Beautiful view and private beach. Great open kitchen/ living/ dining area with plenty of seating. Lots of extra fans and blankets. Good seating on patio. Everything you need in the kitchen. Regular and Keurig coffee makers. Owner responds right away, very helpful and easy to talk to. Access to beach requires minor climb down some rocks, but not too difficult. Small kids and older adults were able to. Public beach just outside of neighborhood. Would definitely stay again!

Great on-the water location

My wife and rented this place to meet up with our daughters 19 & 23 for a long weekend. We wanted easy access to beaches and good surfing spots. The house felt very roomy with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and Hugh living area with kitchen facing the ocean. The owner was great to work with and communicated quickly. We will definitely consider renting again.

Just what we were looking for!

This property suited us perfectly: The front patio fronting on the ocean, and a 1950's beach house that was fundamentally unchanged from when it was built. Nothing fancy, everything pretty basic, but remarkably functional. But, it's not for everyone. There are large rocks that need to be navigated to get to the beach (this grandmother had no trouble with that), the kitchen small. But the living area is quite spacious with basic but comfortable furnishings. And the things that mattered to us were in place: a fully stocked kitchen, boogie boards for adults, and beach toys for the kids, and a deck from which we could watch the kids frolicking in the waves. The owners were communicative throughout, honestly conveying the nature of the property to make certain it suited us. The photos clearly and accurately convey the property. We miss it already!
