We really enjoyed our stay. The house was roomy, clean and steps from the beach. The only thing that I would change is add a dumbwaiter to lift up the luggage and supplies.

The location of this property was perfect for our birding excursions in the High Island area. Also, being right on the beach was a big bonus. Sleeping arrangements were terrific…many beds located in different areas. For a beach house it was pretty clean. It was a bit more rusty and used feeling than the pictures showed, but overall very great experience. We would definitely book again for a group on birding trip next spring.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review Kristine. We’re really glad the location worked out well for your birding trips and that you enjoyed being right on the beach. It’s also nice to know the sleeping arrangements fit your group comfortably and that you found the place generally clean. I’m sorry to hear the home felt more worn and rusty than expected we’ll take a closer look at both the maintenance and the listing photos to ensure they provide a more accurate reflection of the property. Your feedback is very helpful, and we hope to welcome your group back next spring for another stay by the shore.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house! It's not difficult to get there and check in was easy. The home was clean, peaceful, and perfectly quiet, just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. I loved being so close to the beach and truly appreciated how comfortable and welcoming the space felt. I would absolutely love to return!
Just me, my tumbler and the ocean.

Great Home

Loved the house! It's nice and big and the home is well maintained and nicely decorated for the area. We stayed a week with 8 people. The home comfortably fit us all with plenty of space and bathrooms. The only thing we found issue with is the doors to the loft balcony leaked when it rained. Maintenance came and it will be fixed after out stay. It rained 3 of the 7 days so we had to keep an eye out for water on the floors. Overall great vacation. We will be renting again!
