The beach was right down the street. There were beach chairs at the house. Walking distance to the zoo. We did a family weekend trip (16 people). There was room for everyone. Big table for playing games. Table and chair outside. Grill for grilling steaks. Host was very responsive to questions. We would stay there again.

House was exactly as described in the listing. Very nice and plenty of space for our family. One of the best things was the fully stocked kitchen which we haven’t had in many of the houses we have rented.

College friends get-a-way

Great house for our group to spend the weekend catching up and relaxing! Really enjoyed the extra bonus of watching three deer in the back yard every morning during breakfast after we enjoying the quick stroll down to the beach.

Beautifully wooded back yard

Alegria is well maintained and furnished. We enjoyed the close walk to the beach, which is huge and fun!! The private back yard is great for early morning coffee and evening dinner and relaxation. So enjoyable!

Sweet & short weekend stay

Our families second visit to the area and we brought friends along with us this time! Perfect location for us- short trip to the amazing zoo, walked on the pier and the kids loved the beach (even though it was kinda cold& windy), and had an amazing lunch at Dunebillies. The back deck was great and we saw deer on the hill behind us every morning and evening.

Nice place that we would like to come back again.

Plenty of room for the 3 generations to gather for meals yet separate for different activities. Enjoyed the front and back patios. Close walk to the beach. Had a problem with a leak in the basement but it was fixed with a new water heater.

Yes - sorry the water heater started leaking - thought it was the air conditioner condensate backing up, but my son noticed the water heater - luckily my guy was able to change it the next day! sorry for the inconvenience! Todd

Great space that easily accommodated our family of 16. Nice backyard deck in quiet wooded setting. Our kids loved exploring the woods behind the house. Nicely decorated space and well equipped kitchen. Walk to beach was manageable with small kids and wagons. Great memories created!
