Family Vacay!😊

Even though the weather was not cooperative, our stay was wonderful. The host was the best, the house was well stocked, clean and very close to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much, especially in such a nice house.

Beautiful home, perfect location, caring hospitality. We will 100% be coming back again. The neighborhood is gated and quiet, and the house is a short 3min walk to the beach. Communication with the host was amazing, pleasant and fast!

Wow experience!

We had an incredible stay to celebrate our daughter’s 25th birthday. The house is beautifully decorated and in pristine condition. Each room is cozy and inviting, and the beds are very comfortable and spacious. We were just steps away from what felt like our own private beach, this home is truly a treasure that we will plan future trips to.

Relaxing girls weekend

My stay at the lovely beach house was absolutely perfect. I enjoyed everything about this Beach house with my girlfriend for a weekend getaway. The house is very clean and has all the essentials that you would need for a weekend. Beach is just a walk away. The neighborhood is clean and quiet. If you are looking for a nice house close to the beach for a girls trip or family getaway, this is a perfect house to book.

Amazing house

My family of 4 really enjoyed this house. The home was very clean , and fully loaded with everything you could possibly need for your stay, plus some. I appreciated the quality of the pots, pans etc. sometimes that can be hit or miss with rentals, but not with this one. We rented a golf cart to drive to and from the beach. You have the option to walk as well, both are convenient and close options with bridges to cross over for walkers and golf carts.

Exceptional property and host

The house is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and thoughtfully appointed. The property offers easy access to a lovely stretch of beach and sits on a large lot so you’re not crowded by other houses. We loved the views and birdwatching opportunities, and appreciated how comfortable the house is. The owner could not have been more welcoming. She made it an great experience from beginning to end.

We really enjoyed this beach house

The beach house is beautiful and very well supplied -paper products, spices, bath supplies and beach supplies. And any kitchenware you could need.We stayed for a week. It was so quiet around us. We could see the water between the front row houses and hear the waves most days. Plus, the back side is on some ponds where birds may hang out. And frogs! We were very comfortable and happy at the house. Hope to visit again!

COZY BOHO ELEGANCE!

These pics don’t do this home justice- So much charm with textures and art pieces but cozy and comfortable. Immaculately clean, the beds were luxurious and the bathrooms were well stocked. The kitchen has anything you’d need with ample dining table to eat or play games (also provided 😁) Lots of extras are stored in the garage for you to enjoy at the beach- chairs, balls, toys, etc. Just a few steps to the beach in front and a Bird refuge at the back allows gorgeous sunsets on the huge deck. Great restaurants, grocery and shops are close by, too. The Girls weekend was fabulous!! Hope to visit again! Thanks so much!

Best Beach House

This wonderful beach house was a blessing to rent. When you walk in the door you just feel peace which made me feel so relaxed. The decorations are amazing in every room. I started comparing other places to this one with the looks and decorations and it was the best. The walk to the beach is closer than some of the front row houses. So for the price this was a great deal. It only took 3 minutes and a beautiful stroll to the beach. I love the neighborhood, so peaceful and family friendly. I will rent this place again. The kitchen had everything I needed and the view of the birds and pond out the back was breath taking. The new deck and seating on the front porch had a great view of the ocean. This house definitely gets a 5 stars from me!
