Perfect Getaway

Our family loves staying here! It has lots of beds and blankets and the property management company is very responsive. We feel well taken care of and it is heaven staying right on the beach. The newly remodeled kitchen is spacious with a large sink and all the appliances we need!

Great ocean view and access

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a nice little unit. Remodeled bathrooms, and well equipped kitchen. We were fortunate to find this place for the dates were were interested in (5 days before Thanksgiving Day) A few minor improvements would go a lone way. It would benefit from room darkening curtains in the two ocean view bedrooms. Only one bedroom had a chest of drawers or dresser. A towel rack in downstairs bath would nice. There are plenty of dining chairs but the table can only seat 6. No washer/dryer is a disadvantage but it's recognized in the rental price.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this exact home over 30 years ago and were pleasantly amazed at all the upgrades. Very comfortable for 6 of us and loved the new floors and updated kitchen. Owner did a great job. Only thing we could think of was a new patio umbrella. Was pretty rusted with some duct tape repairs, otherwise everything else was great.

Perfect for our family

The location is ideal, being right on the beach and close to town. The waves are very loud, so if you have a hard time sleeping you might bring earplugs. We loved that this beach is unpopulated so we could truly enjoy nature at its finest. The property is clean, and doesn’t smell like chemicals. My family is sensitive to molds, detergents and chemicals and we have no problems here. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We got a little chilly at night but they had plenty of extra blankets in every room. The property management company was lovely to work with. We loved this place so much we booked it for next year!

The space was clean and bright and inviting from the moment we arrived. The ocean waves were breaking not but 100 yards from the wall of windows. Easy access to everything in town and we can hardly wait to book this location again and again.
