Great location, big house
This is a very nice, well-equipped, big house. We had a family group with adults and kids, and having the downstairs apartment was a great way to separate our crazy kids from everyone else! We loved the path down to the beach, full of flowers and butterflies. It's super easy to get to Short Sands, just be sure to claim your spot early.

Large house
It's a nice big house with a great kitchen and large dining room. We enjoyed seeing the ocean view from the back deck and windows on that side of the house. We appreciated all the extras that were provided too. Our vacation got off to a bad start with the mouse problem in the downstairs and the tiny ants in the bathroom with the W & D. I wasn't able to get through to Seaside Rentals, kept getting disconnected. Then waiting for the Pest Co. only ti find they weren't coming until the next day. No one advised me what was going to be done! No one wants to be in an area hearing an animal scratching in a wall or ceiling. They were running around in the yard as well! We live in the country in an old house but we take care of our pest problems.
