So close to the beach!

This property was so close to the beach - a quick walk of about 3 blocks. Close to two entrances. The beach is wonderful. It was great having two parking spaces, and so nice to have 3 BR and 2 baths. Good AC, good appliances. Beds were comfortable. We didn't do really any cooking. Nice TVs - including one in the main bedroom. Everything worked well. The property is a tad on the tired side, and it's definitely a little tight for a longer stay. But the proximity to the beach outweighs everything!

We had a wonderful time here! FANTASTIC location and super cute house (especially the backyard!). The only tiny thing missing were a few basics like hand soap and salt/pepper, but we would definitely stay here again!

Easy Walk To Beach.

Overall the place was fairly neat and functional. But, the kitchen could have been cleaner. We arrived to crumbs on the counter and one very dirty griddle stored in the oven. But there's a working dishwasher. We did have to fight an army of small ants in the kitchen for the entire week/ stay. These things can and should have been easily addressed beforehand, and it was a bit unfair that we needed to deal with that, particularly given additional, expensive fees charged by the owner and VRBO which we had to pay for cleaning and other non sense. Gas grill tank was empty. Entry doors and one interior one and a kitchen cabinet were in need of some minor repairs.

Perfect Weekend Away

We had a wonderful time at Dionne's property! The place was extremely clean, close to everything and contained everything we needed all weekend long. We ran into an issue with the heat and hot water not working however Dionne had someone there within the hour to fix the issue. Thank you for a great weekend! We'll definitely be looking to book again!

Amazing summer getaway, as always!!

We have stayed in Dionne’s house during previous summers. The location of her home is perfect! We were steps from the creek, where we went paddle boarding as well as canoeing and swimming. The beach is a block away and in pristine condition. The waves and water temperature were delightful! We had sun all week, we really lucked out! Dionne’s home is equipped with everything needed for a vacation. We prepared our own meals and found everything with ease. A big favorite of ours is the private outdoor shower! A big plus as well is having two full bathrooms and being pet friendly! We will definitely be back next summer, thanks again for your great hospitality!! :)
