The location is amazing. You can whale watch from the living room and the upstairs balcony. The beach is about 1/4 mile walk but there’s a lot of stairs (we counted 132). If you’re it reasonably good shape it’s not a problem. It’s a short drive to free parking at the beach or you can park in the state park for the 10 day use fee.

The property is right across the street from the bluffs overlooking Seacliff Beach State Park. We made full use of all the property had to offer. Watched the sunset from the front stairs and marvlous breakfasts on the upper deck overlooking the ocean. The only little inconvenince was no tub or shower on the lst floor which was difficult for folks with mobility challenges.

Really lovely house and set up right above the beach. Everything as advertised; we were able to cook dinner and other meals in the kitchen, kids loved the many games available, and tons of beach toys and chairs in the garage. It was the perfect setup for lazy evenings on the upper deck watching the water, mornings sitting on the porch, and super easy access to beaches and the local shops and ice cream store. We would absolutely stay here again, it was great for multiple families with a range in age of kids.

The house was perfectly situated on Seacliff Drive near to a family member's residence which made our post-Christmas family time together very peaceful and nice. The house is maintained at a very high standard and had beautiful views of the ocean.

This home is clearly cared for with a lot of love and attention. Everything was well maintained, comfortable, and inviting. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked—truly the best we’ve ever experienced in a rental—which made cooking and gathering so easy. The location was excellent, and the family room furniture and kitchen table comfortably accommodated our entire group. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay! The welcoming atmosphere of the home and the beauty out the living room was a welcome sight!!! Maureen was a delight and so helpful. The place was immaculate, well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds, a wonderful sight from the balcony, beach "gear" to use, an outdoor shower, making it possible to not carry sand into the house, etc. We definitely would stay here again and would recommend to anyone!!
