This house is a great place to stay. Spacious and clean. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The kitchen was our gathering place. Walking distance to Seabright beach and the Boardwalk. Will stay here again.

Beautiful Home!
This home is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need! I loved being able to sit in the backyard as well as the front yard just to relax. The jacuzzi was an added bonus. The downstairs game room was perfect for my daughter and her friends. Walking distance to the beach and a short drive to the boardwalk. We will definitely be back!
Our host Kristen was amazing and made it so easy to check in and check out. She even checked in on us to see if there was anything we needed.

Ocean Getaway
Beautiful house located a few blocks from the ocean. Ample room for my husband and I and our 3 adult children. Everything was perfect, except a few of the balconeys were dirty (leaf and other) , but no worries, we went on the Master balconey instead. I would stay there again.
