Will sleep 6 adults and 2 kids comfortably. I have stayed at this property a few times and will book again for next yr. My only suggestion is a pull out bed couch for the living room for 2 more people to sleep and give a comfortable place to sit in the living room. We took a queen blow up bed for living room.
I’ve rented the same house a couple of times! Everything is always wonderful! Great location, AC cools down fast, beds super comfy & I can always get in touch with the host if needed!

Reviewer Comments:
We had the best time at this place! Loved the fact that it sits on a large beautifully maintained lot with no neighbors on either side. Our balcony views were spectacular for sunrises and sunsets along with excellent views for watching the action on the beach. Excellent location to the Big Store and local eateries. We had 6 adults and 2 kids and dogs. The house was accommodating for all our needs. Can’t wait to rebook for next summer. What an awesome week full of fun memories!!
Great location right on the beach for 3 couples over NYE. Comfy beds. Cargo lift very much appreciated for this over 70 crowd. We added a few Dollar General items to the kitchen, and the cabinet doors would benefit from hinge repair, but overall we had a great time.
Amazing location. The host was very attentive and had excellent communication. Highly recommend if your goal is to have a great stay just steps from the beach!
It was pricey for three nights and we were unable to rent for 4 nights..... 3 or 5 days only which made us have to pay for a nights stay elsewhere. Moving luggage from place to place for older women, made it inconvenient. I think there should be a change in this Otherwise our stay was pleasant right on the beach. The price to use the lift 100 extra. For us again older women, and the cost we already paid...should include the lift. We had a good time and made memories even though.
Beautiful beachfront view!! My husband & I had a beautiful wedding. So much space & great atmosphere. The luggage lift is amazing!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful property!
The house was perfect for us. Having the beach as your backyard is awesome. The host was always a phone call away for anything you might need. We will definitely rent again.
