The space and location were great for our group (6 adults, two kids). The house is well stocked with everything you might need (laundry pods, beach toys, wagon, kitchen supplies, kids toys, etc). The walk to beach is short and the house has a house perfect for rinsing everything after the beach. If you have issues with the house temperature not cooling fast enough, work with the owners since the thermostats gave us some trouble. The two spots off street for parking worked well and we parked a third car in the street. It’s a great space and I highly recommend.

Fantastic family beach vacation

Our three generation family spent a wonderful week at this lovely renovated beach house. It’s a short block to both the beach and the river. It’s well laid out with plenty of seating and very well provisioned with cleaning supplies, paper products dish ware, games, and toys. The owner was very thoughtful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
