This is a very nice house and absolutely cute decorations. Enjoyed watching the beach from the hot tub or the chairs on the deck. Also enjoyed the views from the living room and 2 of the bedrooms. When I had a question, Kathy responded right away. Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach house with us.

Amazing!

We got there and were allowed to check in early! Kathy was very responsive even checked on us during the small storm! The house was absolutely amazing! The beds were super comfortable and the view was amazing! This is going to be a regular house that we get when we come down if it’s available! Definitely need to stay here well worth it!

It's so fun to rent my ocean property to people that take care of it! Tracie was a great guest. It's one of those times I wish I could run over and say hello in person! She was an amazing guest and can't wait for her to come back!

Great Beach House!

This house was perfect for our vacation. Just steps to the sand and wonderful views! We loved having the hot tub on the 2nd floor deck and the cargo lift is such a nice amenity. No hauling suitcases and groceries up the stairs! This home is stocked with absolutely everything and Kathy was so helpful and responsive to our needs!

House was clean & very well-maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes & cooking utensils. We had 1 issue w/ the front door early. Kathy had already given me her cell & was very quick to respond w/ instructions. Would definitely stay here again!

The beautifully decorated beach house was immaculate, comfortable and met our every need. We were a small party of four staying for three nights. The weather was perfect making our time on the covered deck special. This is a gem of a find and the owner was accessible. Could not have asked for more!
