Quiet and Convenient Stay by the Beach
Our family had a great weekend at the Owls Nest. The location is perfect. If you bring groceries, there is no need for a car. The beach is a short walk away (even with toddlers) and the restaurant at the end of the street is a great place to bring the kids too. The house is clean and spacious and had everything we needed, from beach chairs to Roku.

Beach House with All We Could Want
The house is bright, open, comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed reading on the front porch and dining on the screened porch. The kitchen is well-equipped. The beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc., made those we brought unnecessary. The wagon made the half-block walk to the beach, that much easier. The shed had ample room for bike storage and the nearby bike routes were well-marked and lovely. All-in-all, we were able to settle in quickly and vacation seamlessly.

Perfect family destination
My family loves this property for our summer vacation. The home's open floor plan lends itself to just hanging out, cooking meals, watching TV, and catching up on the U-shaped window seat. The guest cottage is a great place to go for those who need a little seclusion. There's plenty of beach toys and gear for all ages, and a nice fire pit to gather around in the evening. The host is very responsive and helpful with any issues that come up during your stay. Can't wait to come back again!!

Wonderful stay!
We had a great 2.5 day stay at Owls Nest with family. The house was clean, fully stocked with everything you could need or want and in a prime location, just a block to the beach. The beach was beautiful. Soft sand, clear blue water and private. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return next year!

Lovely Accommodation and Location
We are two seniors who shared the house and cottage with our adult children and their families. The cottage was perfect for my daughter and her husband who have a one-year-old. The main house is well accessorized, bright, and airy. We loved sitting out by the campfire in the evening and walking the neighborhood after dark under the stars . The beach is beautiful - fine sand but a little challenging to climb back up for us older folks. We found a more gradual public access a little further down the road. All in all, it was a great success as a family gathering.

Beach Heaven
The Owls Nest is great on many levels. The house is very well stocked with supplies. Had every kitchen utensil we needed and lots of beach toys and furniture. A very short walk to the beach made it all the more enjoyable - you did not fret if you had to walk back to the house for anything. Martin is a great host and we hope to stay at the Owls Nest again someday.
