All four bedrooms have sliding glass doors to large decks and private access to the beach. Every guest gets a glorious sunrise, the best ocean and beach views, and sea breezes. The primary suite is located on the main floor, offering a sliding door to the expansive deck and an en suite bathroom featuring a tiled shower with a removable showerhead and double-bowl marble vanity.
In addition to the sundeck and gazebo, the decks off the bedrooms, living room, and dining room provide a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, loungers, and a swing. There are five TVs, cable service, high-speed internet, and a full-size washer/dryer. Under-house parking, a wet-weather entry, and an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water make escaping inclement weather a breeze.

Absolutely Perfect Beach Getaway
We had the most amazing time at this beach house! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was unbeatable—just steps from the sand with breathtaking ocean views. We loved sipping our morning coffee on the deck and watching the sunset in the evenings. The hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Truly a perfect escape—we’re already planning our next trip back!

Watch out for the Ants
Overall, the house was lovely and in a fantastic location—perfect for enjoying the beach. However, it’s important to know that there are quite a few stairs, so guests should be comfortable with climbing them.
Unfortunately, during our stay, there was a significant ant problem. We found ants inside the house, and our vehicle became infested both inside and out. The issue persisted all week, and we were still finding ants in the car on the way home. Because of this, we couldn’t park near the house and had to leave our vehicle closer to the road to avoid the ants.
While we loved the house itself and its location, the ant situation really put a damper on what otherwise could have been a wonderful vacation. Hopefully, this issue can be resolved for future guests, as the property has so much potential to provide a great stay.
