This is a lovely house in a great location. The property is as described with most of what we needed but it's not a place that exceeded our expectations. We loved the outdoor seating places. The proximity to Washington park and the beach was great.

Awesome house & so close to the Beach!!

The homeowners had thought of almost everything. Kitchen was well stocked as well as supplies. We didn't find the beach wagon until day before we left, but we should have called and asked. Great place to stay!!

New, clean, just as in pictures. Easy walk to the beach if you don't have much to carry. A 5-minute drive to Washington Park Beach, if you've got too much gear. Great place for the 12 of us, from 7 to 67. Would stay here again. No soap or shampoo in the bathrooms?

Fantastic House in a Wonderful Neighborhood

Fabulous, spacious house with amazing decks in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen area and large living room were perfect for my family, and my two little granddaughters loved all the room for playing! The codes used to lock and unlock the doors worked flawlessly. The uppermost deck was perfect for late evening relaxing with drinks, while the covered front porch was outstanding for sitting during a steady rain.

A short walk to the beach but fair warning there are stairs and hills involved but you can drive and park close by. The beach wagon included was great. We loved the house and would definitely return.

Epic time with my amazing family

We had the most amazing time. We were able to walk to the park and beach. The water was absolutely freezing cold and the sand was very hot. But that didn't stop us from having so much fun. The kids even enjoyed the stay. I was able to reset my peace back. We are looking forward to coming back again. We enjoyed the outside of the property too. And watching the sunrise was awesome. They have everything you need right there. All you need to bring is your family and friends.

Priceless Memories

We just returned from an amazing vacation at this property! Perfect size for our group of 10. We enjoyed the walks to the beach. You can choose from several beach access locations or drive and pay to park. Since we were provided with a beach wagon, we walked. We had everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen. Loved the front porch, 2 different decks, and could watch the sunset over the water from the upper balcony. The kids had plenty of space to play, enjoyed smores at the fire pit, and even a short walk to the zoo. The home itself is beautiful, maintained and has quality furnishings. Would definitely recommend!!!

We had a wonderful stay and could not have been happier with our experience. The home was spacious, clean, and comfortably accommodated our entire group. Everything was well-maintained and exactly as described.One thing that really stood out was the responsiveness of the host. We had a minor maintenance issue during our stay, and communication was prompt and professional. The host responded within the hour and arranged for the issue to be addressed at a time that worked best for our schedule, which we greatly appreciated.Beach access was easy and convenient, making it simple to enjoy our time by the water. The location was excellent, and the property provided everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.This was our first experience staying at this location, and it exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable property with exceptional host communication and service.
