We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House and would absolutely recommend it to others. The location was perfect...peaceful, scenic, and incredibly convenient for our plans. The views were truly stunning and made the whole experience feel special from start to finish.The home itself was thoughtfully set up and designed for a long weekend stay. We were in town for a wedding, and a small event we hosted at the house went perfectly! It was exactly what we had hoped for and couldn’t have turned out better.There were just a couple of minor issues worth noting. The bunk bed didn’t feel stable enough to comfortably accommodate a guest, and we were surprised to find that there was no toilet paper provided. These were small inconveniences in an otherwise fantastic stay. Overall, this is a beautiful property in an amazing location, and we’d happily stay here again and fully recommend to others!!

Perfect location for beach getaway

We loved our week here! A perfect spot for a multi-generation gathering from age 4 to 78. The location is so close to the beach (with lifeguards), but away from the real crowds at other beach accesses. The back deck overlooking the sound is magnificent. All the house amenities were a huge hit - fitness room, pool and ping pong tables, grill and paddle boards. We couldn't have asked for more.
