Great place! We had an amazing time! The check in/checkout instructions were simple to follow. It was very nice having a washer/dryer & all the kitchen amenities. Only recommendation there would be to add a Keurig. Super convenient to the beach access & pier, delicious food across the street at Island Way & Seahorse, and the view from the porch was unbeatable. Loved that it was so pet friendly with the gates & fenced in area. Comfy beds. And the hosts were very easy to work with when we needed to extend our stay an extra day. It made the perfect place for our fifth anniversary trip. Thanks for having us & we'll be back!The Richardsons

We especially loved this property because of its location. The view of the ocean from the porch was very relaxing and the chairs were comfortable. The nearness to the pier and restaurant across the street was so convenient for my family. Beds were very nice and we all slept well. The tv was a little strange (difficult to turn on and mostly hispanic channels) but we didn't go there to watch tv anyway. Wifi worked well. The kitchen was well stocked and had more than enough of everything for us to cook the meals we wanted to. The owner was very concerned that we have everything we needed and went above and beyond expectations. I plan to rent this property again in future trips. We felt very much at home there. My dog Simon enjoyed the property too. The neighbor next door had a female dog and they enjoyed looking at each other and sniffing each other and just being dogs barking back and forth.

Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed our time at Reel Nice. The house was clean and comfortable for the 5 of us. There was plenty of space in the living areas and beds were comfortable. We loved the front and back decks, overlooking the ocean and the beach access was so close. Kitchen is well stocked and the little extras for daily living (toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.) were helpful. We'll definitely be back again!
