Great host
The property was very nice. Close access to the beach.A lot of activities stocked in the home for rainy days and for some downtime . The house was equipped with all of your necessities for your trip. The host responded back in a timely manner and was very welcoming with any questions or concerns.

Thanksgiving stay...
Perfect place for a family holiday! My grown kids enjoyed the huge living room for their toddlers to run around in and my littles LOVED all the fun activities under the house ("axe" throwing, ping pong, corn hole, even a little putt putt area!). We all very much enjoyed the hot tub and the short distance to the beach. Everything was wonderful and can't wait to come back!

Best week ever!
This house was so clean and welcoming! Our kids ranged from 2-10 yrs old, they never got bored. They offered plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The hot maintenance man came by while we were in the hot tub and was so nice, offered to come by the next day. The view from the deck was awesome! Any questions we had the host answered very quickly and were always understanding and polite! They are pet friendly also. We can't wait to come back!

great middle of the island house
First of all this house is great for families, lots for teens to do and it's literally a quick two block walk to the beach with direct beach access. The house is comfortable and nothing fancy at all, but the host had even the small details taken care off. Beds are comfy, plenty of bath towels, and beach towel. Beach chairs, coolers, and even a beach cart to get everything to the beach. The Hot tub is very well taken care of, I was there when the pool guy came to service it. If you have a crowd looking for a laid back time in a great location this is the place to be.
