Apr 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Older Home but cozy This is an older home. I could feel the love in it when I walked in. It's definitely not the fancy hotels you would stay but it's cozy. The beds do need replacing as my husband and myself along with my son and daughter-in-law rolled to the middle of the beds. It is better than the place we are staying now. ##### Charlotte H. Stayed 168 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Butch Y. Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy House was an older home, but updated and very clean. Very close to the ocean. The only complaint is that two bedrooms didn't have televisions in them. ##### Butch Y. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen C. Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easy walk to the beach We had to make last minute plans and found this house available. It was an easy walk to the pier and the beach. The house is located on the same street as the pier so that was very convenient. It was clean and check out was easy using the linen bags. The outdoor shower was was a great amenity. It is fully closed in so you can take a real shower outside. My only complaint is the beds are super hard and I am used to a much softer bed. I would absolutely stay her again. ##### Ellen C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn y. Apr 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brought my Mom for her 97th birthday. This property was convenient to everything. Loved the screened in porch! It was partially handicapped accessible which made it easy for Mom. Will definitely stay there again! ##### Carolyn y. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Omni Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Omni-Charlotte-Hotel.h6961.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hilton-Miami-Airport-Blue-Lagoon.h12652.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Washington Mayfair Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Washington-Mayfair-Hotel.h528338.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Charlotte](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-The-Westin-Charlotte.h899229.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaanapali-Hotels-Royal-Lahaina-Resort-Bungalows.h34767.Hotel-Information) > > [Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Calgary-Airport-Marriott-In-Terminal-Hotel.h15739231.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Narita-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aNRT-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chelsea Hotel, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Chelsea-Hotel.h27994.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Sheraton-Vancouver-Wall-Centre.h11699.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Charlotte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Sheraton-Charlotte-Hotel.h11574.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Marlowe Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-Kimpton-Marlowe-Hotel.h903185.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Antigua and Barbuda](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Antigua-And-Barbuda-Family-Hotel.0-0-d7-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Northlake](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlotte-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Charlotte-Northlake.h2097104.Hotel-Information) > > [Centennial Hotel Spokane](https://www.expedia.ca/Spokane-Hotels-Centennial-Hotel-Spokane.h58729.Hotel-Information) > > [The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Asheville-Hotels-The-Omni-Grove-Park-Inn.h438107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dauphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Hotels.d3923.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Arusha (JRO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/jro/toronto-to-kilimanjaro) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/mco/buffalo-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yhz/edmonton-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Bocas del Toro (BOC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/boc/vancouver-to-bocas-del-toro) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ath/montreal-to-athens) > > [Flights from Chattanooga (CHA) to Gulfport (GPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cha/gpt/chattanooga-to-gulfport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Punta Cana (PUJ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/puj/yyz/punta-cana-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Addis Ababa (ADD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/add/calgary-to-addis-ababa) ### Packages > [Scarborough Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Spa-Scarborough.d6173402.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Central Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Central.d10503.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Nov Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Nov.d6341794.Destination-Travel-Guides)
