Wonderful house for our family vacation. Being able to walk directly onto the beach was perfect! Steve, the owner, was great with communication. The house could use some upgrades, especially a new hall rug upstairs, but overall it was a great stay.

Steve was a fantastic host, very communicative and gave terrific recommendations to local restaurants. The house is as advertised and right on the beach. To top the trip off, on our last night, the sea turtle nest in front of the property hatched, which was a great way to end the trip. Would definitely consider revisiting.

Overall, a great stay right on the beach. Not crowded at all during the week. A few small changes that I would make but would not prevent me from renting again- a headboard in master bedroom, and the twin bed trundle mattress was flimsy.

Property was exactly as listed, clean, and with all the features we were looking for, right on the beach front. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We appreciated the gates on the beach side deck to keep our dog confined. The host was easy to communicate with. We would love to rent this property again.

Spring Break getaway

We enjoyed our stay for a little family/grandparent getaway for spring break. Perfect location, quiet beach, and the kids woke up each morning excited to walk out the back door to play in the sand. Host was responsive, knowledgeable about the area, and we would stay here again!

We love staying here. The beach literally comes to your house. That deck, upper and lower is fabulous. Walking on the beach every day is amazing. The house is cozy, spacious and has a full kitchen plus dining table. Location is perfect. We love it and we will be back.
Yes you’re this close to the ocean
