This warm and welcoming home was the perfect nest for us. Spacious, comfortable, and close to all of our favorite spots- the harbor, the beach, so much good food and our friends. Thank you

Annual 5 friends weekend. We had a great time. The house was exactly, if not better, than described. Clean, comfortable, close to the beach, golf, restaurants and town. Plenty of places to relax inside and out. We were able to play scrabble, do crafts, enjoy meals. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. Very easy to coordinate with. Highly recommended!

This property was perfect for a low key weekend and everything was so clean it felt like the cleaners had just left. The host was super accommodating, communicative and friendly making the stay even better. It was a short walk to the beach and close in proximity to the boardwalk!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2024
Fabulous location and very clean! A comfortable home with a few recommendations for the owners. First, the beds need to be replaced in all rooms. Second, the couch and the LR chairs need to be replaced - it just may be time to replace the furniture in this lovely home. Finally, given that there is cleaning fee, we would not expect to strip the beds and to takeout all the trash. We understand the need to start laundry and to start dishwasher, but the other items seemed a bit much. With a check in time of 4 and a check out time of 11- it means that the last morning of your vacation ends up being breakfast followed by cleaning the home. The check-n and check-out times align with hotels ---- but with hotels, you just leave the room.
