High School Girls Weekend
Our group was there October 29th through November 3rd, 2024. Our group consisted of 6 women who have been friends for over 50 years! This property met all our needs. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We enjoyed the open concept living are and the elevator!! The neighborhood was beautiful and safe. We will rent again!

House semi handicap accessible
Comfortable home; accommodated 18 adults well. 2 adults had mobility issues. MBR and basement bath both had handicap bars but bed in MBR was way too high for them to use. Elevator small but accommodated 2 people; one with a walker another with a cane. Private deck to beach has stairs. From deck end to beach thick sand. Beach wheel chairs available at fire station which helped. VRBO fee excessive. Best to book directly with spinnaker’s realty.

Oceanfront Stay
Beautiful house and was decorated to the nines! It had everything we needed and more. We loved sitting on the deck and looking at the ocean as the waves rolled in. Would most definitely stay here again. The pool was clean and perfect size. The only thing I would say is that even though it has an elevator, it is not handicapped accessible. Hard to maneuver a wheelchair around. Thank you to the owners! You outdid yourselves!

Wonderful Christmas Vacation
This was our first-time spending Christmas at the beach, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ever After. The home was so warm and welcoming. We will definitely recommend this property to others, and we plan on booking another stay in the near future.

Great space ,
We had a wonderful time. The pool was great and so was the access to the beach. It was a great house for children and the family dog. Loved the elevator for groceries and suitcases. Lots of sitting room!

Large, but needs cleaning/maintenance
First the good, it is in a beautiful location with great views. There was ample space for our family to stay (9 adults and 4 children), and there were even extra bunks available. The kitchen was very well equipped, and I shouldn't have needed fear for a large pot or semi-decent knife. There is another full size fridge in a small area just off the kitchen that also houses the washer and dryer. There was ample parking and I suppose we could have parked in the garage as well. Almost all of the outdoor stairs had the first board replaced on them.
Now, the view was great once we cleaned the windows so we could see out of them. I get it, sea spray, but seriously those things hadn't been cleaned in well over a month. The front door had black dirt caked on it, toilet bowls were caked with crud around the rim, and the furniture in the dining room is VERY stained (upholstery and rental don't go together). There were boogers on the bath room wall. Really. They had vacuumed, but not under any furniture to include beds and sofas.
Maintenance wise, the dishwasher was not anchored into the cabinetry. When it had shifted and nearly fell out, I called the rental agency who told me they were having trouble with the contractor. The next day they sent their maintenance guy (very nice guy) to try to "MacGyver" it. It didn't work. So don't try to pull out both racks at once. In addition, furniture was missing knobs or had legs that looked like they could give at any moment. The deck furniture is literally falling apart with the exception of one Adirondack chair. The pool was nice,but had a gaping hole with electrical wires sticking out where the light should have been. I understand the electrical was disconnected, but fix it properly. There was a pool piece, literally, on the pool deck the entire time. The "gates" on the back stairs did not have proper latches, and when they fixed one, it was a hook and eye where a child could reach it.
This can be a fabulous property worth the thousands that we spent to stay there, however as it stands I can't recommend it at this price. It needs cleaned, furniture repaired/repainted, general maintenance, and a little TLC. Is it the worst house I ever stayed in? No. But it is the most expensive, and I've stayed in better places for less.
