We had a nice visit. The oceanfront was great and the house was good for a family vacation. The beach can get quite busy but we could always retreat to the house.

Family Vacation

Being on the beach is the best. This property is next to the entrance to the public beach. We had to go out early to save our spot in front of the house; however, being at this location had a lifeguard stand right there. Kitchen is very small and table only sits 6. We had 10 people so eating had to be done in shifts. Upstairs bedrooms were roomy and view was great. If you have kids, bunk room worked perfect. Oh, bring extra forks.

Amazing location!

Great house with plenty of space. Seeing the sunrise over the ocean from bed was spectacular! The kitchen has all the pans and dishes you need. Three full baths and one of the upstairs showers was huge! Be sure to bring everything with you but sheets. We arrived to no soap at all and 2 rolls of TP for a 3 bathroom house. The staff was great. They answered the phone and fixed our entry code problem even though we arrived after hours. The furniture was comfortable except the mattresses upstairs need to be replaced.

D&K

We loved the house and had a fabulous time. Will definitely come back and recommend it highly. The sunrise each morning was AWESOME! Evenings on the dec on the beach were so relaxing. Favorite part was sleeping with the doors open and hearing the waves every night. One small thing. The locks to the back doors were challenging. We didn't see the sign at first on how to work them. We didn't realize that the house was right next to the beach access. Didn't catch that in the pictures. However, because it was off season, it was quiet and not much traffic. Again, can't say enough how fabulous it was for us.
