We have stayed in this house many times. There have been some good upgrades since our last stay. The view is amazing, and the host was very nice and responsive. Our only complaint is that there are no shades in the living room, and for the two hours before sunset, sitting on the sofa is nearly impossible. That isn’t a rental issue, but an owner issue that needs to be fixed.

Birthday weekend
Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and sofa. Good for a gathering of friends and family. Marvelous view of the ocean. Only thing to watch out for is that the front door closes shut and there’s no way to leave the door unlocked so be careful not to get locked out. That happened to us but fortunately the management was available to give us the spare key lock box code. So good communication. Also there are lots of small burrs in the foliage around house so be careful to check dog paws if you bring a dog.

Great family getaway with amazing views
Our family of 8 adults and 2 infants enjoyed our 3 night stay. The view from the house has to be seen to be believed. Beds and linens were very comfortable. The living room and dining area were big enough for us to spread out in. The kitchen was well supplied. We would definitely visit again.

Million Dollar View!!
Our extended family of 10 (ages 73 to 11) had a wonderful stay! Yes, the cabin is "rustic" as advertised, but the location is priceless! Amazing ocean and sunset views from the bluff overlooking the private beach below. When the tide is out the scenic little beach is great for beachcombing and playing in the waves and we all spent hours down there. The little path from the back of the house to the beach directly below is a bit steep and rocky (though this 73 year old made it up and down OK) but is well worth the scramble. When we took the grandkids over to beautiful Dillon Beach one afternoon, they begged to come back to "our private beach that was way more fun"... The house was stocked with everything we needed and the beds were clean and comfortable. And as an added bonus you get deer wandering across the yard every morning! The property managers were very prompt and responsive when we called with a problem when we first arrived, and were there immediately to remedy the issue, which was appreciated. Overall we had a great time there, with lots of family memories made

Its all about the view
The view from this location is why you come here. Like another commenter replied, hearing the ocean crash on the rocks is what made this a great outing. I will also say driving around and finding local cheese shops, bakeries, and side of the road honor system farm fresh veggie/egg huts rounded out the trip perfectly. The whole family gave the location a thumbs up.

Going to bed with the sounds of waves crashing, waking up to that beautiful ocean was just what we needed. Just two of us staying as a home base for beach time and exploring. The house was well stocked for our needs, the beds were super comfy and very clean. Thank you!

Wonderful stay in great location!
We were two families with three very young kids who spent a birthday weekend at this location. The views were spectacular, communication with the host was easy, and we had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our stay. I’m not sure that this location should be considered “luxury” as the inside is quite outdated unlike the photos, but this did not impact the quality of our stay. The short drive to Dillon Beach was also a big plus, we went multiple times. I recommend this stay.

Family Birthday Weekend
We rented the house to celebrate my sister and nieces birthday for the weekend. The house was in good shape and had everything we needed for the weekend. It was very close to the beach and had a fantastic view of the ocean. The internet worked great and bedroom heaters were nice.
The large windows have no curtains to block the setting sun which heated up the living room and gave quite the glare. Other than needing some curtains for the big windows, the stay was great.
