Reviewer Comments:
Gorgeous home, immaculately maintained and stocked (only spices food wise), beautiful landscape and incredibly close the beach (not a swimming beach, but beautiful. Kinda long walk to tunnels beach especially if carrying gear). The views and decks are amazing. There’s a hot tub and tons of beach gear and lawn games (I wish they had snorkel gear). One tip is that local roosters crow loudly and nonstop from 4am on. Sleep with white noise on.

This rental was stunning home! Very private and surrounded by so much natural beauty. The house was very clean, the furniture and appliances all looked brand new. It was the perfect place to stay for our family’s island get away. And every room had A/C, which came in handy for the hot and humid days/nights.

Reviewer Comments:
I had the pleasure of staying at this home with my wife, two small kids and parents. The house was *very* clean and comfortable. The house has a great layout. The bathrooms are all remodeled and modern. The wrap around deck gives you tons of options to sit outside and the views off the front porch are amazing. We ate outside on the large, covered table every night. The yard is big enough for the kids to run around and is nicely maintained. The only thing to keep in mind is the bunk bed room is separate from the main house so a little tricky with small kids. The location is one of the best on the north shore. The closest beach is a 5 minute walk and beautiful, although not ideal for swimming. If you head to tunnels and the parking is full you can walk pretty easily. It’s a quick drive to all the best beaches on the north shore. We would absolutely go back to this house and recommend it to anyone!
