What Our Guests Are Saying

Sarah W.

"Excellent place for a party of 10! We had two families with kids ranging in age from 3-13 and two grandparents. My dad has mobility issues so he enjoyed the beach view from the deck and the short walk to the beach. The pool was great for the kids. The house was clean and roomy. The owners were very accessible by phone and got back to us immediately with questions we had. I have stayed in many places around the country and this house and location has been my favorite!"
