We came from Arizona and Nebraska for a family reunion. Our grandkids loved the time we spent on the beach because it was so accessible. When we weren’t at the beach itself the views from the house were amazing!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the spacious layout, furnishings, and perfect location. It’s wonderful that your son was able to learn to surf with the board provided that makes us so happy! We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back at any of our 70 coastal properties.
Great property for family with attentive hosts, especially if you have young children. The downstairs bedroom has an adjacent play tunnel filled with toys. The upstairs bedroom has a balcony that is perfect for people watching and the setting sun over the ocean. Plenty of room for the family and nicely appointed with TV, kitchen items, and beach toys.

Location location! The house has everything you need for a family vacation. That being said , Lots of stairs, if you have small kiddos or elderly you gotta be careful. Very quiet neighborhood and the best sunset views. Loved watching the surfers too. BBQ could use an upgrade but overall my family had the best time and can’t wait to go back!

We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share with us your experience. Thank you and we look forward to the next time we're able to host you again.
The place was everything I expected from the listing. It’s such a nice, cozy space, the location can’t be beat, and they had everything we would need for our stay. We got a lot of use out of the beach items that they stocked. The downstairs room is great for kids. There are a lot of stairs but that was clear from the listing. The master suite is phenomenal. If you’re planning to cook you should be aware that there aren’t really any spices, oil, condiments, but to me that’s a small thing considering how awesome everything else was. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was just a lovely place!
