Perfect last minute trip

This was a last minute trip for us and it exceeded our expectations! What a lucky find for us! We loved watching the sunset by the lighthouse and playing games out on porch! It was only the 2 of us so there was plenty of room for us to spread out. Would definitely return and hope to do so in the near future!

Restoration

The property was super clean, bright and beautiful. This home has open windows which allows for the sun to come in to the home as well as unlimited views of the ocean. This was the best choice made to come and relax and recover from grieving over the death of a loved one.

This was our second year staying at this property and it has everything our family needed and then some! Excellent location and high quality amenities. It feels surreal to be that close to the lighthouse! We are already planning to book again for next year.

Perfect family vacation

I have stayed in many beach houses including this one before the renovation and all I can say is that this house may be perfect. The location, the house, the decor, all of it was amazing and my family can't wait to go back. If I this were my own beach house I don't think I would change a thing.
