Everything was terrific for our family holiday stay. Beautiful morning sunrises. The house is a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen and some bedrooms have a partial ocean view. Grocery stores was a very short distance away. There was a also a small area that everything you need (movie theater, bar/lounge, clothing stores and breakfast cafe) all located next to grocery stores.The hosts are very sweet and responsive. I will definitely stay there again.

Amazing, vscation spot. Large enough for 3 families! Two second walk to the beach access. The large over hang on the pouch, lets you stay out all day and night with out getting too hot or wet from a stray shower. Will definitely keep this place in mind when we come down next year to look for a home.

This was the perfect house as we gathered to celebrate our childhood friend's wedding. The space was spacious and airy -- and well maintained. We loved being able to access the beach and walk to the house where the wedding was being hosted, 10 minutes down the beach. Communication was friendly, prompt and helpful. The check-out experience was stress-free. A really lovely home that was big enough for everyone to have their own space, while intimate enough to gather for a pre-dinner nibble and cocktail. Many special memories were made during our time there. Would love to come back someday!
