We booked this home as a last minute get away, and it was lovely. The house was beautiful, nearby to the beach, quiet, & clean. We had plenty of space and loved the large yard & deck. The garage was stocked with kites, chairs, & other fun things that made our trip even more magical. It was a bit pricey for only 2 nights, but otherwise - highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! It was honestly one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever experienced, which made such a great first impression. The home itself is very spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed—cooking was so easy.The host was fantastic with communication from start to finish, which made the whole process stress-free. Check-out was also refreshingly simple—no long list of chores, which we really appreciated.The view was truly the highlight. Being able to see the ocean right from the windows was incredible, and having coffee on the deck while watching ships go by was one of our favorite parts of the trip.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!
