We had an amazing time at the house earlier this week. The house is beautiful, with large glass windows that provide unobstructed views of the ocean. Stairs from the deck lead straight to the beach. Will be back again.

Fantastic location - loved the easy access to the beach. Comfortable bedrooms and nice common area - we enjoyed the puzzles and children’s books. We also loved the big deck. Check in was easy. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, flatware, pots and pans and we appreciated the outdoor grill.

Really nice location if you want to stay right on the beach! Gorgeous deck views. One of bedrooms is a loft so privacy is limited for a larger group.

Ocean at your feet

It was so fun for all . Lots of places to cluster together and visit. The issue with the heat down stairs was resolved quickly with the fire wood and it worked fine .

Host was helpful but we had no water in the house when we arrived. It took phone calls and waiting for the water company to reconnect service.

Beautiful home on wonderful beach

This home was perfect for our us, our kids and grandkids ages 8-13! We loves the open floor plan, floor to ceiling windows and huge extended deck. We watched at least 10-15 whales breaching and splashing each day. The watee remp was perfect for boogie boarding and stand up paddle boarding.The beach seems almost private, not congested at all.We had several corn hole tournaments on the spacious back deck and loved the gas bbq.All bedrooms were very comfy and the bunkroom was a huge hit with the grandkids.Close to stores and dining spots.Property management was very professional and responsive to our questions.We can't wait to return to The Waves next year!

Super week-end dans cet appart avec une vue magnifique.Seul petit bémol: appartement un peu bruyant car au rez de chaussée donnant sur la route du remblais très passante. Mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de passer un super week-end. Merci Eric.
