Excellent week at Crane’s Nest! This rental was perfect for our family of four and small dog. Very clean, high end furniture and decor, stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the porch and the quick 5 min walk to the beach at 65th street. The grill also works great! Will stay here again!

LOVED! This house has everything you could possibly want for a beach vacation! The golf cart was a huge bonus to have for the week! Parked our car the day we arrived and only needed it once. The house is so spacious and fully stocked from games to Tupperware to cooking supplies! We will definitely be staying again!
