"Parking was great! Staff were friendly from start to finish! AC wasn’t initially on but that is to be expected and worked perfectly! Only knock I had is no coffee maker, but the fridge and microwave more than made up for it!"

"A/C was good. Nice and cool. Beach is about 300yards away. You can see the water in a couple spots between the beach houses, and that’s about it. Beach is only a couple minutes away from motel. "

"Perfect house for the weekend, we had everything we needed! Great host and easy to communicate with! "

"Who ever designed this house deserves a some kind of prize! The property is absolutely gorgeous and the layout is beyond perfect. They quite literally thought of EVERYTHING! I have stayed at other beach houses but this one is definitely my favorite so far. We had kids, teens, and adults ranging from 4 yrs old to 75 years old and everyone was super impressed and cannot stop talking about how the property made the whole trip come together. The game room and hot tub kept everyone entertained for hours when we took a beach break."

"Host was great, easy access to the beach"

"Great family vacation spot."

"Wonderful property and incredibly kind hosts! We had a great time, and the location was fantastic!"

"This house was perfect for our little family of four! Our two toddler boys loved playing downstairs and we felt safe with it being all fenced in with plenty of room to play and roam. It was close to the beach and accommodated us perfectly! We enjoyed our stay! "

"We had a great stay overall, and the location is truly the highlight—right on the beach with a lot of privacy and very little nearby foot traffic. It was quiet, relaxing, and perfect for beachcombing. The balcony seating and outdoor shower were especially nice touches.The home itself is well-kept with newer appliances, a functional kitchen, and both a Keurig and standard coffee maker (with filters provided), which was appreciated. There were also thoughtful extras like toiletries available if needed.A couple things to be aware of: the linens and towels are washed with a strongly scented detergent (Gain/Febreze), which may be noticeable if you’re sensitive to fragrance.During our stay, the sliding glass door lock broke late Sunday evening. The host responded promptly Monday morning, and the repair was completed Tuesday morning.The beds may vary depending on preference—one was quite firm, while another was softer but on a very squeaky frame that made movement noticeable.Also worth noting that vehicles do occasionally drive along the beach in front of the home, though it wasn’t frequent.One logistical note: the VRBO directions feature led us to a location about 1.5 miles away, so it may be helpful to confirm the exact address with the host before arrival. The host was very responsive via text and helped us quickly get to the correct location.Overall, the location and setup made for a really enjoyable stay."
