Great location with an easy walk to the beach access! Comfortable with lots of charm. Well stocked kitchen and we loved the partially covered deck! We would absolutely visit again!
Location was great for easy beach access and walking around a peaceful beach neighborhood. All pictures and descriptions were accurate. We were here for 4 nights during 4th of July weekend and we would stay here again.
House is wonderful, clean, comfortable and a great location with easy access to the beach. The dunes block the beach view if you hope to just sit on the porch and enjoy a quiet view but still can’t beat being able to walk a few feet and be at one of two beach access locations for immediate access to the sand and water. Host was immediately responsive when we had an issue and resolved it quickly. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
