"We enjoyed our stay in this house end of August! The backyard was amazing to spend time in the morning having a cup of coffee and enjoying a very quiet morning time hiding in the deep chair that even pool people don't notice you. The pool is awesome, our granddaughter spent hours in it. The house itself is very spacious and has everything one needs. Thank you to the owners! We loved the place and will recommend it to our friends and come back ourselves."

"The house is super cute and bright. Amazing to sit out on the deck and watch the tide come in and out. Great for a family with small kids, but limited outdoor space./no grass. 10 or so minute walk down to the main beach, but the parking pass was included was so helpful. Host was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend."
