The property is beautiful and comfortable. The floor was slippery the first day and the host quickly offered to have the cleaning team mop to make it less slippery. We declined but as our stay went on the floor became less slippery. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was disorganized but clean. Within walking distance to Pier 33. Walmart was close. Even though the property is only 1 block off the main drag it was peaceful and quiet. I would stay again.

The house is awesome! Plenty of space and the short walk to the beautiful beach was amazing. We've stayed at houses ON the beach that had longer walks. Communication with owners was super easy. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Walmart a couple miles away for all the necessities. I was the tiniest bit concerned with the house being a duplex but it was never an issue in any way, shape, or form. There was never any noise transfer from the other side. The balconies were great for morning coffee and evening refreshments. We would definitely stay in this house again. Bring your favorite beach towels or buy some souvenir towels from the surf shop, the house just has bath/shower/kitchen towels.

Great Dog Friendly escape!

We have to bring our dog with us on any vacations due to severe separation anxiety! There is plenty of green space at this location and sits on a quiet street which makes for great walks after sunset. Only 1 block from beach access. I have walked further with some places being located right on the beach. Check in and out was a breeze. Very accommodating all the necessities you would need for your stay.

Beach Broke

Our family of 4, plus pups, had such a wonderful time at “Beach Broke” over Spring Break! We love this location- only 1 block from direct public beach access, and walkable to some of our favorite restaurants. It’s a 2 story duplex, with stairs going up to the front door. The main floor has a large master, with private balcony and the upstairs 2nd and 3rd bedrooms gave my teen son and daughter their own space, with a shared bathroom and full washer and dryer in between them. There is another private balcony off the upstairs bed. The full kitchen is equipped with all the basics, plus coffee maker (although I we didn’t use). There’s a coffee shop within walking distance we walked to in the mornings. Katy, the owner, is wonderful. She was quick to respond and made sure our stay was perfect. Even offered early check in since our place was ready. Check in is a door code, so no need to go off site to get a key. Very convenient.
