Great time with a great view

This is our second time staying here, overall the house is very nice and in decent condition. However, we did notice some unclean dishes and some animal spots on the rugs and floor mats. We will definitely stay here again for the easy beach access and pet friendliness.

Wonderful stay!

This house is exactly as pictured. Absolutely gorgeous and comfortable to stay in for our family of 7. The location was great and low key. We enjoyed being right on the beach. Communication with the property owner was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to booking another trip soon!

It was perfect for us. We did a lot of birding. We enjoyed cooking dinner each night. Excellent kitchen. The view from the living room is the big selling point. Access to the beach is so easy.

Beach Perfection

I hesitate to even talk about this great house as I don’t want it to become too popular that we can’t book another stay!! I didn’t want to come home! The proximity & cleanliness were fantastic!! Spacious family room, huge beds & kitchen with all of the must-haves all made for the perfect week!! We made so many great memories with our family… already looking forward to booking again for next July!!

Fabulous stay at Blue Searenity

Bright, new, clean and right on the beach. This is a wonderful beachhouse with a lovely short path through the dunes and in a quiet part away from traffic. The deck is large with solid chairs to sit and watch the moon rise. (We did wish for a table for morning coffee and meals.) The kitchen is well equipped and bedroom linens are lovely. We set up a pop up on the beach and appreciated the very short walk back for refills. Our puppies loved it too. We will be back.
