2nd year in a row in the same location and just as satisfied as last year. Great communication throughout and excellent facility
Please contact me separately for a couple of very minor items for attention.

Great stay perfect location
Loved our stay, the property was lovely and the home was cute and clean something to make it more convienient would be to include basic condiments like salt and pepper, maybe some towel hooks in the bathrooms and more counter space in the bedrooms. Overall a great stay
This was the perfect home for 4 adults and 4 teenagers! We enjoyed the space. The kitchen was well stocks with dishes, cutlery, and glassware. Lots of towels too! Quick beach access and a nice pool!
Looking forward to next year’s trip already!!
This property is outstanding in every way. Brand new in a great location. Very well appointed and comfortable and every bedroom has its own bathroom. Made for a really great vacation!
The house is awesome, right across the street feom the beach. Checkin and check out was easy and the commutation was great. It would be nice to have more towels provided, paper towels and toilet paper. With staying 5 nights, I had to go by some paper products.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We are so excited to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
We had an amazing time. Even though we were there for a State track meet and had a busy schedule to keep this place made it extra special to come back to at the end of the long days. Everything from the time you open the door was nothing short of amazing. The living space was so open and inviting. The property itself was clean and smelled so good. Everything was well furnished. The location is spot on to meeting any and all your needs. It sits on a quiet street, which I appreciated tremendously. The beach is just a short walk from the property across the street. You'll get no complaints here. Everyone in my party loved it. This will definitely be on our future list of "home away stays".

Waves vacation October 2024
The waves is a very nice house in a good location. The bedrooms are great and each has its own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped- see below.
Knowing the house is quite new, we do have some recommendations for the owners to make it a little better. There were no hotpads or other kitchen linens. The tub in the first floor bathroom is super slick. Please add some no slip decals on the bottom. The largest/ nicest bedroom on the front of the house is very exposed to street noises and the lights from other businesses keep the room lit up all night. Please put a shade on the door. The exterior stairs were totally wet- even puddling- every morning from roof run off and we were concerned with slipping and falling. I didn’t think to check, but if there are not gutters on that side you may want to add them before someone gets hurt.
I think it was the last day that I finally figured out all the light switches for outside. Labeling them would help.
My only other thought is that if you are real short then you might have problems with the beds because they are very high. There is a step stool though.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s location, bedrooms, and kitchen. We’ll definitely add kitchen linens, address the slick tub, and install a shade in the front bedroom. We’ll also look into gutters for the exterior stairs and labeling the outdoor light switches. Thanks for mentioning the bed height too! We appreciate your insights and hope to welcome you back soon!
