The house was comfortable and squeaky clean. I thought maybe a “dog friendly” place might have a dog smell. Not at all. It was one of the cleanest places that I have stayed. And my dogs were comfortable. My brother and his wife stopped by and they raved about the place, and said they would love to rent the house in the future. ##### Elizabeth M.

The property was very clean and well stocked! Access to the beach was great. Since it rained a lot on Saturday, we utilized the rocking chairs on the front deck; we could actually see the ocean! The only minor problems: the main bath shower & sink drained slow; the sink in the main bath had very low pressure; a little more toilet paper would have been nice. Other than that I would definitely stay again & highly recommend to others! ##### Lana B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie D.

Our black lab loved sitting on the front deck when he wasn’t in the ocean playing fetch. Great for our weekend getaway. Hope to return! ##### Stephanie D.

We really enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch. The green vegetation on the property was beautiful. We felt right at home. Good water pressure and we never ran out of hot water. A fair view of the ocean being second row. We would definitely consider renting again. ##### terri e.
