Fantastic Stay

My family and I had a great time at this VRBO. It was exactly as described and even better. Everything you need for the beach was available and the kitchen was so very well equipped we ate all of our meals at home. The home was in close proximity to shopping and easy access to the beach. I recommend booking this home and would stay here in the future.

Fantastic Beach House!

We had such an amazing stay. This house is perfect in every way. We didn't want for anything! It was clean, well-stocked and the decor is exactly what you want for a beach house. We really didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back!

Beach vacation

This is a wonderful property - a view of the ocean from the deck, very nicely decorated but still very comfortable. Every amenity provided - they thought of everything. It was so wonderful to have the whole family to eat around the table or go out to dinner and come back and relax. We went to the beach every day and came back to rinse off in the outdoor shower. Christina was very responsive to all of our questions and provided all the details we needed for check in and check out. We really appreciate this property- thank you very much!!!

Perfect place and experience

Had a fantastic stay and experience in this house. Very impressed on how much bigger it feels inside and outside. The jacuzzi was awesome with the weather we had and super clean. Quiet neighborhood with no cars coming out constantly. The location was perfect not only great short distance from the ocean but the deck was the best part. Breathing the ocean air and looking at it in the morning with your coffee to red wine nights was the best part on that deck. Memories I will cherish with my family and definitely would recommend to everyone. Looking forward to coming back!
