Akvavit - Water of life

Akvavit ('Water of Life')
What a fabulous home on the beach! This is the first time this new owner has offered the home to guests. It is not just a a rental home with sparse furniture and decorating .. it is a family home that feels like a real home.

Once you enter the home, you will notice the wide open spaces and fantastic view of the the beach and ocean from almost every room in the home....from the well appointed Living Room to Dining Room that seats 6-8, the Sun Room for your morning coffee or cocktails in the evening, the expansive and fully equipped Kitchen to the Den with TV.

Just out the Sun Room is the deck with your own private catwalk out to the beach. Plus another deck on the lower level.

Now the bedrooms ... The Master (2nd Floor) has a fabulous view of the ocean (what a way to wake up!) with full bath featuring a whirlpool tub, walk in shower and huge walk-in closet...and TV.

The second bedroom (2nd Floor) has a Queen, Bunk Bed and TV with a private ensuite bathroom.

The third bedroom (1st Floor) has two twins. The fourth bedroom has a King size bed. Between the rooms, is a full sized bathroom with Shower/Tub combo!

Note: All TV's in the home are Smart TV's. Making access to your favorite streaming platforms available to you!

With WiFi, a separate laundry room with washer/dryer, gas grill, beach chairs and more ... Akvavit has it all ...to make your once a year vacation a truly dream vacation!

Great getaway!
This trip is exactly what we needed! Sun, sand and convenience! Right on the beach was perfect for coming and going with the kids. Grocery store super close to the house, and a ton of dining options. The house was perfect for our 2 families and enough space for everyone! Would definitely come back and stay here!

Homeowner Cancelled !
PLEASE NOTE: my rating isn't quite accurate, as we never stayed in the property. so I really cant judge the cleanliness of the home, but this site requires all questions to be answered. After paying in-full, months in advance, we were notified by the Property Manager, 7 days before check-in, that the homeowner had cancelled our reservation & the home was no longer available for us. Fortunately, and gratefully, VRBO did refund 100% of our money. The property manager did assist us with renting elsewhere and agreed, in two emails, that she would reimburse us for the difference, as the 2nd property was more expensive. She reassured us a check was going to be mailed, by USPS Priority Mail, several weeks ago. We have yet to receive it. My family and I have rented through VRBO for many years, & always able to leave a 5 star review. This situation was unique and very disturbing. Again, we are so grateful to VRBO for reimbursing us, and initially felt very grateful that the property manager who not only helped us to secure another vacation property in short notice, and reimburse us the difference in cost. Her initial correspondence to us was prompt and seemed so sincere. We surely hope nothing bad or unfortunate has happened to her. And, we surely would like her to honor her offer to reimburse us the difference in cost. We have tried for weeks to contact her by phone and email without any response from her. Sincerely, Mary Ellen & family

Excellent stay!
Coming from upstate New York, we were escaping winter for a while. The location and house were all we hoped it would be. We met some other travelers that we hope to see again next year. Kendra and Evan were very helpful.
