What an amazing place to have a family vacation. We were so close to the beach. The kids just loved it! It was also really great to have lots of space to spread out in, so you weren't on top of each other the whole time. I would recommend highly and hope to come back again someday!

The house was amazing for the price point. We enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, the sand toys, chairs, and other items available to use at the beach. We also enjoyed the games available to use inside the house, since the evenings were dark when we visited.There is a resident blue crab under the deck which was fun to watch each day. The area is very family friendly.

Great value with a view! Just little upkeep things need to be done. Like dusting the fans and dvd player, rechaking the bathroom floor, and update internal signage. Hosts make you feel very welcomed and pretty well stocked in the communal manner. Do bring tp, paper towels and laundry soap.

This property was just as listed. Well stocked kitchen with all the essentials. Clean home. Reliable, cool A/C. Fenced deck, great for pets and small children. Fenced pet area on the ground level. Great and plentiful seating on the deck. Great view of the dunes/ beach from the deck. There was a feet washing station on the deck stairs and a hose in the upper deck and below the house for easy washing. Quiet street. Easy walk to the beach. Peaceful strip of beach, not crowded at all. Overall wonderful property and very kind and helpful hosts. Hope to revisit this property!
