We had a very pleasant stay. Our family goes for the same week every year. Check-in was super easy, the house with very clean, and the staff was very accommodating!

We loved the convenience of this wonderful home. We walked to the beach daily, just a short stroll. Spacious home with good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. This is not your home if you can't walk stairs. Also the main level is on the third level. We would definitely stay here again.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2024
House was great and good location for access to beach. Couple small issues that were handled quickly by Coastline. Is listed as a 5 BR which is a little off. There are 4 bedrooms and a hallway to master suite with 2 small bunks.
