Excellent stay. Loved the house, patio, beautiful view of the beach. Great collection of beach gear that was well maintained and helpful. One bike chain (of the 3 bikes) was broken from the previous guests but they’re fixing that. Overall fantastic and easy experience! Will hopefully return there again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach house. The location could not have been better, with the home sitting right on the beach and offering beautiful ocean views throughout the day. It was so relaxing to step outside and be just moments from the sand and water.The home itself was very comfortable and well maintained. Everything felt clean, thoughtfully arranged, and welcoming, which made it easy to settle in right away. It truly felt like a home away from home.Check in was simple and seamless. The property manager was fantastic to work with, very responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.Overall, this was a five star experience from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway.

Excellent location on 37th Street beachfront. Primarily upstairs unit with downstairs access to the beach. Easy communication, beach chairs and some kitchen amenities available. No Bluetooth speaker on site so bring your own. Patio furniture was outdated and cushions and metal frames were in bad condition. There is a garage and adjacent parking that does need to be paid for. Overall good property

Beautiful spot. 10/10 would stay again. Check in was a bit frustrating as we never received the check in instructions, so we were outside of house for a while on the phone with Vrbo to sort it out. Eventually got the code and made it in. Everything after that was perfect. Great house. Great location. Highly recommend.

The house was fantastic! It’s a great location and we enjoyed being able to just walk out our door to get to the beach. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, including beach toys. We particularly enjoyed the upstairs balcony, where we ate several of our meals while viewing the beautiful scenery.

Host interaction was wonderful. All questions were answered quickly. Whenever I needed help he was so responsive. House is in a beautiful location. It’s nice that it’s a few blocks away from the path to town. Easy to get to the path but more quiet. Views are amazing. The house needs an update. The kitchen is nice. The downstairs has old furniture, broken blinds, old and rusty outdoor furniture. It was just a lot of little things that add up to a house that needs some TLC.
