My family(and my dogs) loved this house. Great location. I especially liked how nice all the appliances were. The stove, washer, dishes, etc. were really nice. Would definitely stay again. The while house was very well maintained.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the bungalow and especially the porch and beach location. It’s wonderful to hear you had a great stay, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
I gave a 5 star in accuracy of location, however the pictures online do not do this home justice. This home is absolutely beautiful. Very well laid out and an amazing porch for early morning coffee drinking or nighttime reading and relaxing. The home comes complete with a gorgeous kitchen. I only wished we could stay longer so I can use it. Location is absolutely perfect a short walk to the beach. Pricing is high but the home is worth it.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
We truly appreciate you pointing out that the home exceeds expectations in person—we love hearing that it made such a great impression. It’s great to know you enjoyed the layout, the porch for relaxing mornings and evenings, and the kitchen (even if you didn’t get to use it as much as you’d hoped!).
We’re also glad the location made getting to the beach easy and convenient for your stay.
We understand pricing is an important factor, and we’re grateful for your recognition of the value the home provides. We would absolutely love to have you back for a longer stay next time so you can fully enjoy everything the home has to offer!
Property was absolutely gorgeous! We have stayed in this area before and we loved how close to the beach we were. The back screen in porch was our favorite. With the swing and tv we were able to hang out at night and watch a movie with the kids. One night we were even able to hear the live music from the coffee shop. The three bedrooms and three baths were great too. Tips for owners would be to include a broom and a dustpan. There was a small dirt devil but wish I had a broom.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the home and especially enjoyed the screened-in porch—that swing and TV setup really does make for perfect family evenings. It’s great that you were able to relax, watch a movie with the kids, and even enjoy the live music from the nearby coffee shop.
We’re also glad the proximity to the beach and the spacious layout with three bedrooms and three bathrooms worked so well for your stay.
We really appreciate your helpful feedback about adding a broom and dustpan. That’s a great suggestion and something we’ll be sure to pass along to the owner and team for consideration.
We’d love to welcome you back again for another stay on 30A!
We had a wonderful time at this property and its proximity to the beach. This was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids and the outdoor porch was a nice place to relax during the day and in the evenings.

The location is perfect. Quiet and wooded but close to the beach. The house was clean and well furnished. Wish they had beach towels for guests to use. The porch was our favorite place to spend time. Would stay again.
