The location is what you’re paying for. Imagine waking up each morning and being the only one on a breath taking beach. But beware …. The smell of the water coming through the plumbing smelt like raw sewage and the mold/mildew from the house being closed up was a bit strong. A couple of hours with the windows opened allowed us to sleep peacefully with the waves in the background. Be prepared with a case of water, and candles and you will be set. This is not meant to be a negative post…. Just want others to be prepared.

Private Spot on the Beach

Love this property. Stayed for our 30th Anniversary. Amazing views from the deck. Just steps from the water. Great AC and appliances. Comfy furniture. No interruptions. It would be a ideal place for a couple and up to two small children. Very cozy and within walking distance of two restaurants.

Great location, poor communication and response from owners.

The house sits right on the beach which is great. When we arrived half of the house did not have power. The AC unit would run for a few minutes and then turn off. When we contacted the owner and she said that her husband was out of town and that he normally handled these things. So the first night we couldn't cook or cool the house. They did come out around 11 the next morning and fixed the power to the house. Howeber, the AC still would not run properly. I did attempt to contact the owner to let them know about the AC and never heard anything back. We were unable to cool the house for the duration of our stay.
