We had a wonderful week at this house! Very short walk to the beach, lovely pool with a nice combination of sun and shade with plenty of lounge chairs, well equipped kitchen, and a table large enough for our group of 11 to eat together and play games. It was nice having a bathroom for every bedroom. Larry was an excellent host, responding within minutes to our questions. Highly recommend this place!

We had such a great stay at Larry”s home. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. There were extras like beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and even baby essentials like a pack and play and highchair. The homes furnishings were a bit dated, but everything was well maintained and clean. There was plenty of space for our group, and the house was a comfortable place to relax when not at the beach. Which is only a stones throw from the public beach access. The homes private pool and decks were perfect places to start and end our day, especially with the ocean views/breeze. Overall, we had a very nice stay and appreciated having everything we needed for our visit. We would gladly return!

We loved having each bedroom with its own bathroom. The pool was smaller than we expected, but still very nice. The puzzles all had at least one or two missing pieces unfortunately. In the dining room, lights did not work even when we tried to change the lightbulb so not sure about that. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a beautiful home. Very close to the beach.
