We went for a short anniversary weekend. It was just perfect. The location was great. Can’t beat oceanfront views. House was well equipped. Comfortable seating and bedroom sets. This is a cozy home! It’s on the smaller side so it would be best for a small family or just a couple staying in.

West End Gulls is an awesome place to spend some quiet and comfortable time at the beach. The location is very convenient with great ocean views from the house and deck. Easy beach access. The house is set up very well and has everything you need to enjoy your time at the beach! We will return!

Views were just as pictured, sand dunes and beach, ocean for miles. Perfect to sit on deck and catch BOTH sunrise and sunset at this time of year (October). House was clean, laundry available although we didn't use it. They did say we left an ink mark on sofa which we can't explain, but whatever, stuff happens and I'm sure it's true. Only reason for 4 star vs 5 star was the toilet paper - give me the good stuff!

Bright and cozy beachfront house

I loved the house, and the immediate proximity to the water. It was great to be able to walk off the deck and directly over the dune to the beach; I would definitely come back.
