The house was very clean and a cute backyard to hang out in especially if you have a dog. We loved the location. It’s a very short drive to the strand or Seawall with lots of restaurants to choose from. It was fun walking around the neighborhood looking at the historic houses.

We enjoyed our stay. We were in town for the run like a diva half marathon race. The location was great and we walked everywhere. Beach is easy walk. The host was very accommodating and we arranged a late checkout that was much appreciated. The house was very cozy and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect location for our family spring break. Centrally located to shopping food and beach access. We never had to travel far and there was so much to do here. The home was well kept and suited our needs. Not only did it have space for everyone to have their own privacy but also accommodated our relaxation times!

My family of 5 including our dog loved our stay here. Beautiful & comfortable interior caused you feel right at home. Clean, welcoming and charming are just a few words that come to mind. Literally a short walk from the beach. Washer & dryer to get the sand out your shorts. Lovely back yard with seating around fire pit. Jason always had everything code related sent to us before could even ask “what’s the…” From start to finish a real class act.
