This was the perfect place for our family of 5. Its not a resort so dont expect a resort setting and its not crowded at the property. The 2 spot max parking is tight just fyi but it works. The pictures of the place is exactly as shown online and the walk to the beach is close. The price and location is why we booked this rental and it fully met our expectations and the Host Dona was very nice throughout the booking.

Great beach access

Love that it is right on the beach! With younger kids it makes it so convenient to go back to the room when needed and not have to walk forever. Parking is tight so the smaller the vehicle the better.

Kristie H.

Was alright. Under the impression our view would be directly of the ocean. This was not the case.

Was difficult to park. We have a full size SUV and we did not fit in the parking spaces. Small tight steps leading up to the door. Was clean! Did not have a direct view of the ocean as shown in pictures. Just was not what we expected. All appliances were clean and in working order. Just so sad we could not sit on deck and view ocean. Extremely noisy. Was nice having 2 bathrooms but according to the pictures one of our rooms had twin beds which was not the case. We had bunked style full with a twin on top. Didn't have tv in bedrooms but there were DVD players in both bedrooms.

Quaint and Clean!

Dona's place was just what we were looking for-- steps from the beach, close to local bars and eateries, with plenty of room! We were in town for Hangout Fest and this place was less than 15 minute walk from the concert, which was perfect because shuttles were so over crowded. Dona was available by text whenever needed, which eased my anxiety of using the electronic doorcode (super simple, and easier than a set of keys/lockbox)! She also had plenty of towels and linens which was much appreciated- would definitely rent from her again!
