"We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! It was perfect for our group of six couples, with plenty of space and a very well-equipped kitchen. It was also wonderfully accommodating for babies and families. The pool and pool area were a highlight, and the beautiful views from the house were hard to beat. The direct beach access was wonderful and made enjoying the beach so easy and convenient. The host was excellent—responsive, helpful, and made our stay even more enjoyable. There was occasional traffic/road noise, but overall, it was a fantastic place for a relaxing group getaway!"

"Very nice house with short walk to the beach! The only thing I would recommend is a handrail into the pool. I had hoped to be able to use the pool since I can’t walk far enough to get to the beach. But without a handrail, my 78 year old self couldn’t even get into the pool. Hope you’ll consider that in the future. We would enjoy coming back if that change is made."
