A wonderful respite!

We have stayed at this property once before and really enjoyed being right in front of the ocean, so wanted the same experience. It did not disappoint. There were 7 of us from the age range of 18 to 80s. All of us enjoyed our time here equally. The house is rustic and could use a little TLC, but you can’t beat the proximity to the ocean, the covered balcony where we sat for hours watching the waves and wildlife, beautiful beach that is not crowded, the convenience of staying together in the same space with family, a bed for everyone, and so many other conveniences. I really appreciated the brand new green pans for cooking/heating up our meals as we tend to cook some of our meals. All in all, it was such a relaxing time of rest after a very busy year!! This house provided our family with all that we needed to have wonderful vacation. I was even able to see the milky way:)

Night sky with milky way.. from balcony.

Nice to see my 18 year old just sitting and enjoying the ocean.

Oceanfront!

The cottage is cozy and has great beach access! We had a small problem with one shower and the property owner was very prompt to get it fixed. We had several pack n plays for babies and were able to fit them in the bedrooms too! There were no stairs inside the cottage so nice for traveling with Littles. We were farther on the west end of the blvd, which put us farther from the main places in town, but still just a short drive. We would definitely stay again!

Incredible host!!! Great communication and willingness to satisfy his guest. This is our second stay with Pete and hopefully there will be many more in the years to come. Great peaceful location and the feel of a cottage--don't feel as if you can't touch anything or it might break--very cozy! I just can't express how much we enjoyed staying with Pete. God bless!

Family beach vacation

We had a beach family vacation including 11 people with a combination of adults and teenagers (our 3rd year to OKI, 1st at this house). The layout of the place was good for us. The teenagers enjoyed the bunk room and everyone felt comfortable sleeping. We also had space to eat together and hangout in the kitchen/living room. The location of the property was great in a quiet neighborhood and the beach was not crowded. You can't beat oceanfront! We enjoyed the front porch in the mornings/evenings and the beach access. As others have said, the place needs some attention. When we arrived, the house was very dirty and hadn't been cleaned. We found trash behind beds when we were putting sheets on, and the floors had not been mopped. There was dust/sand on all surfaces. The house had not been deep cleaned in a long time and we found cockroaches. We spent the first 3 hours of our vacation cleaning, which is something I have never had to do at Vrbo. I was pretty upset because all of the reviews had depicted the property as "rustic" but clean, which is what I was expecting. The owner was responsive at first and explained the difficulty with getting reliable cleaning service, which is understandable. He also said he wanted to make it right, but in the end, he did not. Once we cleaned the place (2 of us for 3 hours solid) we had a great time with family and enjoyed the beach.

Beach Trip 2024

The home was very nice. It wasn't brand-new and that's what we expected, a home that has been lived in and comfortable, a place where, though being respectful, you didn't feel like you had to walk on pins and needles to mess anything up. It is right on the ocean. The morning was a favorite of mine when the sun was first coming up...it seems like my coffee tasted better then. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the grill was a favorite of mine since I used it practically every night. Looking forward to booking it again.

Relaxing

The beach house was very relaxing. It had an old rustic look, but the best thing is you can hear the waves crashing against the beach all night. Spent most our time sitting on the deck looking and listening to the water.
