It was so clean inside, she had a state of the art locking system with code for the door, left us a bottle of wine and Charcuterie tray, had everything you could possibly need in the apartment, and then some! Ellen was such a gracious host and checked to make sure we didnt have any questions or need her help in any way. She just called me to check on my daughter who lives in Asheville which was affected by the hurricane. How sweet and thoughtful of her. She is a super, super host!!

From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Her hospitality went above and beyond—always attentive, kind, and available if we needed anything. You can truly tell she puts her heart into making her guests feel comfortable and at home. The space itself was just as amazing—beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. Every little detail was taken care of, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ellen, for making our trip so special. We would absolutely love to stay here again! ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise M. 4 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easy stay Ellen's place is so easy to get to; right off Hwy 1 yet just steps to the beach. We so appreciated not having to fight for a place to park on the busy holiday weekend. We especially enjoyed the beach chairs and towels, the patio area, the large shower, and nearby restaurants. Ellen was out of town during our stay, but checked in with us via email every day to make sure we weren't in need of anything. She also left us chocolates adn champagne to enjoy. Her place was just the right size for a weekend stay for the two of us. We would definitely stay again! ##### Denise M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ---
