Perfect family vacation

Back a Bit was the perfect home away from home for our family vacation. We loved having a beach access was right across the road from our house. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. No complaints.

Great house and amazing location

We had a great time at this house with 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 8-11). This second row house is immediately across the street from a beach access point, which made getting to the beach (and getting our stuff to the beach) incredibly easy. The garage downstairs was also great for leaving our beach gear in every day. The house was nice and worked well for our two families of four. It has a decent sized open living space/dining/kitchen upstairs, and the porches were lovely. The second Queen bedroom isn’t big, but it works and has its own bathroom. I’ll just note the TV isn’t a smart TV, so bring DVDs if you want to watch movies (it does have cable though).

Beach Week, August 2021

Great location, beach access was soo close, easy walk across the road! House was true to listing & cozy for 8. Top deck was perfect in the evening to sit out, & enjoy the ocean view & breeze! Dishwasher needs updating… had issues several times, but maintenance addressed it on Friday. Even though no beach equipment was listed, there were several chairs & boogie boards available for use. We loved the outdoor shower & used it more than the one in the master…(funky shower head). Great vacation overall…
