Spacious, clean house and quick walk to the beach!

The house was beautiful, clean with lots of space for my 3 teens to spread out. Kitchen space was new and we were happy to find it stocked with a keurig and coffee (which saved my husband). Everything exceeded expectations and we wished we could stay longer! Would highly recommend! Plenty of room for a large family or for kids to bring a friend. Great communication with James absolutely no issues the whole weekend was so smooth.

Perfect vacation spot!

We rented from James for Labor Day weekend 2022. He’s a wonderful and right to the point communicator. The home is literally perfect - it has everything you need and it’s modern and clean. We loved the proximity because you can walk easily to Short Sands on Railroad St or you can take the short cut and come right out on Long Sands! Best of both worlds! James’ home has everything you need from laundry to kitchenwares to games. The living room was so comfortable and it has a fireplace with a large TV above with Hulu and other streaming channels. The construction of the building is excellent, solid so it’s quiet and not creaky. All bedrooms have an AC unit, TV and ceiling fans. We will be back. Thank you again, James!

Great house and location

Great house. It has everything one needs. Perfect location for the beach and sightseeing. Nice quiet neighborhood close to everything. Walk to Long Sand Beach and a few outstanding restaurants. The owner was great at communicating through the VRBO app. We would definitely stay here again.
