BOOK THIS HOUSE! You will not be disappointed. The owner Sarah is amazing and super communicative. The home itself is impeccably clean and well taken care of. They make it so easy to feel at home and enjoy the beach. I was overwhelmed with how much beach stuff they had for us to use. Also, this is the first (of many vacations) where the lift actually works! The guys had a blast fishing and catching everything from fish, crabs, and stingrays. The beach access is close by and easy to get to. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone, they will definitely be seeing our family again!

This place is a gem and so are its owners!

We had amazing time at this house and can’t wait to return! The owner has done a phenomenal job making this home as functional as possible for a great stay at the beach! She was super helpful with any questions we had during our stay. I will 100% recommend this house to our friends and family. Everything in the home is very clean, well taken care of, and fully functional. This is the first beach house I have stayed in that the lift is actually working! There were plenty of dishes, towels etc for our family. Do not miss out on this house! Also, the amount of beach chairs and beach related items was a huge bonus, the kids even kayaked in the lagoon. So grateful we chose to stay here and we will be back.

We can’t say enough great things about this home! It was perfect for our family of 12 and accommodated everyone comfortably.The home is beautifully decorated, and we loved the large open kitchen and living area where everyone could gather. The backyard view of the lagoon is gorgeous, and we had so much fun fishing from the pier, kayaking, and using the paddle boards that we didn’t even go to the beach one day! When we did, the beach access was directly across the street, making it incredibly convenient.The house was stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs, beach towels, floats, fishing poles, and so much more. Sarah was an amazing host—kind, responsive, and quick to answer any questions we had.We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back next year!
