A perfect week at the beach! Beautiful home with everything we needed. Loved sitting on the deck watching the waves. Our doggo loved the yard and beach. Great host with clear directions. Can’t wait to return.
Beautiful location!! Beds were comfortable, accomodations were perfect, has anything & everything you need for a great vacation. Made many memories here!!
The property was spacious and clean with an exceptionally stocked kitchen. The deck is huge and the the yard being fenced with a gate directly to the beach was beyond the perfect set up for me and the dog.I spent most of my weekend either on the beach or on the deck!
Beautiful property and easy access to the beach. Provides essentials that most places don't. Easy to deal with and quickly responds to any questions or problems. Absolutely enjoyed ourselves and plan to stay again.
Loved this house for a family/pet friendly getaway. The yard was wonderful and the private beach access was the icing on the cake. The owner is very open to communication and accommodating as long as you ask her! Parking was very easy and kitchen gadgets are plentiful. The kids AND adults loved the arcade game machine. Good luck beating those top scores!
The house is incredible, very well equipped and comfortable. We cooked in most evenings and found everything we needed to complete our meals. The owners were very responsive and clearly identified all the information about the house. We will gladly stay there again.
This was our second summer vacation to Southern Wave. We love the property and the owners. It’s a perfect spot right on the beach. The house has all you need and the owners are super helpful and accessible.
We loved everything about this cabin! The beach access was fantastic. The views were incredible. The home was clean and fully stocked for all of our family needs, even the littles. We will be back!
The convenience to the beach and the views from the home are spectacular. The house was nice and the owners kept us up to date on everything we needed to do. We would consider this home for a second stay in the future!
GREAT location and loved that we could have our dogs with us.
Fantastic!! Only thing to mention is it would have been nice to be able to use the lift for bring up our luggage. Otherwise everything was as listed and great location. I will for sure stay here again.
