Perfect Beach Getaway for the Whole Family

We had a wonderful stay! The location was amazing—right on the beach and in a quiet, peaceful area. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. My husband and I spent each morning on the porch watching a pod of dolphins feed just off the shore. The house was bright, clean, and beautifully decorated. We loved the hot tub, and the outdoor shower was super convenient for rinsing off after the beach. A laid-back, family-friendly spot we can’t wait to visit again!

House was lovely

House was lovely but a few things need addressing. Door was unlocked when we arrived. Hot tub cover was off. Giant booger on wall by kitchen table/back door. Dishes in cabinet were wet when we arrived. Dishwasher didn’t dry dishes or clean very well so we hand washed and left them on counter to dry when leaving. Couldn’t find any linens except a comforter (that didn’t smell clean) for the sofa bed.

Great getaway

House is great, clean, everything worked. Location is great if you want to be left alone. Not a lot to do in the area. Beach is not well kept. Construction is ongoing at Rollover Pass.. so there is some noise and you can't access the beach back to the west. But this won’t last forever. We enjoyed the house and would stay here again…

Terrific Teal Beach house

Me and my dog had a quiet and peaceful few days at this very cute beach house with amazing ocean views. Grocery store not far down the road and Tia Juanita Fish Camp and Stingaree restaurant also a short drive away. We loved it!!!
