Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that everything about your stay was amazing. As a small, family-run boutique, we take great pride in making sure our guests have a perfect experience. We hope you made wonderful memories and would love to host you again—remember, repeat guests get discount on their next stay!
This house was the absolute perfect spot for our family to call home for the week! The location is perfect with just a short walk to the beach. The pool offered some respite from the ocean when the waves swelled. We cooked dinner in the beautiful kitchen and while it did not have every tool that we have at home we were easily able to serve up 5 star meals nightly. The house was clean, comfortable beds, plenty of room for our extended family, and exceeded all of our expectations. We will definitely look into staying here next time we are visiting 30A!
