Weekend of fun

I want to thank y'all for the best wedding. This house is beautiful and has a lot of room. We could not get the music going inside the house. We just might have to save up and stay there again, or maybe a smaller place for just my husband and me.

True On the Beach Experience

If you're looking for a true in the beach vacation, look no further. Wake up to a sunrise on the deck, walk to the beach and hangout for the day, enjoy the views in the evening, watch movies at night in front of the massive outdoor bar area or while relaxing in the hot tub. Great house, fun location!

October Anniversary

The house was clean and welcoming. Plenty of lighting in each room. The bunk room was a nice feature for additional guests. The tiki bar area with the television, hot tub, and second kitchen was great. Great view of the ocean and sunrise/sunset on the top floor. Having a lift would help with carrying belongings up and down the stairs since there are 2 sets of stairs. Kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary utensils. Refrigerators worked great. Beds and bedding were comfortable. AC worked great.Thank you

Fantastic stay booked on extremely short notice

This property is perfect if you want a beach get away with a large family or friends. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. The beach is excellent and warm enough for swimming even in late December.

Great Home and Location

We absolutely loved Waves & Whiskey. It is in a great location right on the beach. It was so relaxing to sit on the balcony in the morning and have coffee. Besides the beach, there are several things to do in the area that are not crazy expensive. We will be back again!
