Inside, cozy comforts and modern amenities blend together perfectly. The sun-filled living room boasts soft seating, tasteful decorations, and a large TV. The galley-style kitchen comes well-prepared for culinary ventures with its stainless steel appliances and plentiful meal prep space. Guests will enjoy dining with their loved ones at the quaint dining table, or alfresco on the patio.

Both bedrooms feature plush linens, inviting color palettes, and private TVs. A private washer/dryer, board games, central air-conditioning, dog bowls, a leash, and bags in the closet round out the home's stellar interior perks!

Family beach trip

The house was everything we expected and more. Very clean and plenty of room for 5 of us. The location was prefect. Walking distant to the beach, even for a child. Our granddaughter loved having a pool right outside our front door. The outside shower was perfect when returning from the beach. Will definitely book again for our next beach trip.

Excellent place!!

This was the perfect spot for my family of four with two teens. While we did not bring our dogs it is pet friendly. The place is updated and very nice, safe, quiet, and a just a quick walk to the beach. The place was clean overall, however the bunk bed bedding was not the cleanest and the floors weren’t as clean as they needed to be. With that being said we would still stay here again in the future! We will be back!

Walk to beach

Great location-short walk to beach. Quiet, relaxing vacation area, not overrun with tourists. House was clean and very nice. Bring your own dish soap, laundry soap, and toilet paper if you are staying for more than a week As you will surely run out. Communicating with company is not like having an owner to help. Replies were automated and limited comprehension of what I was saying.
