A Lot of Fun
I usually stay at a nearby timeshare that gets rented out by the owners, but chose this place instead. Very glad I did. Communication was excellent with the owner/management. Waking up and propping myself up in bed and watching the ocean through the front siding glass door was incredible. Plus it has a front porch that we ate several breakfasts and meals. I was happy we stayed here and hope to go back soon. The only issue is that the water heater went out on Sunday afternoon, but it was turned back on early Monday morning. Still a great place.

It was the perfect location to let the sound of the ocean drown out the stress. The establishment has a significant amount of its original architectural charm which is refreshing for this area.

The location is why you are there. The upstairs unit view is why you are there. So manage your expectations and enjoy the relatively lower rental cost. Ray communicates immediately and there were no surprises.

Worst stay !!!!!
Total the worst stay Ac unit not working! No internet! Ants all over the place the place is not kept up at all the host will not answer you at all doesn’t care he owns a grocery store around the corner. If something doesn’t work, he rather bring you beer or something. This place should be shut down he should not be renting it out. I am looking for some type of compensation. If you’re looking for a place to stay, do not stay here. Oh another one. The hot tub was not working since our stay called the owner he brought some guy out. They did not know what the hell he was doing kept coming and going this guy is truly a slum landlord, he keeps saying he wants to keep it California style also said that he should tear down pictures. Do not look like the place at all so if you’re looking for a nice place to stay, I wouldn’t stay here.

Great little house on the beach to stay in. Nice to have a great view and nobody to block you. The house floorplan is a little quirky, but very comfortable. Terrific. beds in both rooms. Ray is a terrific host. He actually drove us to a restaurant he thought we would love and we did. We plan on rebooking again.

Amazing Oceanfront property!
We had a wonderful time watching the waves from the upper balcony and always had a view! The hosts were exceptional and took great care of all of our needs. We loved it so much that we added 2 additional days to our trip and the hosts worked with us to do that. An amazing time, close to shopping, food and the water! Wish we could have stayed even longer! Thanks Jen and Ray for an incredible week!

Great spot! VERY helpful and friendly host/owner!
Really great spot! The rocks right outside the property overlooking the ocean are beautiful and an incredible place to watch the sunset- or watch a seal playing around. Its about a 10 min walk (with a 3 yr old) to the beach. It's not the sandiest beach, but its fun and perfect for kids to explore and play! The hot tub is great to warm up in after a cool day at the beach (we went in March). The owner, Ray, is one of the nicest property owners i've come across on VRBO. Truly helpful and fast to reply. If you forgot snacks- or need a bottle of wine- head up to Wisconsin Market- it is FULL of fun snacks/treats for all ages! Be sure to text Jenny (the host) if you need fresh towels or kids games- or really anything, she's very helpful! Would come here again.

Perfect
This location was perfect for enjoying the ocean every second. We ate our meals on the balcony and just soaked it all in. It rained during our stay but with the door open and the views from the large windows we didn’t miss out on ocean time. The unit is older but has been well kept. It is a short walk to shops, restaurants and a little store. I will definitely stay in this unit in the future. Ray and Jennifer were extremely helpful and quick to answer any questions.

My wife and I enjoyed being on the Strand and being able to walk to the pier or the local restaurants. Plenty of things to do and see or just kick back and watch the people or the waves. Ray is a great host and was available when needed. Thanks for the great week.

Met up with a girlfriend for a long overdue rendezvous. This was the perfect place. We sat outside most of our stay… enjoyed the beautiful ocean and fabulous weather. Watched people walking (many with dogs) cycling, running, surfing. We soaked up the sun, took pictures of the spectacular sunsets, drank wine and caught up on each other’s lives. Even considering staying an extra day but work beckoned for my friend. Definitely will return for our next girlfriend’s rendezvous, or a weekend with my hubby!

Bittersweet
Sweet….Absolutely loved access to the beach and the views from the front porch were amazing!! Bitter… lights on porch were broken and not working and lawn chairs on porch were too filthy to sit in or lay down. LOTS of ants inside the unit… completely filled our toiletry bags and personal belongings on makeup vanity. Air conditioning was included but was inadequate for cooling entire cottage. Front bedroom, specifically, was extremely hot! There was little to no lighting and outlet options available throughout the house. It was a lovely place to stay regarding location and access to the beach. However, for the cost and disregard for cleanliness, it was extremely disappointing.

Great little gem right on The Strand! Comfy, well stocked and nice extra property amenities. No a/c was ok due to the nice ocean breezes. Ceiling fan was tricky to figure out… needs a good dusting… but it worked. Overall, the unit was clean and furnishings were good. Loved the hot tub and fire pit area!

I absolutely loved this property! We only stayed for one night (which was one of the perks because a lot of places required 2-3 night stays which was out the budget) and it was worth it! I would recommend booking this 5-7 months ahead of time to get your money’s worth but I booked it last minute so the price was a little high but it was still worth it. The space was clean and adorable, it had the most gorgeous view and the ability to choose so many places to watch and hear the waves crash was unbelievable. The owner was extremely communicative, respectful, and accomodating. They left little notes around the house to for certain things on how to use it and they also was open to help whenever. My favorite part was how it really felt like it was our own beach house because of the fact that the property was one single thing rather than sharing its space with three other units (common along the other Strand properties). I am definitely going to book this place again because of the amazing view, privacy and just because!
