stay. We hope you find everything you would expect and a lot more in our home!!
