The recently updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, and solid surface countertops, making meal prep a breeze.

You’ll find a full set of real pots and pans, a Ninja blender for smoothies, stoneware plates and cups, beach glasses, and all the spices and condiments you could need. No more settling for a “starter set”—we’ve got the essentials covered, including coffee and coffee maker, toaster, and lots of pots and pan for those evenings you want to stay and grill up your fresh catch from the beach.

Beach Access Made Easy
You’ll never be far from the water with the private boardwalk leading you directly to the beach—just a quick 5-minute walk and you’re ready to sink your toes into the sand. Beach days are made even easier with beach chairs and sand toys available for your use. Whether you’re soaking up the sun or cooling off in the waves, This prime location offers the perfect spot for relaxation and a quick 5 min golf cart ride to downtown

An enclosed outdoor shower is conveniently located just behind the front steps.

We offer the free use of a 6-seat gas golf cart to make getting around town or to the beach even easier. This fun and practical amenity comes with a few guidelines, including a liability waiver and refundable deposit, but it’s a great way to explore the area at your leisure.

Great location right next to the beach.

I had an amazing experience staying here! The house was immaculately clean and just a short 100-yard stroll to the beach, making it incredibly convenient. The host was very communicative, easy to reach, and extremely accommodating. The pictures online don’t do the place justice; the actual house was much nicer than the photos suggest. Overall, it was a great week, and I highly recommend this place!

Perfect space to getaway!

My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this property for my 30th birthday. The owner was so sweet and was responsive to all of our questions. Doggie station was only a few steps away so taking my dog out to potty was really easy. Getting to the beach was SUCH an easy lil walk across the boardwalk. It had all the comforts of home and the grocery store is only a quick drive down the street to stock up on whatever you need. I truly hope we can return to this property again because it was such a wonderful trip!

Convenient, cozy and close to beach

Beach is walkable but if you have heavier items might be worth it to have someone drop them off at the beach as the path is narrow. House was recently remodeled and is beautiful. Having the outdoor patio area was so nice! We found the rooms spacious and bathrooms convenient for all. Host was slvery accommodating and gave us some great tips on where to spot dolphins and were to eat, all were great!!! Of note, if I'm not mistaken the listing says beach towels are provided but they are, so you can leave those at home. Over great place and we will stay again.

Staying in this fantastic house keeps getting better with recent updates making it feel more open and airy! I have stayed here several times when my family comes in from Denver. Adults and kids alike love the comfort and the location that allows us to walk to the beach. There are even beach toys and boogie boards for all to use! I will from now on schedule our beach trips according the availability of this place. The owner was super responsive to any questions that arose during our stay and had great recommendations for fun things to entertain all of us. Thank you Brian!!

Great family house close to the beach

Great property, tons of small amenities like beach towels and chairs and plenty of cookware that made our stay easy! It’s a super quick drive to the beach. The house was clean and comfortable - the front bedrooms are set up well for kids. Overall the only thing missing was a grassy space for the kids, but with the beach so close it wasn’t a big issue. We stayed with two families - 4 adults and 3 young kids and had plenty of space. Would book again!

Lovely home away from home

Enjoyed our stay at this home. Recent remodel provides very nice flooring and updated bathrooms. Home was clean with comfortable beds, extra pillows and extra blankets. We brought extra paper towels, tubs of foods, and beach towels. There is a sprayer outside entryway to wash sand off and rack provided to hang towels. You will be a boardwalk away from beach so no need to drive the van to beach with a ton of sandy kids!
