Check out: 10 am


★ DOGS ALLOWED ★
We love those little (and not so little) furry bundles of joy, but we limit them to two dogs per reservation. Please keep them off the beds and couches. They must be crated when left at the house alone. A $50 per night pet fee applies. Please add your dogs to the reservation (same place that you add your number of guests). Additional fees may be charged after your stay if there is damage or excessive cleaning is required (such as mud on the couches or comforters).


★ NO SMOKING INSIDE ★
Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence will result in a $500 fee for odor removal, duct cleaning, and furniture cleaning.


★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits. Quiet hours are 10 pm-7 am.


★ NO MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE ★
The house sleeps a maximum of 10 people. And since it is on a septic system, we do not allow more than 10 people in the house at any time, including during the day. This will cause wear-and-tear on the septic.


★ BOOKING DETAILS ★
We do require our guests to be 25 or older to rent. ID verification is required.


Any violation of these rules could result in you being asked to leave without a refund.


Note: The property has exterior cameras in use for your safety and for the security of the property. One is a Ring doorbell by the front door and the other is a Ring floodlight camera over the driveway.

The two cameras are working 24/7 and for security purposes.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Amazing Family Friendly House

Our family stayed here during spring break, and it was the perfect beach getaway without the usual crowds. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the beach was never too busy. Austin was incredibly kind and always quick to respond to anything we needed. The house was ideal for our multigenerational family—kids, parents, and grandparents—offering plenty of space for everyone. The couches were super comfortable, and the home was stocked with everything we needed for a fun beach trip. The kids especially loved the bunk beds, complete with chargers at each one—perfect for teens!
