Darlene is fantastic! Communicated so well throughout the stay. Check in was a breeze! The house is cute as can be. It is very clean and the kitchen is so well stocked. Sharpest knives I’ve ever used at a rental! The master bedroom is large and new as is the bathroom. The view of the ocean every morning was such a treat. There is ample space for everyone. The second bedroom is medium size w a large closet. The full bath off of the bedroom is clean and large. It is close enough to restaurants to walk. We went to Sandos which is literally around the corner and they have great sandwiches during the day. The tiki bar is fun and you can just walk home. Really wonderful stay. Highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Location was fabulous! Beach access was so close and chairs and umbrella were provided which were appreciated.

Beachy escape

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this property. Our host was so nice and very responsive. I totally messed up our date of arrival but our host immediately recommended an alternative place to spend our first night. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the upper deck which has a gorgeous view of the ocan. We highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay

Property has a great view of the ocean, especially from the balcony. Location is in a great area with everything you could possibly need or want to do near by. Beach is private access and a two minute walk away. Very family friendly. The owner, Darlene, is awesome and very easy to contact. She truly cares about her tenants. The property is well stocked with essentials and more. It was also very clean when we arrived. We will definitely be staying here in the near future and telling our friends and family about this place.
