Everything in this place was great! Really enjoyed our stay here
The home was beautiful, wonderfully appointed and spotlessly clean. New appliances were a joy to use. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated all the extras supplied. The grill outside, hot tub and fire pit are amazing. We appreciated the large amount of privacy at this beach home. We wished we could have stayed longer.
It was only my husband and me but any family too would love this home. You can’t miss with the location either. Easy to get everywhere. All of our stay was made enjoyable by the hospitality, thoughtfulness, and great communication from the hosts. Truly warm and kind people. 5 stars !!

This vacation rental is literally all you need, hottub, walk to the beach, plenty of towels, washer and dryer. It is a beautiful, well kept home. There is a nice, short walking trail very close by that we happened to find as well. We saw dolphins everyday from the shore! I will definitely come back and stay here.

Perfection for a Beach Vacation
This is a wonderful beach vacation home. A very short walk to the beach. We saw dolphins from the beach walking in the early morning. From the outside shower and hot tub to the very comfortable beds, this house is perfectly outfitted for what is needed for vacation. Lots of space, comfortable beds, and all we needed for making meals in the kitchen. Walkable to groceries and restaurants. A lovely quiet neighborhood and beautiful yard. The host’s responses were prompt and helpful. And we played PacMan! Just a lovely, relaxing place to call home for vacation. We will be back!!
