Repeat guests at this wonderful home. The beach is steps away and the two decks— one upstairs for views and one below for shade— are terrific. The kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms are comfortable. The host is a great communicator and always willing to help. Recommend!

It was a joy to stay in this house. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. The extra touches with decorations, layout, and accomodations were above and beyond. We hope to have many years visiting and making memories with our friends here.

Very nice location on the beach. Right on the ocean. Beautiful views. I would say if some elderly family members come, there are quite a few steps so be careful. Would recommend to friends and family to rent this place!!

This was a great ocean front property. Beautiful views with very few people on the beach. Close to good food and super markets. Clean and well equipped. The deck was fantastic with a sunny top deck and a shady lower deck you could not ask for more in a rental property! We hope to make an annual tradition!
