House was perfect location, super clean, cozy and had all the bare necessities we needed for our family. Weather was absolutely perfect too! We’re definitely keeping this house on our list of places to book for our beach getaways.

Great Location

Great Location/View! Home was fairly tired & worn. But that wasn’t an issue for us.Broken chair leg. No teaspoons, though I don’t know why anyone would require them. No toaster. Toaster oven was available, but it was a challenge figuring out how to use it properly or reset it.Limited TV options. In the Living Room there was a Roku remote but no TV remote. None of this was a significant issue.Checking in was an issue. Instructions said to come to the office (106 Aptos Beach Rd.) after 3:00pm to check in. It was a Sunday and the office was closed. My wife reached someone by phone (multiple tries) who instructed us to go directly to the house, and provided us with a lockbox code to access a key.When we got close we encountered a gate which we weren’t aware of. My wife called again and reached a different person (Kim?). She wasn’t very helpful, and suggested we wouldn’t have a problem if we read the instructions.About that time a couple came by who were going to go through the gate (walking). We chatted awhile and they gave us code to get in. Once we got to the house the lockbox/key worked fine.Just a minor blip.randy

Family Fun

Our family has headed to the beach every summer for almost 40 years now. With the location of this home, right on the sand, we decided to spend more time at the house and on the beach, and we absolutely loved it. We barbecued, built bonfires, sang songs and ate s’more‘s. It was such a great week with our kids and grandkids. Can’t wait until next year!

Great location

Location is everything. Made up for lack of other things. Very bare bones house, not a lot of kitchen amenities, no spices or even pepper. No ziploc bags. Keurig machine but no pods. Coffee maker but no coffee. Lots of Knick knacks, but it gave it character. Would come back again.

Wonderful Get Away

I took my family to the beach where I spent my Summer vacations at Rio Del Mar. This house is right on the beach. It has lots of room for those that want to read and those that want to play video games. The kitchen was well equipped. It’s fun to sit out on the deck and watch people walking by with their dogs. The view of the ocean is right in front of you. Beautiful sunsets. I couldn’t have dreamed a better vacation. It took me back to my childhood 60 years ago!

Amazing house

We absolutely loved our few days in the house. The younger children loved playing in the sand right at the bottom of the stairs. The house had enough space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked. I have seen some previous reviews about the decorations. There are quite a few but they are cute and fun. I would recommend this house for sure.

Kitchen sink backed up. Called the handyman. Dishwasher was broken. WE drained and took it apart to fix it. Manager was unkind about it.

Great Location

If you are offended by some dust on the overwhelming amount of knick knacks or that the house is a bit dated - than this may not be the place for you. I was able to easily overlook that because the location was fantastic. We were quite literally RIGHT on the beach and it was beautiful. I would stay there again.

We loved it!

We had a really great time and the house was amazing. There was a pile of dirty sheets and towels on the floor when we arrived and no clean towels, but Bailey’s sent over housekeeping to take the dirty laundry and leave clean towels and sheets. Otherwise, the weekend was amazing and we would totally rent this place again!

Exactly what a beach house should be. Nothing fancy, amazing views, just as happy in the house looking out as on the beach. Great stay and great property management support.

The property is in a great location, but a little run-down. It needs some basic maintenance and de-cluttering of owners knick-knacks....Great views and ocean access....love the floor plan. We would return!

Great location. The house was ok with plenty of room but really needs to be updated. Interior is dated. We chose this house for location and it didn’t disappoint .. if it had a more modern layout on the inside then this would be a clear 5

Wonderful location & home

A perfect place to stay on the beach. We've been staying on the island in the past, but this is so much better. Nicely equipped kitchen, large bathrooms and the bunk beds were a hit for the 4 teenagers! Plus our own parking!!!
