We loved everything about it! The house/property was amazing and everything provided (from fully functional kitchen, to beach toys to linens!). This is our 2nd time staying in this community and all the residents are always welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed rescuing Horseshoe Crabs every morning. The only things was we thought one room had a queen bed. Maybe some updates to descriptions and photos to to VRBO page :-) Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, and any feedback for us is welcome!

Book Club get Away

Our 5 members truly enjoyed the privacy of the beach and the large picture windows to gaze on the beach when it was too hot to be in the sun. The lower level was perfect for one of our members and for coming in and out from the beach. We appreciated two showers and toilets. The horseshoe crabs were a bit much at first, but we just got accustomed to them. We had a very relaxing, enjoyable week.

Great beachfront getaway

What a lovely house with beautiful panoramic windows and views of the bay and beach! The house was well-maintained and well-equipped for guests, with plenty of space for this family of four dog. (We loved the doggie designated towels.) The hosts were responsive and accommodating; their TLC for the house is apparent and appreciated. If given the opportunity, we will definitely come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach. The large sunroom looking out over the beach was a perfect place to sit and enjoy watching the waves and shore birds. The easy access to the beach made walks on the beach appealing. We would definitely return for another beach getaway!

Lovely, quiet getaway

We loved the remoteness and solitude of this place. The house was very clean (no dust or musty/moldy smells), the kitchen was nicely appointed, and it was nice to have linens and towels provided! We felt like we had the entire to beach to ourselves, though the crabs definitely ruled the roost! The owners provided all the necessary info via messages and a binder, and were very pleasant in communications. Watching the sunrise each morning from the enclosed porch was a highlight. You couldn't get any closer to the ocean! There is a nice selection of books, DVDS, games and puzzles (our puzzle was missing 3 pieces, bummer). The beds were comfortable, the living room futon was not. The bathroom is quite small and doesn't afford much privacy. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would book this house again.

We really enjoyed the sunrises and water views with our coffee each morning. Easy access to beach, bicely furnished kitchen. The only complaint was the hardness of the mattresses.

Private beach

My wife and I and our three girls stayed here for a week and it was great! Everything was clean, the house was cool when we arrived and the air worked great. So fun being right on the beach. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards and used them almost everyday. The girls had a blast looking for hermit crabs during low tide. We spent hours and hours and hours on the beach, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Most days, on the beach you’d have to walk over 100 yards to get to the next person. A lot of the time it seemed you had the beach all to yourself.

Had a great stay here! Clean plus the kitchen was well stocked for all our cooking. Loved that we were so close to the beach and the shower downstairs was very convenient. A few minor notes: if you have small kids who only take baths, you will want to take an inflatable pool to bathe your kids since there are only 2 showers. Also, for large groups like ours, fyi there is only one bathroom upstairs (all bedrooms are upstairs) and the other bathroom is downstairs. Also, like many people have commented, there are lots of (mostly dead) horseshoe crabs on the beach (at least when we went) and it wasn’t an issue for us, but best to google if you’re unsure…

The house was very clean and nicely appointed. Bathrooms were interesting. Upstairs was very small but also very cute. Downstairs didn't afford any privacy given the 3 stalls. We probably won't do this area again given the huge number of horse crabs!
