"We had a wonderful stay overall and really enjoyed our vacation. The home was comfortable. We also wanted to mention that the dunes in front of the house made it difficult for elderly family members to navigate the walk to the beach; it was fine for younger guests, but our elderly parents had a hard time getting down to the beach. Thank you for sharing your property with us."

"We had a wonderful stay and this beach house was perfect for our small family and our dog. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a simple, relaxing beach vacation. The location was great, and we really enjoyed our time here. The only suggestions we have would be to add a grill and a few beach chairs, which would make the stay even more convenient. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again!"
