We had a wonderful time. House was amazing, location was beautiful. Our only issue was the stove, it is worn out and made cooking difficult.

Beautiful property!

We had an amazing stay! As amazing as the pictures are, they are just a taste of how great the property is. Getting to walk right onto the sand everyday from the back deck was such a dream. The decks all had an amazing view of the ocean. We had the pool heated, and it was the perfect temperature to swim in December. We even had a day that was warm enough to sit at the ocean and walk out a little off the beach. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and all of us had a perfect vacation! We never wanted to leave. I can’t recommend this property enough, and I hope we can come back one day.

Absolutely amazing!!

We stayed at Livin the dream during off season. We were hesitant to book because of weather but i’m so glad we did! This place is absolutely heaven on earth! It’s so beautiful. You walk right off the deck onto the beach. The home was beautifully decorated and very clean! There wasn’t one thing we disliked about our trip! We were so sad to leave! Definitely coming back!! Highly recommend booking this home! The realty company is very quick to help with anything you need! Thank you for the best vacation!!

Best house on the beach!

13 family/friends enjoyed a pre-Xmas vacation on the beach. We had the pool heated but it was too cold to enjoy it being above ground. We had to ask for more towels but that was a minor hiccup. The only complaint we had was that the sofa needs to be wiped down because leather carries odors and the balcony chairs were full of dog hairs. I’d also advise guests to bring their own pillows if you need something firmer all in all we’d definitely book again.

Living the Dream

Terrific location on the beach. Great house. New owner so hopefully the do a better job with upkeep and cleaning. Needs some work. All the beds and mattresses need replacement, doors hard to close, towel bars missing and a few other things. However we wanted to rent again same dates in 2023 but all summer was booked. Will probably try 2024.
