Absolutely loved everything about this property! We had one issue with the air conditioning, which was taken care off very efficiently and in a timely manner. One warning, we reserved this property because of the fenced in yard for pets, but the 2 gates were missing. We ended up not bringing the dogs, so it worked out. So ask ahead if the gates have been replaced. This property checked all the boxes for us.

The best breeze on the beach

My family and I stayed here this past weekend and the pictures did it no justice I tell you. It was even more than what I expected. Location is amazing. Sits very close to the beach. You can hear ocean waves all night, watch the sunset and even sleep out. Beautiful 2nd deck where honestly is the heart of the house. Sound system ready for whatever mood your wanting to create. Very spacious, seating was more than enough. I brought my hammock and slept with those ocean waves crashing in the background. I have been to many, this one checked all my list! It’s a keeper. Definitely will return time and time again. Thanks you for your home this weekend

Great Beach Stay

The house was perfect! Clean and exactly as described. The location was perfect—just a short walk/drive to the beach and close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent, very responsive and helpful. The only small issue was the door—it was a bit tricky to lock, so a quick note or instructions on that would be helpful. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay again!

Fabulous location & home!!

We booked a last-minute mini vacay for spring break here. The home is gorgeous and was perfect for our group. We loved the outdoor space as well! Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Would love to rent again!
