Great House
This was a perfect cozy little beach house with all the amenities you need and then some for outside. The yard is huge for a beach house and beds were all comfortable which is not always the case in vacation rentals. Communication was easy and great! Would definitely stay here again and recommend!

Comfy stay during the holidays
Daniel was very communicative making it easy to check in and check out. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a couple days and there was just enough space from grandparents to grandkiddos. Loved all the games and toys so we didn’t have to bring them. Easy access to the beach was great too. Thanks again!

Veterans getaway
Awesome last minute stay! Buddy of mine came to visit for Veterans Day and this was a last second booking, and it was everything and more. Even though the rain was non-stop(can’t do anything about that) we stayed dry and comfortable the whole time under the massive patio spaces. Access to the smoker was the perfect centerpiece for catching up and trading stories. Can not recommend this spot enough!

Our Favorite Place to Stay
We always love staying at this property. It’s 3 blocks from the ocean, very roomy, clean, and the property has a lot of things to enjoy. We had fun playing domino’s outside enjoying the cool weather and hearing the ocean breeze. Daniel is always super quick to respond to any questions we have. Staying at this property is like a home away from home! Highly recommend this location!!!

BEWARE: Owner will cancel on you at the last minute.
We were scheduled to stay at the property and check-in was at 4. All of the passcodes and door code had been received the day before. The day of, I had this feeling that I needed to check VRBO messages so at 6:30 AM, I logged in to VRBO and looked at messages. At 2 AM, the owner cancelled my reservation and said VRBO had double booked. I talked to VRBO and VRBO said the owner screwed up. VRBO did try to put me in a Super 8 for the 1st night and found me a tent on the beach (at my expense) for the other. Owner never offered to do anything. I told them thanks but no thanks. They can keep their money and I'll get my $100 in my review. If you do rent this beach house, reach out to the owner immediately after booking and make sure there are no other reservations. This probably doesn't guarantee that you'll get it but it should increase your odds.
