The house was clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed yo cook dinner. We walked to the sound at night to watch the sunset and the ocean beach is just a short drive from the house. Would definitely stay here again! Restaurants and grocery stores nearby too. ##### Alexandra Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda B. 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It was great! Lovely neighborhood, close proximity to everything, beautiful home! Water pressure was very low, but that seems to be very common at the beach. ##### Linda B.

The house was perfect! Great layout, very spacious and good location. It would be a short walk to the beach but we chose to drive because of the threat of storms! Definitely coming back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### KRISTAL B. 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house! Loved the house and was very spacious. Wish it had more towels and dish rags. We traveled by plane and wish the house supplied some beach chairs and umbrella. Other than that it was a perfect stay! ##### KRISTAL B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda M. 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home is beautiful and well equipped. My family loved the kitchen. A couple of things that could use some attention. The towels at Motel 6 are better than the thin white,old towels we had. Only one kitchen towel. The bathtub/jet tub in the master across from kitchen needs to be cleaned. The jets have black mold, one quick Clorox should fix that. And the trash bags were cheap and not for a kitchen trash and recycling. We’d come back if we knew they took care of a couple of things. It was a great location just a 5 minute walk to my friends beautiful home/pool. ##### Brenda M.
