Our three generation family’s second time at this well-equipped property in a stunning beach location. With direct access to a long, wide beach to walk on, and a beautiful view of the bay (and occasional whales), this is a great location for a family vacation. We look forward to an opportunity for another visit.

Need more towels and house could use some ant traps etc - heat throughout the house was not very precise with each thermostat. nicely stocked with games and puzzles but bring your own toiletries- no shampoo etc provided and the soap that was provided never rinsed off. Oh well. Right on the beach so views were lovely. Tennis rackets /pickelball would have been nice addition. Pool was non functional ( found out three days before arriving-) did receive a minimal discount but the whole point of renting a place with amenities is to use them

Response from VrboOwner on 28 April 2026
Review response Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the beachfront views. We do wish you had reached out during your stay, as several of the concerns you mentioned could have been quickly resolved. There are ant traps located under the kitchen sink, and additional towels could have been made available upon request. Tennis and pickleball rackets are also kept in the hall closet for guest use. Our home is regularly used by our family, and we aim to keep it well stocked and comfortable for both personal use and guests. That said, we appreciate your note about the soap and will look into finding a better option. Regarding the pool, we completely understand your disappointment. Unfortunately, this was an unplanned closure, and we learned about it the same day we notified you. While the pool was unavailable, other amenities—including the hot tub, tennis courts, pickleball court, volleyball court, and bocce ball—remained open. We did refund the full daily amenity fee in light of the inconvenience. We appreciate your input and will continue working to improve the guest experience. Karen
