This was the BEST rental we have had in years! Clean, great location, and we were even allowed to check in a whole day early! I have recommended this rental to family, friends and coworkers. Would definitely stay here again in the future!
The house was a perfect location. There was a boardwalk to the beach and a quick drive to all restaurants. The house was clean with a well stocked kitchen. A great place for families. Golf cart to use when staying at this house,…what a wonderful bonus!
We had a great time staying here, the house was really clean, spacious, and well equipped. It was really nice being able to walk to the beach so the location was excellent, the street is quiet at night. I would highly recommend staying here, the owner was also very kind and responsive.
We had a great stay here. The house is clean, well-stocked and only a short walk to the beach. Plus, the owner is very responsive. I would stay here again.
The property was steps from the beach. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We had a wonderful relaxing stay and we hope we can come back to this house again!!
We had a great time on our family vacay! The convenience of this house is 10/10! Brian was super responsive and we had plenty of everything. Highly recommend!
Kitchen had everything needed for our traditional holiday meal prep! From standing rib roast, pecan pie and twice baked potatoes. Adult children had enough space and our dog was in heaven on the beach.
I had an amazing experience staying here! The house was immaculately clean and just a short 100-yard stroll to the beach, making it incredibly convenient. The host was very communicative, easy to reach, and extremely accommodating. The pictures online don’t do the place justice; the actual house was much nicer than the photos suggest. Overall, it was a great week, and I highly recommend this place!
My family and I had such a wonderful stay at this property for my 30th birthday. The owner was so sweet and was responsive to all of our questions. Doggie station was only a few steps away so taking my dog out to potty was really easy. Getting to the beach was SUCH an easy lil walk across the boardwalk. It had all the comforts of home and the grocery store is only a quick drive down the street to stock up on whatever you need.
I truly hope we can return to this property again because it was such a wonderful trip!
Beach is walkable but if you have heavier items might be worth it to have someone drop them off at the beach as the path is narrow.
House was recently remodeled and is beautiful. Having the outdoor patio area was so nice! We found the rooms spacious and bathrooms convenient for all.
Host was slvery accommodating and gave us some great tips on where to spot dolphins and were to eat, all were great!!!
Of note, if I'm not mistaken the listing says beach towels are provided but they are, so you can leave those at home.
Over great place and we will stay again.
Staying in this fantastic house keeps getting better with recent updates making it feel more open and airy!
I have stayed here several times when my family comes in from Denver. Adults and kids alike love the comfort and the location that allows us to walk to the beach. There are even beach toys and boogie boards for all to use!
I will from now on schedule our beach trips according the availability of this place. The owner was super responsive to any questions that arose during our stay and had great recommendations for fun things to entertain all of us.
Thank you Brian!!
The location was perfect- walking distance to a boardwalk to the beach, and a quick drive to shops and restaurants. We loved having the golf cart. We had a few issues when we arrived (beach towels were missing and the toilet needed a new chain), but the owner was SO responsive and had housekeeping at our door in 30 minutes with towels and a new chain for the toilet.
We really enjoyed the property. It had lots of room, nice amenities and a great location. The golf cart was especially nice to have available. Our host communicated very well with us. I had a couple of questions and he responded immediately. I highly recommend this property.
Lovely updated house. We really enjoyed the space and the proximity to the beach. The golf cart was a great amenity! I would highly recommend this property. The host was very helpful leading up to the trip answering questions.
It was a pleasure from the moment we stepped foot into this adorable home! So clean, fully equipped, and tons of sleeping spaces. The golf cart and boardwalk made it so convenient to get to the beach in no time! The owner was incredibly nice and communicative! We will be back to this property next summer for sure!
