Second Time Around

Property is well-situated, nicely decorated, clean, comfortable, family-friendly, with lots of amenities and lovely porches. We stayed here last year and the family all wanted to come back to this house again this year. It was even better this time.

Family Vacation

Our stay at this property was wonderful! Everyone in the family truly enjoyed it. Even our little fury animals. The only hiccup we had was with the front doors leading to the deck; they didn't want to stay locked. Otherwise, the property is in a great location and was perfect for a large family!

Great Booking

Overall great experience. Owner was very communicative. Location is great. House was very clean. Has good access to beach, and the owner has a bunch of beach accessories available to use. Beds were clean and comfortable. My kids were happy too. Just one note - not a negative, just an FYI, there's a charcoal (not gas) grill on site.
