The beach house was wonderful. Very well stocked and clean. We loved walking directly out the back gate and onto the beach. Would love to stay again!

This house was a dream! We loved the decor, comfortable beds, outdoor area, and the proximity to the beach! The heated pool was a bonus we didn’t know we needed, but with the cooler temps we were able to swim at any time of day. The sand on the beach here was clean and we were able to walk to the ocean without shoes but we were still able to find seashells. The best of both worlds! Our evenings were wrapped up with some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen! We then got to sleep in very clean and comfortable beds, which my 90 year old grandmother described as ‘sleeping in a cloud.’ The check out process was easy (we were not required to strip beds or do excessive clean up). There were even some extra public parking spaces across the road for when a few local friends stopped by to say hello. We truly felt like we were home while staying here and I hope to be able to come back in the future! The only potential concerns to mention for others would be that there is no bathtub, just showers in the bathrooms and, with the nearby public parking, I would recommend setting up your beach spot early in the morning because the beach does fill up a bit by 10am. I would highly recommend this property!

The house was very nice and updated. Great kitchen and open living/eating area. We were able to spend wonderful quality time with our adult children and 3 grandchildren ages 2 and under. Beautiful ocean views to enjoy coffee each morning. And just a quick 70 steps straight onto the beach. We were able to set up our canopy and spot by the water each morning and come back to the house as needed and still be able to keep an eye on our things out there. The pool is a bit on the smaller size but still refreshing! If it had 1 extra bedroom and bathroom it would make this the perfect family spot!

Great location, nice place. Very nice beach, but will get noisy on the weekend due to younger rambunctious crowds.
