This was our first time renting a beach house and we were not disappointed at all! The house was beautiful and came with so much extra stuff like beach toys, plenty of chairs, umbrellas for the beach, and even a wagon to carry it all! The fence around the property allowed us to let the children play freely with no worries at all. The host was very easy to communicate with and always responded fairly quickly. I will definitely be renting this house again because it was perfect for our family!

Lovely home, excellent hosts

The home was just as pictured. Great morning walks on the beach. Quiet neighborhood. All amenities listed were present. Very clean & smelled fresh. Comfortable furniture. Two types of mattresses in the guest room so choose the one to your comfort. The hosts are incredibly nice & highly communicative. Will definitely return when we're able. This was our first experience with an online house rental & they made it an easy & excellent experience.

This home was perfect for our family of 4. It was bright and airy and super clean. The home was stocked well with all of the necessities. The hosts were super helpful and very kind. It is a quick 2 minute drive in a golf cart to the beach. It is situated on a pretty bare cul-de-sac so there was no through traffic and the kids were able to play basketball safely. It is fully fenced which we love.

Why they chose this property

Our home is at the end of a cul de sac in a quiet neighborhood. It is a family friendly neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and looks out for each other. We have private beach access so there is not a lot of traffic.

What makes this property unique

Party on the patio with outdoor seating, bar, grill, TV, and firepit. Or relax in the hammock with a good book.
