Family beach vacation

This property and location were fantastic. Being able to bring our old dog was great! Didn't have to worry about boarding her, and we took her on morning and evening beach walks. Communication with hosts was great.

Very Happy!

Property is exactly as described! Short walk to beach path/beach. Very few people on this section of beach. Quiet neighborhood. The house was the perfect size for 4 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs! Already booked for next year!

Our 4th time at this house

The title says it all. We have been to HH 4 times since 2012 and have stayed here all 4 times. This was the first time without a dog but I can attest to this being a wonderful home with or without a pet. There are several updated features since our last visit. I’ll admit, I was a little nervous after reading a few more recent reviews, but I honestly did not find any of their complaints to be valid. The beach chairs were in great shape and the kitchen cabinets are totally fine. I don’t expect the owner to supply my cooking ingredients and the cookware was perfect for our needs. Like most VRBO homes, you should bring/buy laundry and dish detergent and extra toilet paper because there is not daily or mid-week cleaning services. Someone commented on the poisonous snake sign on the beach path. We have never even seen a snake and a poisonous snake can only kill you if you eat it- so don’t. (They meant venomous.) The path is only a block away and is gorgeous. We felt safe going at night, too. The furniture is comfortable and enough for a family. My husband brought his pillow but used the one at the house! The bedding is very comfortable. We had an AC emergency and Maggie had someone out that day to fix it. She is very responsive. The location is about 7 miles from Coligny, but such an easy drive. I prefer being away from the crowds and the Folly Field private gate access area is deserted compared to looking up and down the beach. We can play bocce or paddle ball mid-day and not intrude on anyone. Perfect beach location. I can’t say enough positive things about this home. We weren’t going to HH because the house was booked and then a week opened. I jumped on it. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

Nice Place

Nice clean house close walk to the beach. Pool is nice to have after day at the beach. As others have mentioned it is a bit dated but the price reflects that it is not new. Nice place to send a quiet vacation. Washing machine comes in handy and the large kitchen and bar area is nice.

Beach House

The location was terrific since it was 2 blocks from the beach which was the main reason we stayed there. The house needs some renovation in the kitchen especially the cabinets and some supplies for cooking. The rugs are old. The pool area is nice because property is fenced but pool needs renovation. The pool person should service it when clients arent there because we had to leave for him to do the cleaning. Last the locks to front and patio door were hard to open. The owners are very nice and responded immediately when we had to contact them.

Location, location, location

Great house for our family of four and the pooch. Highlight of the home is the very short stroll to the beach, which is privately gated for the community and was never crowded in mid-July. The pool is also nice, though it’s starting to show a bit of age. The exterior area provides wonderful early evening shade, and the screened area is well lit for bug-free evenings. The bedrooms are big enough and the kitchen is open and inviting for conversation and eating. Overall, the house is totally cozy and comfortable for, I’d say, a family of five, maybe six. Be aware, the beach accessories are at the time of this review dated (rusty and a bit broken) but functional. The living room and dining room furniture is also starting to show its age. If you’re planning on cooking, though the house is finely appointed with cookware, be sure to bring or buy all of your cooking essentials— seasoning, oil, condiments, aluminum foil, etc. The owners were kind enough, though, to provide the necessities for the grill, which was great. Overall, I’d happily stay here again!

Beach access further than shown

Beach access was not far from the house, but it was quite a walk through uneven and woodsy path with caution signs for poisonous snakes. About 400 steps from house to sand. House and pool were very nice and we enjoyed our stay, but we didn’t venture to the beach as often as we normally would.

Relaxing, Secluded and Well-Equipped House

This was such a perfect house for a much needed vacation away from it all. The house had the perfect layout and location (just a 3 minute walk to the beach), and it was both nicely decorated and well-equipped. The backyard pool area was so ideal for privacy - the landscaping made it feel like any neighbors were far away, and everything you would want in a pool area was available: pool floats, table with chairs for outside dinners, charcoal grill, lounge chairs, a screened in porch area. The house came with a beach cart, beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards, so we used the cart everyday for our morning beach visits, and we had everything we needed. There was a private beach access path that was literally around the corner form the house, and the beach area was not crowded and very family friendly (exactly what we we wanted). Because of the COVID-19 crisis, we stayed home each evening and cooked from home, played in the pool, enjoyed time as a family. This house was ideal and I know we will be back. Maggie, the owner, was very helpful with any questions that I had - thanks again.

Pet friendly bungalow

The property was nice, but could use a bit of refurbishment. It’s one of the few pet friendly options in HH, and for that we are grateful. The issues we had (TV and AC) were tended to quickly. Proximity to the beach was good.

“Our” Beachhouse

This is the eighth year we have rented this house. It is the perfect size and location for my family. The yard is partially shady which gives relief from the heat. The fenced in backyard is a plus for our four leggers. Maggie is wonderful to work with and always communicates in a timely manner. I can’t wait until our 9th year.

Nice beach stay

Lots of room in this near the beach home. We had a TV in the master bedroom that didn't work and owners came immediately to replace! Only 2 minute walk to beach. Good location for stores and restaurants. Only thing I'd change with this property is updating furniture, it's a little dated but not bad.

Convenient to beach, good space inside and out. Dog friendly

Pictures are deceiving. Place has aged. Stove in disrepair as is refrigerator. Many light bulbs were out and no extra bulbs in the house. 2 full baths very nice. Could have easily shared with another couple. 4 available beach towels was a nice thing, cart for beach items also helpful. It is seeing a good deal of wear as well. Pool was lovely. No one came to check the pool during the week so we were unsure of the chemical levels. The previous renters had large dogs that pooped all over the backyard and we had to call Maggie to get all the mess cleaned up. She came and took care of that quickly. We left 4 martini glasses and a string of white lights for the deck umbrella as gifts for the house.
