Everything was great, but what I love the most was that is literally steps away from the water. I loved it.

Excellent house right on beach

We loved our stay in this house. It was very clean, and the upstairs porch is very breezy. The beach is no more than 20 steps from the back of the house. It's pretty easy to sit on the porch in the shade for a break from the heat and watch others play on the beach. The mosquitos were not too bad for us except in the evening, and under the house. If there is a decent breeze, the mosquitos are not too bad on the porch. If there is a strong breeze, they are not all that bad under the house either. However, after dark, if there is no breeze, you will get absolutely mobbed by mosquitos in the summer. Make sure to plan accordingly. We are likely to book this property again, as it is a great place to stay on the beach.

Family vacation

We had a great time at this property! Stephanie was very helpful and answered all my questions. We loved the spacious deck and how it was right on the beach. The breeze was amazing on the deck, you wouldn’t have known it was 100 degrees outside. The house was clean and cute but our only complaint was the mosquitos. Make sure you bring bug spray!!
