Just about perfect!

The house was very spacious, clean, accommodating, and quiet. Between the air bnbs and vrbos we have stayed at this might be the best! And it was a very short drive to the beach even with traffic.

No issues at all property was clean and well kept. Note for the owner, the front door is hard to lock, I didn’t notice this until the evening we checked in but thinking back on the position of the lock at check in the cleaning crew may very well have accidentally left it unlocked. May want to have this looked at!

This was a mother-daughter trip. We did not have any small children with us. The community and the house were peaceful. We especially enjoyed the backyard. The proximity of the house to the beaches, restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and gas stations was great. The house had everything that we needed to be comfortable especially during the week when it was cold, the blankets provided were warm and soft. I would recommend staying here if you want space, a quiet time away from all of the beach hustle and bustle, but still close enough to it to have fun. Great stay.

Felt like I was visiting a relatives house in the best way possible! I felt welcomed and right at home, the host set out a few things to make my life with an infant so much easier and that is greatly appreciated! The back yard is huge and we loved just eating our breakfast/dinner out there. As a host (on another site) myself, I felt like everything was cleaned properly and stocked well, thank you for a great stay!

Very kid friendly. Well-stocked on necessities. Very much appreciated the extra snacks and coffee. Great location. Owners did a fantastic job of communicating codes and vital information. The house was in great condition, the beds were comfortable and plenty of towels stocked up! Great time overall!

Visit to daughter attending baby shower!!

I would definitely stay here again. We came to town for my daughter’s baby shower given by her local friends. This house was 1 mile from her house so we close and not in her hair, she came over multiple times a day. Her in-laws from Denver came over to eat and they said they would definitely stay here on future visits if it’s available. Home was spotless and we didn’t need anything as it all was provided.
