We had the best stay! We had three adults, each with our own room/bed. It was a wonderful location close to restaurants, coffee shops, and more. The house was spotless, easy check-in, and stocked with everything we needed. Literal steps to the beach and outdoor furniture to enjoy. Would 10/10 stay again.

This house was perfect! You open the back door and you're on the beach. The inside was very clean and the inside is well furnished with new appliances and all the essentials that you need. Being steps from the ocean is the highlight of the property. We've been staying in the area for the last 15 years and this was our favorite place that we've stayed. We will definitely be back!
