This was our family’s second stay at Seaside Escape and hopefully will not be our last. This beautiful home is perfectly located to the beach and local restaurants. The host family is very friendly and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this property 10/10!

Thank-you for staying with us, Kelly. Come back anytime!
We had a fantastic stay at this property. It was well appointed, very clean, and the proximity to the beach is so convenient! The neighborhood was nice and very family friendly.
Great location to beach, house had everything we needed. Enjoyed having a shower outback to rinse off with. Loved that we could bring our pet as well. Host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall we had a wonderful experience.
Spent a wonderful week exploring the island. House is located in a very quiet neighborhood and beach felt as though we had it all to ourselves. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Thank-you for staying with us. Come back again soon!
This was a short 2 night stay for us but that did not keep us from the area and the amenities of this home! You guys nailed it! Everything was well thought out and labeled for full usage of the property. Great location with beach access! The beach being more private to the neighborhood vs the main parking lot made for a very peaceful adventure, with well over 40 rentals under our belt in the last 12 months, this place is near if not at the top of our list! Can’t wait to visit again

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
I was a little disappointed about the cleanliness. Upon arrival we had to clean the deck chairs and table, the floors inside were very dirty. We had to sweep and vacuum. You had to wear shoes inside because floors were not mopped. I’m glad we took our own chairs and umbrella because the ones they say they provide were rusted and torn up. Also the gas grill was rusted and we couldn’t use it.
This was our second time staying at this property and it was as good as the first! Great location, great house and awesome communication from our hosts! We wil defiantly be back!

Property well appointed and landlord is very responsive - not that I had much for her to respond to. It's a really great value and steps from the beach.
