Amenities and all
We absolutely loved our stay. From the moment we walked in the accommodations for two families exceeded our expectations. They had everything from boogie boards to beach, chairs, and umbrellas. We were even able to grill out. The icemaker came in so handy as well as the extra beverage refrigerator.

Great house, great service
My family and I stayed here for a week in July and had a wonderful time. The house is lovely, the rooms quiet and the couple of very small needs we had were responded to same day and right away. Davis was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay at this property again.

As advertised! Great location. Management Company was on top of everything!
Great stay for the thanksgiving holiday. We own a house around the corner and needed a second place for extended family. Beach Habitat was excellent to work with and house was in great condition.
