Amazing view!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location, home, and view. If you are looking for a place that allows you to cook while listening to the ocean waves or bird watch while drinking your morning coffee…book now. Highly recommend this place.

Stunning views and beautiful sunsets. The property is perfectly situated with direct beach access and a short walk to restaurants. The house is older and shows it, but was overall decently clean. The beds and couches are dated and could use updating

Great pet-friendly beach house

We really enjoy that the property is right on the beach with a large deck that provides shade. Appreciated the deck updates (we were last there in 2019). The fenced-in feature is great for our dog. Enjoyed our stay!

This is a place that we will be returning to next year. When we walked inside it was amazing. The open concept and comfort was amazing. The beds were very comfortable. The home was very clean and well stocked with what we needed for our stay. The beach is right outside the deck. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean every night. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Amazing View!

Very clean house in a great location. Amazing sunset and sunrise views right from the deck! The fenced in area under the house was perfect for our dog. We had no issues with the public beach access being close by. Not having any immediate neighbors on either side (other than some neat driftwood sculptures :) ) made for a very peaceful stay. The sliding door to the back deck takes a little bit of effort to open and close, but not a big deal for us. We would absolutely return again!
