Great location, great experience overall

This place is exactly as described. Great location in heart of town walking distance from shops and beach. Owner was excellent at communicating, making check in and check out a breeze. We went with two kids as a family and it was the perfect size. The outdoor shower, grill and patio with table made it easier to cook and hang out after beach time. Would rent from again.

Nice quiet town while we were here. Quick walk to beach which we did often. Nice property. Had a deck to relax and hang out back and out front. No complaints here for family of four with dog. Would recommend buy groceries before getting here. Food prices were high at store. Few places to local places to eat.

Family trip

We try to visit the shore in September due to the lack of crowds in the off season. Unfortunately we had some rough weather this time but the house had more than enough room and accommodations to keep us entertained when we were inside. Everything was clean, tidy, and true to what the listing offered. We enjoyed the really short walk down to the beach as well as how close it was to some of our favorite food spots. Andrew was a great host who was easy to communicate with and we would be happy to stay here again.

Perfect beach getaway!

Loved our stay at Island Time, perfect cozy, comfortable space for our family of three and dog! Close walk to beach with chairs and umbrella for daily and moonlight walk beachtime, and everything needed to make meals at home! Comfy furniture and inviting beach theme colors and accent decor. Offstreet parking. Beach passes. Dog friendly! Andrew was excellent communicator beforehand and at arrival when we needed help accessing the house. Nice neighborhood and friendly community near island groceries and restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again!

Family fun in the Sun

We stayed at Island Time for 6 days. The place was immaculate and exactly as pictured. Host was very quick to respond to one inquiry I had. Check in was easy as can be. Beach is a quick 1 block walk & the outside shower makes cleaning sand away so easy. Can’t say enough good things about this home. We can’t wait to come here again.

Fantastic location - steps to beach & good food. Perfect for a relaxing week, which was the goal. Host was receptive to all communications. This house was the perfect size for 3 adults and a dog. Having the outdoor grill, nice sized outdoor shower, laundry in unit, split ACs in each room, and lovely front and back porches were great. There are some minor comfort things I would suggest the host to address moving fwd but otherwise we absolutely want to stay here again next summer!
