About this property

Cozy Beach Retreat – Steps from the Sand

  • Cozy Beach Retreat – Steps from the Sand

    This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach home is just one house away from public beach access—so close you’ll have your toes in the sand in seconds! Enter on the top floor into a bright, open living space featuring a comfortable living room, dining area, and large galley kitchen. Sliding glass doors lead to a back deck where you can enjoy expansive ocean and dune views while sipping your favorite drink.
    The split floor plan places the kitchen and living areas on one side and bedrooms on the other. The master bedroom offers a king-size bed, while the second bedroom includes a queen bed. These two bedrooms share a full bathroom accessible from either room, and the ocean-side bedroom also has deck access. A queen sleeper sofa in the living room provides extra sleeping space.
    Downstairs, accessible only by exterior stairs, you’ll find a private oasis complete with a queen bedroom separated by a barn door, a full bath with walk-in shower, dining area, and full kitchen. The living space includes another queen sleeper sofa, making this level perfect for guests who prefer fewer stairs. A shower chair is provided for added convenience.

    Enjoy beautiful Atlantic views from much of the back deck, and take the sandy trail for quick beach access. The fenced yard is ideal for pets, and you’ll be within walking distance of the famous Trailer Bar.

    Additional Details:
    Sleeps up to 10 guests
    2 dogs allowed (under 50 lbs each) with paid pet fee
    No smoking or vaping
    Linens provided during peak season only

    Book your stay today and experience the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm!

Heavens Eye

This house was perfect for what we needed. Great location to the beach. Just a short walk. Great fenced area for the dogs! I wasn’t too keen on the cameras watching us on the back porch. Nothing wrong with having cameras, but I feel they should be turned off when people are renting. Kind of felt like an invasion of privacy. But overall, the house and stay was great!

Wonderful location

Location was perfect, close to everything. The upstairs and downstairs having separate access was really nice for having friends and would be perfect for anyone with mobility challenges. Lisa was super responsive, really enjoyed our stay.

Great house at a great beach

This is a wonderful vacation rental. We enjoyed ourselves at the beach, which was very close and very nice. It is a great place for families with dogs. Great fenced in backyard. That is very secure even for smaller dogs. Great view from the upper deck. We enjoyed a couple of meals looking out at the ocean. We had a couple questions and they got back to us very quickly.

Be sure to ask where the linens are, as it is not listed anywhere where they are located. They are in a grey tote which is dropped off ahead of your stay. This was a bit difficult to navigate, and was resolved after calling the host. The top half of the home was overall in good condition with a great view from the back deck. The lower half indoors our kids would not even stay based on an awful moldy / mildew smell that was quite apparent. Our son (10) and daughter (15) chose to instead share a room / bed together upstairs, to give a little context as to how bad the smell was. Additionally the bed downstairs is deeply caved in in the middle and wasn't really sleep able. Downstairs, the walls were also very dirty around the backdoors, knobs and such, which tells me they don't clean the property very well, and likely many other areas. All in all we made the best of our stay amongst the inconveniences. Being that the downstairs was not in the greatest condition, or smell, we don't feel it was worth the money being paid. There is a great view from the back door / back deck area with easy access to the beach. It is one of the few rentals I have been to that also have sand spikes, and a spare fishing pole available. I brought my own, but it's always nice to see when they have them. We will definitely be back to vacation in the area, but not sure we would rent this home again.

Mehhh

If you or anyone in your group is allergic to dogs, absolutely do not stay here. Dog hair everywhere!! My little boy was covered in hives our whole stay. Television in downstairs living quit working the first day and was never repaired or replaced. Even after contacting the rental office through Vrbo and over the phone. The location was probably the only reason to stay there.
