This house was absolutely perfect for our family beach vacation. The beds and pull out couches were plentiful and comfy, lots of options for 3 families with kids 3-19. The walk to beach access was easy and the pool was a nice break from the salt water. Plenty of bathrooms & well-appointed kitchen, lots of parking & lots of porch choices for sitting outside to watch the rain, stars, and sunset. Would definitely recommend!

Perfection!

This is the perfect place for our family. It is within an easy walk to the beach. It is a spacious place - well kept, clean - has anything we might have needed. Of primary importance to us - with 3 young teenage grandchildren - is the private pool. It was wonderful!
The hammock was a relaxing respite for adults and kids alike!
Pool time = fun time, especially on those sweltering 95 degree days.
Fun in the pool.

Great place for a family reunion

The towels were plentiful, and rooms large with lots of space for us. There were a few minor items that could have used a little more attention. However the location and views from the top floor were amazing and we loved every moment there!

We had a great time here. The house is perfectly clean and spacious. Close to the beach. Pool was just enough. We grilled our fish from a fishing excursion. It was a wonderful week here.

Family Vacation

I am also hesitant to give this place too good of a review because we would love for it to remain available for future vacations. The house has a great location with us walking to lunch, dinner, ice cream, putt-putt, go-carts, and groceries throughout our stay! The house was in great condition and fit our extended family of 12 comfortably!

Family Vacation

I had previously commented directly to the host, but our stay was fantastic. The house was great, as is the location. What can I say, except we had a great time, without complaint from the guests. The pool option just added to the experience. We would definitely do it again.

Well appointed beach + pool home

Great home to accommodate our multi-generational family reunion. We loved how close the house is situated to the beach access, the outdoor living space, pool and open floor plan on the main floor. Plenty of extra towels which was nice for a large group. A bit surprised no beach towels were provided but we appreciated all the beach chairs & wagon to make trips to beach easy. Overall great stay. Thank you!!

Family Get-Away

I cannot say enough that this was our favorite family vacation house! We had six adults and littles ages 3mo -13yo. There was enough space for all to have their own space as well as comfortable areas to be together. The pool was clean as was the house! The beach was a super short walk away. The beach had ample space to spread out an enjoy!! Wonderful week!!

The only real complaint I can think of is that there were no kitchen wash cloths or kitchen towels. Also wish would have supplied a few more toilet paper rolls for the bathrooms.

Beautiful home, clean and conveniently located. Pool was great, clean and accessible. Loved the walkability to the beach. Some things needed refreshing, like kitchen pots and pans. Need a large one for a boil. Bathrooms have mold growing around vents likely due to moisture from showering. Barn doors to baths need a handle inside the bathroom. Would stay again, overall a great home.

Magical

This house was perfect. There were so many wonderful little areas to sit and relax - decks, porches and nooks. Our family of 5 had ample space and my mother stayed in the bottom floor apartment which was very convenient and no steps to worry about. The beach was a short walk. Could.not have asked for more.
