Gorgeous home
Kate's place has everything we need for a perfect vacation. The house is clean and spacious with comfy beds. There are plenty of amenities; you won't have to make extra trips to the groceries store for every single little thing like dish pods or laundry detergent. The free beach tram is so convenience as we have kids and elderly in our group. You won't regret booking this home.

We love this house so much. It is clean, beautiful, spacious, close to the beach, yet very affordable. Both the host and the staff at the beach pavilion were so kind and professional. The host even partners with local businesses with zero benefit to herself, just to get us discounts. We had the best time here and would love to be back in the future.

Great place
Great place, host was very responsive and gave clear instructions to make to the stay completely seamless. The tram was always available to take us to the beach, but the walk was not bad either. Would recommend!
Kate responded quickly to assist us with anything we needed. The house was well equipped with everything necessary for a perfect stay and more. It was so cozy and inviting. We also thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood. It was safe, everyone was friendly, and it was walking distance to some great spots! We were sad we had to leave!
