A family tradition
Our family has been visiting this beautiful retreat for the last three years, and every year we love it more. Barb is a wonderful host, attending to our every need and even anticipating needs with thoughtful additions to the amenities each year. This is no zombie rental that was clearly set up with short-term rentals in mind (you know the ones ... bare minimum supplies and furniture from a big box store). This is a family home, with everything a family would want for a getaway. Pool toys? Check. Lawn games? Check. Loads of linens? Check. Board games? Yep. Cookout supplies? You bet. Bedside device chargers, Alexas, outdoor speakers? Okay, you get the idea. And the location can't be beat. This has come to feel like our second home, and we can't wait to go back!

One of our best vacation spots ever! Beautiful view, amazing pool and five minutes to the ocean. Plenty of room and amenities. Stocked for everything you would need. Quiet neighborhood. Peaceful and relaxing. Wish we could have stayed longer! The family loved it and didnt want to leave.

Another great summer!
This is the third year we’ve rented and it feels like home now. A Very amazing home with a very amazing view and pool. The last two years we never wanted to leave. Ate almost all our meals looking out at the water or on the deck of the pool. This year we did venture out to a few museums and a restaurant or two, but we didn’t stray far. We had a one and a half year old with us this year and he loved the little strip of sand at the waters edge. thank you again Barbara for a wonderful week!

Perfect Getaway!
This house has everything you need to have a relaxing, fun-filled stay with family or friends. The house, property, and pool are immaculate. The house is spacious, filled with sunlight, and extremely well stocked. Barbara is responsive and very helpful. This was our second year coming as a family, and we rebooked again for next year! We can't wait to come back to this truly special place.
