The house was beautiful and so comfortable! In a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to multiple, wonderful coffee shops! Beach is within view at the end of the street where it was nice for a walk. The rooms were well-appointed and enjoyed the family area for watching television together. Definitely will stay here again!

We had a great stay at this home. It's location is perfect for us; near the beach and all our favorite places. The host was very responsive when we had questions. There's plenty of space. The outside area seems like it would be wonderful in the summer. We were here in the winter so didn't spend time just sitting outside.

We had an amazing stay at this home and can’t recommend it enough. It’s just a few houses from the beach, yet what stood out most was how comfortable and inviting it felt. Every detail and amenity was thoughtfully provided, even a white-noise machine in the master bedroom, which was such a pleasant surprise. We would absolutely stay here again and give it our highest recommendation.
