Jun 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Time You cannot beat the beach access from this house, and sitting on the balcony/screened porch with the cool ocean breeze blowing was our absolute favorite. Our combined families of 12 people slept very comfortably here, and the kitchen was the most well-stocked of any VRBO we’ve been to. Thermostat broke while we were there, and property maintenance man had it replaced the same day we called. Would definitely stay again. ##### bernie w.

Best feature was the GREAT screened porch. It was big, well-furnished and well-shaded all day long. I love to cook and the kitchen was furnished much better than most rentals with utensils, cutting boards and good-quality cookware, The beach area was very nice as well. Not too crowded, a gentle slope good for the kids, and fine firm sand great for bike-riding. I would definitely recommend and return! ##### Christopher L.

The kitchen is well stocked. We prepared several dinners and it had everything I needed. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. Any inquiry I had was quickly answered. We loved the outdoor shower for rinsing off after a hot, sandy day at the beach. ##### Katherine L.

Lovely home that was obviously well cared for…everyone was comfortable there. Downstairs bedroom smelled mildewey but I imagine bedrooms on ground floors oceanfront have that problem regularly. ##### Karen Z. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom S.

Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy When we booked, we were concerned about the size of the house and rooms, but we were very pleased that there was plenty of room and many beds for our large group. The oceanfront location and oceanfront decks are spectacular. I would give a five, but there were several items in need of repair, but they didn't signicantly affect our stay. We would definitely stay here again and again. ##### Bruce M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris D.

Located just outside the beach sand dunes with beach access boardwalk running along side property. Host was very accommodating with any concerns or issues we had (only one minor issue that was remedied a.s.a.p.) and is a place I would definately stay again for that group size. I could not have been any happier with the property. ##### Kelly G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary F.

We had 11 adults staying at the house four families that worked out great. The house was beautiful on the beach just like they said the amenities were perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with very good quality things to cook with. Also had plenty of beach accessories sometimes you don’t find those things when you rent houses, but they said they were going to be there and they were there. ##### Mary F.
