The check in process was seamless and so easy. The host kept in contact throughout our stay and was very helpful. She had games, books and even all the beach stuff needed to enjoy our stay. The home was clean and very nice. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, dishes and silverware. The neighborhood was as very quiet and pleasant. I will definitely keep this property in mind for future stays. It also had more than enough room for my large family of 8. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to be close to the beach, fun activities and/ or just looking to relax!!!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We came to watch our grandson play baseball but because of our proximity to the beach we also got to enjoy the waves and the water between games. The house was exceptionally clean. I need to know their secret - that close to the beach and not a grain of sand on the floor. Also close to great restaurants. Plenty of fans to keep the air circulating in the heat of the day.The only thing that would have made our stay better was if our grandson had won his game.

Very roomy. The water pressure in the two bathrooms could have been better. Close to the beach and the neighbor, Kyle, who you share the driveway with, could not be nicer. Would definitely come back again.
