First, the location is amazing! The weather was exceptional for January and we enjoyed many walks on the beach. There is nothing like going to sleep listening to the ocean. The host reached out to me a few days prior with details of the house and stay and was very responsive. The property is very comfortable, with plenty of kitchen and bedroom space. Everything was clean and updated.

Very responsive host, beautiful views, well-equipped kitchen. Perfect floor plan for 7 adults. Lots of games. Central living area. It was wonderful to just go outside and walk along the beach. Rainy but with enough sunny time to get outside. Best place to start 2026! We would definitely return. Many thanks to the hosts!

The house was very nice. Direct access to the beach. The duckies were a fun addition. The only thing I found not great was the ice in the freezer. Needed to be defrosted. I would definitely return.

It was a nice beach house. I rent beach houses once a year I pick good locations like this. The beachy decor gives a great atmosphere. The set up in the kitchen was very good quality. We loved it got fabulous pictures of my son and his 11 month old daughter. I won’t see them for a year. So it was perfect family time.
My Son and Granddaughter. I chose this place to get private quiet family time as I won’t see them for a year.
Last year we sent my brother who died out to sea. We did a memorial.

The house was in a great location. The biggest issue we had was the steps. We had a 2 year old and it was a challenge. They are sooo steep, and were made of a hard tile with no anti slip features. The step width seemed short and there were NO baby gates so safety a concern for adults and kids. It was four levels so the steps were inescapable. Bring a baby gate or two. Not providing towels and having personal family pictures on display was unusual too. Best for age 5 and up

Location, location, location!

This ocean front property is a dream. I nearly cried when I walked inside because the view was beyond words. It was super convenient for my kids& I having the beach so close. My son has sensory issues and sometimes we need to leave places if he gets overstimulated. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else after staying in this little piece of paradise!

Beautiful beachfront getaway

Amazing location with a beautiful view! Furniture was comfortable and home was well stocked with most of the daily necessities. Just make sure you bring your own bath and beach towels and wash cloths as they are not provided. Communication with the owner was great! She responded to any of my questions rapidly. We absolutely loved staying here!

Another great stay!

This is our second stay at Beth Ann's place. As always, it's clean and well stocked. The location cannot be beat - even with a rainy weekend it cleared up enough for us to sit on the deck, soak in the sun and enjoy the view. We all love it, love that it can easily accommodate 5 women, love the proximity to shopping and restaurants. We'll be back!

Wonderful rainy weekend

This beautiful house allowed us to come together in a large, lovely great room for meals and relaxation, and retreat into separate levels for sleep. The beach right out back was gorgeous - we watched surfers and surf fishers, played in the water, and sheltered on the deck in the rain. A very welcoming home!
