Great place for large groups!

We had the best time at this beach house! We had 3 couples with kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. The house came equipped with everything you would need for the pool and the beach (towels included)! It’s exactly a 3 minute walk to the beach (as advertised). The pool/spa combo was nice as well. The owners were very communicative throughout the whole stay. 10/10 would recommend and would stay here again!

This is the second year we’ve stayed here with our family and it’s perfect. We love the four master bedrooms with en suites. The pool is perfect and large enough for all 7 of us the be in there at the same time. The beach is a quick walk and there is daily availability to rent chairs and umbrellas. The house is very clean and fully stocked. We can’t say enough great things about this property!

Our family vacation was our 2024 Christmas present to our family and it turned out to be the Best present ever. The house is in a wonderful location in a culdesac with little traffic, the house itself is perfect with 5 gorgeous bedrooms and 4 full baths.

Best beach house rental!

This property is perfectly situated with a 3 minute walk to the beach, but on a quiet street with no traffic. House was fully stocked with every amenity. Host was phenomenal for proactive communication, this house specifically was the best in the neighborhood for its’ pool placement, depth and style. Hot tub was key and the beach supplies were plentiful.
