Finally, a well-stacked vacation rental!

This property was very comfortable and had all the fixings of home--extra blankets, pillows, plenty of dishes, great coffee making supplies and more. The homey-ness was much appreciated after a long day of playing at the beach.

Stayed with family - including 3 year old and older small dog. Super convenient to Warren Dunes State Park (beaches and hiking trails) - there is a dog beach a the far end of the parking lots. Easy access to coffee shop (loved Infusco), restaurants (loved Susan's) and Sawyer Garden Home center - which has terrific fruit veggies and all your grocery and most beach needs. On a quiet low traffic cul-de-sac too. Very comfortable stay!

Great location, so easy to get everywhere. House and layout - super cute, comfortable and clean, hostess was great to work with. This is certainly not a big deal or a dealbreaker, but a little suggestion - big plant and stand behind the sofa could be moved out to provide more space. Would recommend for sure!! Thank you

House was recently remodeled and very clean. Street is very quiet overall. Traffic from nearby highway is audible but not visible. House would benefit from some beach accessories: umbrella, chairs, cooler, towels. Also some more towel hooks in the bathrooms would be helpful.

Comfortable and inviting

We had a great time here, and we appreciated and admired the attention to detail in design and furnishings--it was excellent. Carla has created a relaxing and inviting space! I also liked that the home book was provided to help enhance our stay, and was not a list of "do nots". Great location with easy access to all the local towns and Warren Dunes beach. Highly recommend.

Wedding Weekend

The property I feel is a little pricey for what we anticipated. I was told by the owner that the cleaning crew needed to clean the property and she would get back to me because we were seeing what time we could go to property to drop our belongings there. When we entered the facility there were spiders and cobwebs all over the corners of the rooms and in kitchen. The fireplace did not work. Nor were there any instructions for that. Back yard was messy. The lock box for the key was very difficult to get open. The stove in the kitchen was dirty. When we attempted to heat something in the oven smoke came out setting fire alarms off. The rooms were nice to sleep in. Not sure if air or heat worked. Instructions left were outdated probably when they first opened. area was okay but off the beaten path. some of the furniture was very dirty looked like resale stuff. They said washer and dryer was not to be used in manual but how do you clean and dry your towels. When they say Beach House it is not on the beach nor is the beach close. Other than that it was a fairly nice place but would not stay there again.

We had a perfect stay! Location was 10 minutes to DC Cook Nuclear plant. When you work 12 hour shifts, you really want to be close like this!We had no issues with the residence. Will definitely try to stay here next time we are in town.

Rehabbed house a short drive to Warren Dunes

The house is recently refurbished with quality finishes and very well equipped. The location is ok. A very short drive to Warren Dunes (small entry fee) that has a huge main beach and a great dog beach to the north where you can get some space if willing to walk., plus nice hiking. The back yard has woods that back onto I-94 freeway, which is heard but not seen. With an old concrete pad that lacks privacy, it just wasn’t a very inviting space to hang out.

Great vacation home

We loved the house, very close to the beach and the sand dunes. Carla and Andrew were very thoughtful, we got excellent recommendations for local bakeries and dining places. The house is very roomy, the beds super-comfortable and the kitchen well appointed even for serious cooking if so inclined. Very stylish throughout with a good selection of book, games and a comfy sofa for a quiet evening.

We had a wonderful time. The home had everything you need and then some. It was like staying at a friends house. We were there for my daughter’s wedding weekend and everyone that stopped by complimented the home. It was a great place to stay, quiet comfortable, and wonderful hosts.
