Great Family Vacation!

This property was perfect, very clean and well arranged. The location was excellent, steps from the beach and pier and restaurants. Because the weather was red hot, sometimes over 100 degrees the private pool was a blessing, we practically lived in it. Our whole family enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to come back one day. Our host, Jennifer, was very easy to work with and responded to all our concerns. We highly recommend this property.

Great place for families!

This property is in a perfect location, super close to beach, the area was not crowded, but still a close drive to many places if you choose to adventure out as well. All of our adult children decided within the first day that they would like to return here for our future family vacations.

What a GREAT Vacation

This was the perfect place for us! With Three sets of parents with 19-21 year old boys we were able to give them their own space and leave plenty for ourselves! The pool was perfect for morning or end of the day relaxation before or after the beach!

Has all you can ask for

Repeat customer and find this place has it all. The house accommodates all of us with ease and comfort. The location is second to none with all that is offered in the area. Just blocks from the beach, walk to stores and restaurants, as well as a municipal park blocks away with playground, pickleball and tennis courts. The real bonus is the heated inground pool.
