Our little Christmas Retreat Coastal Style

Cute little place with a fun backyard below! I love how warm and welcoming the hosts were and how quickly they responded when we needed something. The beds had a cooling gel mattress pad that lulled me to sleep. We spent Christmas in this home and it was already decorated with a tree, lights, and stockings making it extra special for us. Definitely want to stay here again.

Cozy Beach Cottage Feel

It was a rainy cold weekend, but this place made us feel warm and at home. It was a cute cottage in a quiet area. Would definitely love to come back any time. Rooms were both a good size, with open concept kitchen living room area. Both beds were super comfortable, and we loved the cute fire place in the entertainment center.

Great place to hang out!

The owners were so sweet with their welcome to us. It was Mardi Gras so they had beads :) It is a super cute space with comfortable beds. They even had coffee for us- thankfully! We would definitely stay again if we are in the area. We used Uber without an issue.

Amazing!

This adorable little coastal home was the perfect getaway for myself, my husband, 3 kids and my mom. It was well equipped with everything we needed to cook in a few times during our stay, play yard games, and unwind! And the owners left a sweet gift for us which we thought was an extra special touch! Will definitely be booking with them again!

Weird Sister Reunion

We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the patio area especially and spent a lot of time out there. The host was great and we were able to reach them when we had trouble with anything. The house was super cute, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was a great space. We were a little further from the beach than we thought it was, but it was a super quick drive, so noworries. If you have trouble with stairs it does require a flight to get in and out of the house. Again, great place, great host, highly recommende!

Great little beach house in town

My daughter and I and the doggies had a great stay at this beach house. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed several movies on the huge big screen TV. The two patios, both upstairs and down were very comfortable. The dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and the morning walks in the neighborhood were pleasant. The location was close to the Strand and restaurants and was not far from the beach. Veronica, the host, was very responsive from the moment I made the reservation until we left. I think you’ll enjoy this little in town jewel.

Awesome Place!!!

The house was way better than we expected, when you look online it’s not always what you see. This was!!! Some of the other reviews said there was not enough hot water we had no problems with this at all, there were 3 of us all took showers right after each other.The only thing I would add was I was excited about it having a garage, many SUV’s are not going to fit. Small cars yes!
