Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed our time at Reel Nice. The house was clean and comfortable for the 5 of us. There was plenty of space in the living areas and beds were comfortable. We loved the front and back decks, overlooking the ocean and the beach access was so close. Kitchen is well stocked and the little extras for daily living (toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.) were helpful. We'll definitely be back again!

Perfect Getaway

We gathered with family for Thanksgiving and the house was just perfect. The host worked with us for our arrival, which was seamless, and the house easily fit our family and dogs. The house was well stocked with everything needed and had the perfect spot to view sunrises and sunsets over the ocean. We are already talking about when we can return.

Ocean view home

Clean, pet friendly property, located across the street from beach access. All on one floor which was great for our geriatric dog. Beautiful deck overlooking water and another in back for when it was really windy (and to see sunrise).
