Spacious & Convenient

This has been one of our favorite beach house stays. We had 5 adults, 2 kids, and a baby during our stay, and there was plenty of room and more. Not to mention having the convenient items to use for the baby so we didn’t have to pack as much. Easy trip to the IGA or Walmart for groceries where we hardly had to pay to eat out during the week. And the 5 minute walk to the beach, along with the convenient wagon & beach chairs provided at the house, made trips easy! This rental company was very easy to work with too. Definitely will consider booking this again in the future.
