The house was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the balconies. The beach was incredible. We wanted to find a property that was as close as possible to the water. Even with a bad back and hip access was good. I had several extremely helpful communications with our hosts. We would love to rent this property again in the future.

Great location. Residential area, so no hassle and bustle, which is exactly what we wanted. Amenities like grocery and restaurants were just a few miles away. Close enough, but far enough. House was clean and stocked. Access to the beautiful beach was easy. Foot wash and shower provided were great to rinse off. Couldn't have asked for more.

Bliss on the Beach

Very tastefully decorated but yet child friendly. Check-In was easy. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and nicely labeled. The propane tank was empty when we arrived. Very Quiet and peaceful. The beach front was great and so close to the house. Loved having the shower to clean off the sand. Having the beach chairs and sand toys were great. We took advantage of them not only with the sand but lots of crabbing. The boogie boards were broken but the kids loved taking them in the water anyhow. We did accidentally break a wine glass. We would highly recommend your place.
