A spacious covered street-side porch offers even more room to spread out and enjoy the coastal breeze.

Lovely home w/pool and ocean front

The home was beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped. The pool was a nice added extra esp being ocean front. Our only complaint was that the thermostat was controlled remotely by the owner and not allowed to be set below 72. Although 72 was okay for daytime, We enjoy sleeping in a cooler environment, so our sleeps while there were not enjoyable. Considering the price we paid, a few more degrees should have been acceptable. We had to leave several days early for a death in the family which we didn’t mind doing to be able to sleep in our own cooler homes at night. Had the ac not been an issue we would’ve rated this place a 5.

Nice property

The house was perfect for our size of family with all amenities. It was very close to the beach with a nice deck to sit and watch the sunrise. If you're looking for a smaller home, this has everything that you need. Well kept and very clean.

Awesome property

Awesome property! Enjoyed the summer storms dancing on the ocean from the porch. Everything was just right! The boardwalk was perfect for my handicapped father-n-law . Pool was nice in the mid day heat! A section of the garage would have been nice for the golf cart an motorcycle But, overall the family had an awesome time! Thank you so much for letting us borrow your little piece of paradise!!!

Well worth it

Easy, informative, great checkin and out. The previous occupant and cleaning crew never swept floors. I know we left it cleaner than got there. Overall a great house and experience
