The house is beautiful. I actually got married there 14 years ago. The beach is just a few steps out the back door. The house has anything you need for grilling, seafood boil or a breakfast spread. If you have questions or need anything the host is quick to respond! I Highly recommend this house!

This house was perfect for our family. We travel every year with a large group and this house had all the big things and all the little things that make a great family vacation. So many supplies in the kitchen, coffee makers, air fryer, toaster, lots of pots and pans and dishes. Extra refrigerator that we used for drinks. There was a pack and play, baby gate and high chair there, as well as folding tables. Host is VERY responsive. We had one small issue and it was handled within a few hours. House is on the beach and we loved it.

Property was very nice, clean, on the beach, and had beautiful views. Unfortunately, there was extremely loud construction next door from 7 AM to around 5 PM every day of our stay. This woke everyone in the house and made it difficult to site on the deck. Had we been made aware in advance, we likely would’ve looked elsewhere.

This was a family event and everyone enjoyed the stay. All aspects of the Beach house was easy from initial entry to closing out. The bedrooms, kitchen and common areas were well done and very nice. We had Thanksgiving there and were pleasantly surprised the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare and cook our specialties. Being located on the beach was nice and it was a short walk to the water. Thank goodness for the lift as it is definitely needed. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend the House on the Beach.

This was truly the best place we have ever stayed !!! The walk to the beach was very short and perfect, plenty of space for everyone, kitchen was really stocked with any gadget, dish, or pot/pans you need, and lots of extras like books to read, games, extra pillows in bedrooms, an electric blanket, beach chairs and toys, and lots of baby items like a high chair and pack n play. So much thought of the owners for the things guest might need ! And… the elevator was a game changer for sending up luggage and groceries!!! We will definitely book again !!! Thank you for an amazing week !!!
View from the porch ! Such a short walk to beach!
