Amazing Beach House

We absolutely loved our stay at this house. It was beautiful and very clean and had everything you could possibly need for a stay at the beach. Lori was great and very responsive for any questions I had before and during our trip. It's a very quick and easy walk to the beach. We would definitely love to stay again and I would highly recommend this house!

Great, Quiet Location and Beach Access

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was just great. We were a couple of minutes away from direct beach access via a short walk. The beach was beautiful and peaceful. The house was clean and organized. All amenities were terrific, including beach chairs, beach carts, boogie boards, bikes, a ping pong table, and an air hockey table. We would definitely stay here again! .

Fabulous house and location

We were so pleased with our stay here. The owners were very helpful and communicative. We had all the things we needed from toilet paper, to paper towels, to hand soaps and such. We enjoyed the ping pong and air hockey tables. The kitchen was well stocked. The location was super close to the beach also.

Great spot across the street from the beach

Very well maintained house with all the amenities you can need. Game room had everything set up nicely and everything properly done. For our family we could have used an extra bathroom upstairs and a connection between floors, but over all very happy stay. Stones throw from the beach and the kids had a blast!

Sign us up for next year!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay, the property and our host. The house was in great condition and had everything we needed to start our vacation as soon as we walked in the door. The property was within a very short walk to the beach access, our favorite pizza shop, farmer’s market and pickleball courts. If all goes as planned…we will definitely be back next year!

Best Beach house!

This house was awesome and made our stay at the beach great. Our kids loved the basement playroom with the ping pong and ice hockey tables. The house was clean and pristine and had everything we needed. There was a TV in every room which our kids loves as well. The host Lori was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly each time I messaged her with questions. Would 100% recommend this place and we plan to stay again next year!

Everything was great

The property is as advertised. Very clean, comfortable, extraordinarilly well stocked (the little extras, such as coffee k-cups, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry and dishwasher detergent, etc. -- in quantities more than just "starters" -- are appreciated. And bikes and beach gear are a real bonus). The location is fantastic. We enjoyed two free events at Middleton Park, a 1-minute walk away. Pepperoni Grill, with the best pizza and calzones on the island, is a 30-second walk away. The beach is a one-minute walk, and the grocery, restaurants and shops are minutes away. Lori, the host, is always accessible and genuinely wants her guests to have a great vacation. This is surely among the best places to stay on the island.

Location can’t be beat!!

An amazing value! Walk to the beach and you’re right next to all the action, but the beach isn’t crowded!! This was our second stay! We brought our dog this time and she loved it. It was great to have the front porch which is gated, so she could hang with us while we have morning coffee. I love how big the kitchen is and the variety of beds arrangements for kids of various ages. This house is so kid friendly! My kids loved the addition of air hockey! They have a lot of baby/kid equipment too. This would be very manageable for families with littles. Be sure to check out the point—maybe rent kayaks! We love the Lazy turtle restaurant and visit almost every ice cream place. In Southport we love the sightseeing cruise (dolphins!), Smokehoise BBQ, Christmas House and ghost tour. Lori is super responsive. Would absolutely rent again!

Upstairs (3rooms) is very nice, downstairs (1 room) not so ideal. Really more like two separate places. Kitchen is very well equipped, with almost every convenience present. Location is great. Owners were very responsive and communicative when necessary. Only wish was that the very spacious deck had an awning or sunshade so we could have used it more.
