We enjoyed our stay here! The house was extremely clean and well decorated - just like the pictures! There is an “old-house smell” when you first walk in, but it did not bother us too much. We loved being able to walk to the beach and to breakfast! Not to mention, we loved being able to have our dog with us! Overall, we would recommend staying here!

Clean, well stocked, easy check in, very comfortable home. We were in town to meet our newborn granddaughter and it was perfect. Enough room for my son his wife my husband and I and a baby and doggy. Beach is literally across the street, 50 yards to public walkway to the sand. Nice porch with chairs, outbuilding with all the necessities. Our son will be here another 4 years, we’ll definitely be back, this was perfect.
